Has the Daily Show lost its leading candidate?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The leading candidate to replace Trevor Noah on The Daily Show gets called out by former staffers and insiders, many of whom share their blunt thoughts. In August, it was reported that former Daily Show correspondent and host of the Netflix show Patriot Act Hasan Minhaj was in the running to take over the role from Noah.
“To me, what went on disqualifies him from that particular role. And not from many, many other things in entertainment. Not stand-up, by the way, not that. But for me, this particular hosting job, it should disqualify him.” The Hasan Minhaj Controversy, Explained The controversy quickly garnered headlines when The New Yorker published an article in its September 2023 issue detailing Minhaj's stand-up fabrications. One of the main examples cited in the article by journalist Clare Malone was that Minhaj fabricated a story about being in a relationship with a White girl in high school and experiencing racism from that girl's parents. Minhaj was never in a romantic relationship with her, however.
