Hasan Minhaj

Hasan Minhaj is set to make his HIGNFY debut this Saturday alongside fellow guest Sen. Adam Schiff. Minhaj and host Roy Wood worked side-by-side at The Daily Show from 2015-2018.

In a new interview with Esquire, Hasan Minhaj officially confirms what most people already knew: He was set to succeed Trevor Noah as host of The Daily Show—”we were pretty much good to go.” Then he talked to The New Yorker about “emotional truths” and it all went away. “That’s part of showbiz,” he says.
