Chat shows have always been a challenging task for the streaming giants to continue for more seasons. In the fight between viewership vs cost of production, Netflix always goes with the former option.
Hasan Minhaj recently opened up about continuing Patriot Act on Netflix in an interview with Variety. He said, “It allowed me to break out of the cognitive framework of being in the late-night world with multiple Jimmy’s because I was not speaking to the North American audience anymore, I’m speaking to the world,” he said. “When I’m doing a piece about the elections in the Philippines, or censorship in China, or Indian elections, or Saudi Arabia — there are more people outside of the continental United States that know about that stuff, then people here in the States, know about those issues.”
