In February 2019, two months after Hasan Minhaj questioned Saudi Arabia’s role in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and criticized Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in an October (2018) episode, Netflix removed the episode from the streaming service in Saudi Arabia after receiving a “valid legal request”; the episode reportedly broke an anti-cybercrime law in the Middle Eastern country barring the “production, preparation, transmission, or storage of material impinging on public order, religious values, public morals, and privacy, through the information network or computers.” Hasan Minhaj opens the segement by making his feelings clear, stating, “Of all the Netflix originals, the only show that Saudi Arabia thinks violates ‘Muslim values’ is the one hosted by a Muslim.”

Hasan Minhaj has continued producing controversial topics, like the Indian elections in Spring of 2019. In March 2019, Hasan Minhaj analyzed the Indian elections and Narendra Modi for the global audience; and some people took to Twitter, claiming that his research is biased and demanding people #BoyCottNetflix because they aren't pleased with the episode.
