Minhaj's approach to comedy relies on his experiences as an Asian American and Muslim American, intertwining personal stories with humor, which has profoundly resonated with fans.
Minhaj explained, "Every story in my style is built around a seed of truth. My comedy Arnold Palmer is seventy percent emotional truth - this happened - and then thirty percent hyperbole, exaggeration, fiction."
Filmmaker Assia Boundaoui remarked, "Minhaj was one of the first Muslim comedians who unapologetically talked about being the target of surveillance on a national platform," highlighting the significance of representation.
The controversy surrounding Minhaj raises important concerns about the implications of storytelling, as Boundaoui stated, "the damage done by his lies will be borne not by Minhaj alone, but by the 3.5 million Muslims in this country."
