Hasan Minhaj Jokes About Fact-Checking Scandal in Netflix Special

Hasan Minhaj Jokes About Fact-Checking Scandal in Netflix Special
SHARE

Hasan Minhaj’s latest Netflix special, “Off With His Head,” addresses the fact-checked jokes scandal that caused him to lose the opportunity to host “The Daily Show.” Minhaj, known for his sharp wit and social commentary, humorously fact-checks himself during the special, admitting that he doesn’t own a white BMW 3 Series but instead leases a 2023 Kia Carnival.

The controversy surrounding Minhaj began when The New Yorker published a profile in September 2023, revealing that he had embellished stories in his stand-up specials, including a dramatic tale about receiving a suspicious envelope of white powder. Minhaj confessed that while the incident did happen, his infant daughter was never in danger, contrary to what he had previously claimed on stage.

Despite Minhaj’s explanation that his stand-up stories are based on real events but embellished for comedic effect, Comedy Central reportedly reconsidered him as the permanent host of “The Daily Show” following the fact-checking scandal. Variety reported that Minhaj was initially a top contender for the role after Trevor Noah’s departure, but the network expanded their search in light of the controversy.

In his special, Minhaj humorously addresses the backlash he faced, poking fun at the situation by comparing it to a tab on his Wikipedia page labeled “controversies.” He acknowledges that while his embellishments may not be as scandalous as other public figures, he understands the importance of being factually accurate in his storytelling.

Overall, Minhaj’s candid approach to addressing the fact-checked jokes scandal showcases his ability to navigate controversy with humor and self-awareness. Despite the setback in his career, Minhaj continues to entertain audiences with his unique comedic voice and insightful social commentary.
