Hasan Minhaj
After working as a stand-up comedian and appearing in minor television roles, Minhaj came to prominence for his work on The Daily Show as its senior correspondent from 2014 to 2018. He was the featured speaker at the 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. His first stand-up comedy special, Homecoming King, released on Netflix in May 2017, received positive reviews from critics and won him his first Peabody Award in 2018.
Minhaj left The Daily Show in August 2018 to host a weekly comedy show, Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, which debuted on Netflix in October 2018. In April 2019, he won his second Peabody Award for Patriot Act. Minhaj released his second Netflix special, Hasan Minhaj: The King's Jester, in 2022, and appeared in season two of the Apple TV+ drama series The Morning Show in a recurring role.
In September 2023, The New Yorker published an article claiming instances of Minhaj embellishing or exaggerating various anecdotes and stories about him being victim of racism, that were part of his comedy specials and repeated in interviews. Minhaj responded to the reporting, saying it was taken out of context, and provided the surrounding context to the interview snippets in a YouTube interview.
