In 2019, he was listed in Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. After working as a stand-up comedian and appearing in minor television roles, Minhaj came to prominence for his work on The Daily Show as its senior correspondent from 2014 to 2018. He was the featured speaker at the 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. His first stand-up comedy special, Homecoming King, released on Netflix in May 2017, received positive reviews from critics and won him his first Peabody Award in 2018.

In September 2023, The New Yorker detailed instances of Minhaj fabricating or embellishing stories that were used in his comedy specials and repeated in interviews. Minhaj responded to the reporting, suggesting it was taken out of context, and providing the surrounding context to the interview snippets in a YouTube interview. (Via Wikipedia)
