The Daily Show’s Hasan Minhaj Lands His Own Netflix Talk Show
Hasan Minhaj, one of the correspondents on The Daily Show, has just landed his own talk show gig at Netflix. The streaming service has committed to a 32 episode order, which makes Minhaj the first Indian-American host of a weekly comedy talk show. According to Netflix, the comedy show will “explore the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity. Each week, Minhaj will bring his unique comedic voice and storytelling skill to investigate the larger trends shaping our fragmented world.”
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Netflix family as the country braces for another election season. And like you, I cannot wait to find out who Putin picks this time,” said Minhaj. I haven’t watched The Daily Show since Jon Stewart left, so I’m not very familiar with Minhaj’s work. But the world needs more comedy from more voices right now, so I’ll be checking out his show when it arrives.
