Hasan Minhaj Thinks "The Lion King" Is a Documentary

Believe it or not, LA-based standup comic (and Stand Up Planet host) Hasan Minhaj hadn't gotten a lot of facetime with lions and hyenas before his trip to South Africa. What happens when you go on a safari and all you know about the savannah you learned from a Disney movie? Check out the clip below to hear Hasan's hilarious reaction to seeing his first parrot.

Stand Up Planet showcases an uprising of fresh and fearless comics around globe, changing the world one joke at a time.  Equal parts reality TV, documentary journey and travelogue, Stand Up Planet brings viewers on a quest to find the best humor coming from far corners of the developing world.  Hosted by L.A.-based comic, Hasan Minhaj (Arrested Development, MTV's Failosophy) and featuring stand up comics Nate Bargatze, James Adomian and Michelle Buteau, Minhaj invites two comics from India and South Africa to perform in Hollywood for a television special.  Along the way they meet comedy legends:  Bill Cosby, Carl Reiner and producer, Norman Lear.
