Hasan Minhaj was a frontrunner for the "Daily Show" hosting gig after Trevor Noah left. In the wake of a New Yorker story that fact-checked his stand-up, Minhaj didn't get the job. He joked that his not getting the gig paved the way for Jon Stewart to bring back the show's ratings. Minhaj joked that losing the gig paved the way for the late-night show's resurgence, according to Variety. Onstage at the comedy festival Thursday, Minhaj bantered with "The Daily Show" correspondent Ronny Chieng about losing the job.

CNN —At one point during Mike Birbiglia’s new Broadway show, “The Old Man and The Pool,” he jokingly scolds the audience for laughing over a story about the death of a man in a YMCA pool. One after another, someone’s howl becomes contagious, and the laughter keeps going for several minutes as Birbiglia watches. “The Old Man and the Pool” has been in Birbiglia’s mind in some version for about six years now. I think at the time it was called ‘The YMCA Pool.’ And then we were shut down. “There’s no answer to any of it.”“The Old Man and The Pool” is currently playing at Lincoln Center in New York City.
