Minhaj will become the first Indian-American to host a weekly comedy show as a result of Netflix's 32-episode order. Minhaj is in the midst of a breakout year, including hosting a Trump-less White House Correspondents' Diner in 2017 as well as his own Netflix comedy special, Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King. The Daily Show recently lost correspondent Michelle Wolf to another weekly Netflix comedy show.
