Fellow comedian Whoopi Goldberg defended Hasan Minhaj's embellished comedy that was exposed in a New Yorker profile last week. The profile brought to light that Minhaj conjured up lies surrounding some true or some completely false stories for his Netflix stand-up specials. He called the fictional stories "emotional truths."
But Goldberg defended Minhaj's fabrications during Monday's broadcast of "The View." The moderator and co-host said "that's what [comedians] do, we tell stories and we embellish them."
