Hasan Minhaj’s “Emotional Truths” (narwhal.city)

As a fan of his show, this is a shame. Patriot Act was the best thing in late night over the past ten years, and while this doesn't diminish how good it is as entertainment, it does decrease his credibility, and people will take him less seriously now.
