What?

Why?

There's no good memories.

This is not the bum.

This is trash.

Hey, what's going on?

Everybody.

For first, we feast on Shaun Evans and you're watching hot ones.

It's the show with hard questions and even hotter wings.

And today we're joined by Trevor Noah.

He's the host of the Emmy Award winning The Daily Show on Comedy Central is also written.

A New York Times best seller, It's called Born a Crime.

Stories From a South African Childhood.

Trevor Noah.

Welcome to the Show.

Thank you very much for having me.

You once tweeted that starting your day with chicken wings is like pouring Parra Finn into a Ferrari.

So I take it you can handle your heat.

Man.

I don't even know why I'm here, To be honest with you, I love chicken wings.

I like hot food, but when it's a competition, that's never a good idea.

Any hot food eating endeavor I've gone on has ended very badly.

So this is this is just us beginning.

This is just our baby steps.

Okay?

I think the beginning It's nice.

Just my tingles, the tip of your tongue, you know, So when we had Charlie's there and I'm the show.

She gave us a crash course in Afrikaans and taught me how to say Yo, Ma, suppose somebody okay?

Wow.

All right.

A somebody speaks seven languages themselves.

Can you give me a Zulu phrase that I can incorporate into my everyday life?

You choose for your show in Colombia, Gillom.

Billy.

Yeah, which means I'm hungry.

You need that all the time.

Which South African delicacy do you think deserves more?

Shine?

Slap chips Bunny chow are built on Bill tone.

I think Bull Tong deserves a lot more shine because like, here's the thing.

Bunny chow.

I've seen versions off in the world.

You know, People take bread.

Put a bit of curry inside of it.

I've seen some version of that slop chips means just like how you, you know, it's not french fries.

It's just bigger portions of potato that have been cooked, you know.

But Bill Tung is amazing, man.

It's like a room when I came to America and someone was like, Have you tried jerky and trash turkeys trash?

I don't care who you are.

The jerky is trash.

It's got a whole bunch of sodium and what nots and like sugar And why you sugar in your meat?

What, like what is this?

Where is Bill Tung is just spiced dried meat.

It is the most delicious thing you've ever eaten.

If you get it right, I guess the name is what Bill Tung, right?

It does not a sexy name, you know?

I mean, like, if you'll feel girlfriend said to you tonight, me, you build tongue would be like I got plans.

You see?

See?

It's branding.

That's the problem.

Much flavor.

Taste the pineapple.

So you're the self described roller coaster whore who dreams of touring the best thrill rides in America.

What's been your most heroin amusement park experience?

I went and I rode Harry Potter out.

Universal.

I think it is.

I love roller coasters and the Harry Potter rides on the best, and the ride stopped in the middle.

And first it's like, Oh, this is part of the right.

It's crazy that I was like, No, no, it's not something's wrong.

Yeah, and then you just hang there and then you know what?

What happens now?

You're like on a plane.

They tell you.

Hey, if shit goes down, something's gonna fall.

You're gonna do a thing.

You put your head down and you know Yeah, they don't tell you anything before roller coasters go have fun.

Be this be this tall and have fun.

How was it resolved like that?

Somebody get on the ladder.

Impressive.

Butner didn't just start moving it After a while it started moving.

And I was with a friend of mine who is terrified of any car or right.

And his screams made me afraid, because at first light we'll be fine.

And he was like, I was like, We're gonna die like you got a contact.

You know, it's like in a horror movies.

I feel like half of the fear is the person who's screaming Now if everyone would just come like we might die, I get through it.

But the contact fear is what terrifies me.

Let's see Shaq, Wanda.

It hits the sides of your tongue.

Radio nice.

Me like in the sauce is so far it seems Yeah, it's going okay, flavor.

I'm still on the classic.

I mean, that's winning for me right now.

We'll take it.

So since taking over on the daily show.

There's been a massive explosion in the number of programs that have political commentary in San Tire at their core.

Do you think that this snowballing of political punditry is helping us to think more clearly?

B'more informed?

Or do you think it might be having the opposite effect?

Well, it's interesting.

I think it's good.

You know, I think it's good to have a CZ many shows as possible, especially shows that cater to young people.

You know, for so long, people have made it seem like politics is what you do when you're old.

But politics affects your entire life.

In fact, I feel like it should be the other way around if you like.

Old people should be like I don't care.

I'm almost done.

It's weird to me that, like super old people like, I'm gonna vote and change this world that I'm leaving soon.

Why?

Why would you care if I was told I would not give a shit?

I'll be on roller coasters going crazy.

Did Jon Stewart give you any advice for how to avoid becoming that old angry man screaming at the clouds?

Oh, no, He said it was gonna happen John said.

I'm leaving because I'm old and angry and you're young and happy.

So enjoy it while it lasts.

That was his advice.

His advice was just like, You don't try and enjoy it for as long as you can.

