Another Daily Show Correspondent Is Moving To Netflix

THR reports that Hasan Minhaj is believed to have produced the pilot for his presently untitled series, which resulted in a bidding war between a few outlets. Comedy Central was one of the networks trying to snag the series, but was ultimately outbid by Netflix. The streaming service presently has his stand-up special, Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King, in its lineup. Netflix's acquisition of Minhaj's series was widely heralded by the platform's VP of Content Bela Bajaria who credited the comic's "thoughtful voice and unique perspective," as one of the reasons the streaming service was so eager to have him.
