Thats our job, a seed of truth, Goldberg said.
Sometimes truth and sometimes total BS.

“The revelation earned Minhaj plenty of online backlash, which Goldberg believes is undeserved.
“That’s what we do, we tell stories and we embellish them.”
It ain’t that interesting.”
In Minhaj’s case, there was no alter ego involved.
What if this was anthrax?"
Sometimes truth and sometimes total BS."
Minhaj has made it clear that he stands by his work, which he likened to a mixed drink.
He later reaffirmed this stance in a statement to EW.
“All my stand-up stories are based on events that happened to me,” Minhaj said.
That’s inherent to the art form.
You wouldn’t go to a haunted house and say, ‘Why are these people lying to me?’
The point is the ride.
Stand-up is the same."