Don't Don't let the anger be overriding emotion.

You want people to tune in so that they're not angry anymore by the end of the show, and that's what I try and do.

One unintended consequence, I think, is that there are a lot of super funny comedians who seem less interested in doing the lighthearted entertainment that they used to write.

Do you think that that's sad in a way, or is it naive to expect anything different?

I think people forget that comedians are human beings were living in the world, you know.

So Jim Gaffigan, super funny guy doesn't like talking about politics, but at some point he's gonna be like, Yo, I got to say something.

Ricky Gervase, Another person hates talking about politics, but at some point, even he was like Guys, we're gonna act like it's not happening.

So I get why some people be like, Oh, my favorite comedians started talking about politics is like, Yeah, but maybe it's because the politics has started affecting your favorite comedian.

That's probably what it is, you know.

What kind of name is that?

You're lucky Dog.

Year of the Dog.

Hi, Chilling.

Don't think tires ever spicy.

It's got a nice it dances on your tongue nicely.

That's my favorite spicy food, the one that dances on your tongue.

You just want, like like, you know, like Fred Astaire is dancing across your tongue.

Good, good bye.

Somebody had Bill Burr on the show.

He said that doing stand up in New York is like performing at a women's college, and I'm just curious from your perspective.

Do you find that audiences in the U.

S.

Or any more or less sensitive than the ones that you encounter internationally ours.

I find it just care about different things.

I find it depends where you go, You know, I've I've I've gotten rid of like categorizing America as one giant, you know, one monitor list.

When I came here, I had those ideas I've realized Now America is basically 50 countries masquerading as one, even in New York, like going from like Long Island to Brooklyn audiences are completely different.

I would say this with comedy.

Everyone thinks the joke is funny until it's a joke about them, Right?

That's pretty much what is.

You know, it's like caught ones.

Everyone's like hand.

That's cool until they're the one eating the food.

Like Theo.

Cool, man.

Cool loss, Callie.

And I'm always hesitant to say how hard I'm not something as sometimes it sneaks up on you.

That's a guy who's been around hot food before.

That's a veteran.

Take right there.

I drove her away.

Every currents, like men on our show called Explain that Graham Murray do a deep dive on our guest.

Instagram pull interesting pictures that need more contacts.

All crossed up the laptop.

I'll show you the picture.

You just tell me the bigger story.

Does that sound to you?

All right.

Laptop, please.

This is just for my instagram.

No, my point.

Hubble come right.

You know, just from your instagrams.

Okay, But I did check that out.

This is you at the Met Gala with Chrissy Teagan and John Budget.

So that picture was actually one of my favorite moments because I had just gotten to America.

Really like for the Daily Show.

And this was like one of my first public outings.

I had no clue what this was.

All who these people were.

You're just like you're just seeing all the celebrities.

Can people always think that you should become a celebrity overnight?

No.

Read all these levels levels.

So you walk into a place, and then if you see Rihanna, you sound like you're like, Hey, Ri, how you doing, girl?

No, no, you don't.

And so when I was leaving the event afterwards, John Legend and Chrissy Tick and sold me.

And then, like, I think it was Christy.

She was like, Hey, you got taking over the Daily Show and I was like, Yeah, and she's like, Don't fuck it up.

I was like, Uh, okay, She's like, No, I'm kidding.

Come over here.

You got friends like No, I don't have friends that I mean, I do, but not at Ah, the Mick.

She's like, Come on, come on, hang out with us.

How you guys doing?

They're the nicest people know about.

John and Christie are just like the nicest celebrities you will ever, ever meet in your life.

So that's what that picture was.

Speaking of epic nights, that's Ah Lewis Hamilton's world championship trophy E.

I think that was in Austin.

But it's a friend of mine is a world championship Formula One racing driver and really one of the best we've seen in a generation.

Amazing driver in the wet, which is really hard to do, especially in Formula One.

He was he was racing in Austin.

He was like, Hey, you wanna come check out the race?

Hopefully, I'll win the championship.

And I was like, Okay, I'll come.

And so I went and he won.

And then when we went down to congratulate him, they were like, Yo, you wanna hold the trophy?

I was like, Yeah, of course I wanna hold the trophy.

You trust me with the trophy like, Yeah, we trust you with the trophy and now they don't know where the trophy is.

Detroit.

Hellfire, I would say This is This is my my favorite like all round flavor over heart source, you know.

So far it has like a beautiful body to it.

It accentuates the chicken.

That's a nice place that's really could.

So the title of your book born a crime refers to the fact that as somebody who had a black mother and white father that you were representing a crime that could have been punishable by up to five years in prison.

Right.

You've made an interesting point about how, in some ways you prefer the racism in South Africa compared to the racism in the United States, Right?

How do you own package that for someone who thinks that all racism is the same?

Well, you know what?

You've got to think of it like this.
