You are so funny. - Thank you.

- And I cannot believe this because

you really were just a stand-up.

You had only been on television a couple of times.

- Yeah, I guess in the U.S. I had only done,

like, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

I had done "The Late Show" with Letterman,

so doing "The Daily Show" has been a mind-blowing experience.

- Well, you're doing a great job.

- Thank you. - You're really doing

a great job. - Thank you.

- 'Cause that's a tough thing to follow Jon.

I, for the first time, went to South Africa last summer.

- Yes. - I went on a safari

in South Africa and Cape Town.

But what a way to grow up because--

tell everyone your story growing up.

It's really amazing.

- It's weird 'cause when people say that,

I think I grew up normally.

And then I go home to visit my grandmother

and then I remember we had an outdoor toilet.

And then I'm, like, "Oh, yeah.

Seemed like a lot more fun when I was a kid."

- Yeah. - But it was

It was just like a normal thing.

Like I grew up in a world--

'cause I think because everyone is poor,

you don't feel as poor. - Uh-huh.

'Cause there's no one who's like, "Ha-ha, you're poor."

'Cause, like, everyone is just-- 'cause they're like,

"Yeah, so are you," and then it's like, "Ah."

You know what I mean? There's no--

yeah, there's no--there's no-- there's no feeling.

So, and everyone's laughing

and everyone's having a great time.

I'm sure you felt it. Even in the midst of poverty,

laughter is the one thing that elevates people, so...

- Yeah, but to grow up during apartheid,

because your dad's white, right? - Yes.

- And your mom's black? - My mom is black, yeah.

- So, I mean, and that was a really tough time for you.

- For them, not for me.

- Well, also for you because your mother--

when you were walking down the street, there was, like--

- Yeah, but I didn't know it. I honestly thought--

so my mom couldn't hold my hand in public.

So I just thought this is what, like, moms do.

I didn't know--I had no other references to other moms,

so I wasn't like, "Why is she not holding my hand?"

I was just like, "She's independent, she's cool."

Just--that's what she does, you know?

So, you don't--I always say I grew up in a great time

because I appreciate what happened.

I appreciate how democracy changed our lives.

But I wasn't in apartheid for so long

that I can't say it truly affected me negatively.

I think my parents had a tougher time.

My mom was arrested for being with my dad on many occasions,

so she--she got it the worst. - Yeah.

- I was having a great time. - Well, it's amazing.

And really, I think that a lot of adversity

and a lot of--and you say you didn't struggle,

but it's an interesting place to grow up,

and I think it forms us as comedians...

- Yes. - Because we look at the world,

and we have to have something to laugh at.

We have to find things that make us happy.

- Well, jokes are free. - Yeah.

That's the--well, not my-- like, don't--

Pay at the shows if you come to the shows.

I'm not saying-- don't use this against me.

You are a huge fan of roller coasters, I understand.

- I am. - And they get me on them.

I'm not, like, I don't seek them out,

but when I'm near one, I'll get on a roller coaster,

but you actually enjoy it. - I love them so much.

-Yeah. I have something for you.

The next time--see, there I am about to go.

- That does look funny. - Yes.

-I'm not gonna lie, that does look funny.

-And that's just starting. We hadn't even--

I don't think we had taken off yet.

But I have something for you

the next time you go on a roller coaster.

Andy, bring it out. You can film yourself.

You wear this, you have-- - Oh, wow.

Look in the front of it. It has--

you have a GoPro here, here,

and when-- so when you're on it--

-Am I allowed to wear this on a roller coaster?

I think so, yeah.

Can we get his--
