Hasan Minhaj: ‘The King’s Jester’

<p>Hasan Minhaj has had a very busy five years between the release of his first big stand-up special ‘Homecoming King’ in 2017 and the premiere this week of his new hour The King’s Jester on Netflix. The former ‘Daily Show’ correspondent roasted Trump in absentia at the White House Correspondents Dinner, launched and ended his weekly Netflix series ‘Patriot Act’ and found himself in the crosshairs of the Saudis for his unflinching criticism of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. All of it and more form the heart of his new special, which Minhaj discusses at length in this episode. The comedian also opens up about the moment he realized he may have crossed a line with his comedy, reveals an elaborate prank he pitched to Nathan Fielder, addresses the accusations of a toxic work environment at ‘Patriot Act’ and a lot more.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Follow Hasan Minhaj on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/hasanminhaj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hasanminhaj</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hasanminhaj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hasanminhaj</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/franchise/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
