Hasan Minhaj's talk show

In a brief tweet, Hasan Minhaj wrote, "What a run. @patriotact has come to an end. I got to work with the best writers, producers, researchers, and animators in the game. My 2 babies were born and grew up with the show. TY to @Netflix and everyone who watched. Now it's time to return these screens to Best Buy". Along with the tweet, he also shared a photo, featuring him on the set of the show.

The comedy news show delved deep into big news topics from all over the world, as well as issues surrounding south Asian identity. Minhaj earned praise for his candour on mental health and other subjects that are often stigmatised in South Asian cultures and communities. In June, after the tragic death of Geroge Floyd, he urged Asian Americans to confront the history of anti-Blackness in their families and communities, as part of the societal reckoning over race.

The streaming giant has not commented anything on cancelling the comedy show, which has bagged an Emmy, a Peabody Award, and two Webby Awards. The show, which started in October 2018, premiered 40 episodes divided into six seasons. In recent times, Netflix has cancelled several other comedy and talk shows, including Chelsea Handler’s Chelsea, Michelle Wolf’s The Break and The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale.
