Hasan Minhaj questioned over act's honesty
Hasan Minhaj's act often includes experiences he says he's faced as an Asian American and Muslim American, but the comedian tells the New Yorker many of those stories either didn't happen to him or were embellished. Clare Malone, the staff writer for the New Yorker who spoke with Minhaj, joined CBS News to discuss the situation.
