Whoopi Goldberg Defends Hasan Minhaj's Use of Embellishment in Stand-Up Routines

Hasan Minhaj recently admitted to embellishing details in his stand-up routines.
Whoopi Goldberg came to Minhaj's defense, saying exaggeration is common in comedy.
Minhaj says his stories are grounded in truth, but uses tools like hyperbole and changing details.
Goldberg argues that comedians embellish stories to make them more entertaining, not to be factually accurate.
The debate centers around whether embellishment in stand-up comedy is ethical and how it impacts the artform.
