About the Show
After years fearing he’d never be a father, gay Armenian-American Haig “Hike” Chahinian became the happiest dad of a bouncing Black biracial baby girl. Seeking to be the best Janelle Monáe-listening, Black Girl Magic-supporting, antiracist papa ever, he instead stumbles through the humbling and oft-hilarious fumbles of fatherhood in multiracial America. Inspired by his viral essays in New York Times Modern Love, Cosmopolitan, and O The Oprah Magazine, “Best. Dad. NEVER.” is searing, intimate, richly relatable comedic storytelling about what we inherit, what we pass down, and the inherent conflict in striving to be good.
