Hasan Minhaj Dings Deadline, Roasts IFC For Airing Will Ferrell's 'Semi-Pro' Instead Of Spirit Awards In Opening Monologue
“All my standup stories are based on events that happened to me. Yes, I was rejected from going to prom because of my race. Yes, a letter with powder was sent to my apartment that almost harmed my daughter. Yes, I had an interaction with law enforcement during the war on terror. Yes, I had varicocele repair surgery so we could get pregnant. Yes, I roasted Jared Kushner to his face,” Minhaj said in a statement.
During the interview, Minhaj admitted that his daughter had never been exposed to a white powder, and that she hadn’t been hospitalized. He said he had opened up a letter delivered to his apartment that contained some sort of powder and he joked to his wife, saying, “Holy shit. What if this was anthrax?”about an FBI informant who infiltrated his family’s mosque in the Sacramento area in 2002 when Minhaj was a junior in high school.
While admitting the stories were fiction, Minhaj said they were based on “emotional truth,” adding “The punch line is worth the fictionalized premise.”
