Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj

Jamie Says

Netflix weirdly cancelled this news program before it had even hit its stride. Any show that prompts Saudi Arabia to cancel your platform is doing something right.

Synopsis

“The Daily Show” alumnus Hasan Minhaj gets the spotlight to himself — and his name in the title — on this Netflix original series. The Peabody Award-winning comic explores the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity. In each weekly episode, he uses his unique comedic voice and storytelling skill to investigate the larger trends shaping the fragmented world. According to Netflix, Minhaj — who also serves as an executive producer — is the first Indian-American host of a weekly comedy show.
