About this episode
As late-night television falls from the cultural relevance and political influence it once enjoyed, Ben uses the recent controversy surrounding comedian Hasan Minaj's bending of the truth to highlight where comedy can once again regain its stride. Plus, he explains how the newly anointed host of 'After Midnight', Taylor Tomlinson has done so well in a comedic world that values identity politics over humor.
