In the past year, the world has been, if not hostile to Minhaj, then certainly harsh. His wife, parents, and sister played a significant part in helping him through it. "I really do believe, no matter how bad things get, there is this beautiful collective spirit, all we have is each other," he says. "You can always come home, no matter what happens. I'm not kidding. I could ostensibly move in [to my parents' house] with my wife and kids." Sometimes he feels he disappointed them. Although he won't go so far as to say that the public scrutiny and losing the Daily Show opportunity threatened everything that he built—his career, his idyllic personal life—it seems clear to me that the experience did strain it. |
