This week, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know from Lemonada Media. Hosted by comedian Hasan Minhaj (from The Daily Show and Patriot Act), he sits down with some of the biggest names in politics, culture, and tech.

Hasan asks the tough questions, some thought-provoking, some straight-up absurd—but all of them come from a real place of curiosity. Every episode is tailored to the guest, their story, their vibe. So if you're out here trying to make sense of the world and find answers—come hang and find out. Because at the end of the day, Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know!

We’re going to play you a little sneak peek of the first episode, featuring legendary TV weirdo Rainn Wilson, about spirituality, ambition, and atheists. Featuring the WORLD PREMIERE of his lyrics to The Office theme song.
