Upon taking the stage, Chieng quipped, “I’m surprised that Hasan’s able to do this show. I guess ‘canceling’ is not what it used to be,” a nod to Minhaj’s ordeal that began when he admitted to making up some seemingly autobiographical details in his 2022 comedy special The King’s Jester.

When pressed in a New Yorker interview published in September 2023, Minhaj said the details in two of the stories in particular — “Brother Eric,” about a white FBI informant who joined a Sacramento mosque, and another story about his daughter being exposed to a white powder (presumed to be anthrax) in the mail and her subsequent hospitalization — were largely fabricated. “The punch line is worth the fictionalized premise,” he reasoned.

The backlash from the admission — where Minhaj defended the “emotional truth” of the stories while side-stepping their veracity — likely cost the former Patriot Act host an opportunity to lead the post-Trevor Noah Daily Show, as Minhaj was reportedly one of three finalists for the gig before the controversy.
