By D.J. Rivera
Wondering if there’s a new episode of Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj airing on Netflix tonight, March 29? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
For those who rely on Patriot Act to provide them with the nuance necessary to survive this crazy world, the news is not ideal. The series hosted by Hasan Minhaj will not be airing the new episode that was scheduled to release, and new installments may be on hiatus for the foreseeable future.
The current affairs and topical comedy program starring the former Daily Show correspondent is the first title from the streaming giant Netflix to have its premiere affected by the growing concerns over the coronavirus. In order to help stop the spread of COVID-19, the production of Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj will be put on hold. The host took to Twitter to explain to his loyal fans the unfortunate update.
For those concerned that this may be the end of Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj, everyone can relax because that is not the case. Hasan has reassured everyone in his message that they will eventually return. He also told his followers that he will continue to post videos and that viewers should not hesitate to post their questions for Deep Cuts, a video series related to the show that airs on YouTube.
While this isn’t the best news, it is good to know everyone from Patriot Act is safe social distancing with their loved ones. And it’s great to know that Hasan is doing well even if he is wearing some really funky Crocs. Other similar acts have followed this same trend with Trevor Noah from the Daily Show hosting the Comedy Central program from his couch. Fans may be displeased, but it’s nice to see these big shows taking the appropriate actions in these trouble times.
