In 2019, after the Indian government revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status, Minhaj had shared a clip from an upcoming episode of his show expressing solidarity with the people of the erstwhile state.

"As India celebrates its independence, let's think about the people who don't seem to have any right now," he had said.

The first season of the show debuted on Netflix in October 2018 to glowing reviews from the critics. Subsequently, the streamer released five more seasons.
