Comedian Hasan Minhaj performs at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
While some say that Hasan Minhaj fabricating parts of stories for his standup routine is common practice among comedians, others contend that the way he went about it compromises his integrity and makes him unfit for the role of host of The Daily Show. The New Yorker magazine recently published an article detailing how Minhaj overexaggerated or fabricated parts of his standup comedy act. To anyone who felt betrayed or hurt by my standup, I am sorry.
Minhaj acknowledged in the article that some of those stories were untrue, but he said they were all based on "emotional truths."who left the program early last month, comedians doctor their material all the time. Minhaj later said that he did get an envelope filled with white powder, but the substance never fell on his daughter and that he quickly realized it wasn't anthrax.
