Comedian Hasan Minhaj has admitted to fabricating details in some of his stand-up comedy stories, including incidents involving racism and bigotry towards his Muslim heritage. He acknowledged that around 70% of his stories are based on emotional truth, while the remaining 30% consists of hyperbole and fiction. Examples of embellished stories include his daughter being rushed to the hospital due to an envelope with white powder, being rejected from a school dance because of his race, and an FBI informant infiltrating his community mosque. Minhaj defended his approach, comparing it to a haunted house ride where the point is entertainment rather than factual accuracy.
