  • You know, when I...

  • when I starting hosting The Daily Show,

  • my dream was to learn how to read.

  • -No, uh, my dream... -(laughter)

  • was to reach people all around the world.

  • You know, I wanted this show to have a reach-around,

  • which is a phrase I invented but did not google.

  • -Well... -(laughter)

  • on Monday, my dream came true in a big way

  • when China's state TV network

  • broadcast a portion of a segment that we did

  • about the Chinese telecom company Huawei.

  • China, baby!

  • -(cheering, applause) -What?!

  • China!

  • Huh?

  • Biggest demographic in the world,

  • and The Daily Show just broke through.

  • Even better, 1.3 billion people

  • just heard the state news say

  • I was famous. Yeah.

  • -(cheering) -You saw that? I'm, like, famous.

  • And, I mean...

  • obviously, that's true, I am famous.

  • I mean, here's a picture of me with Beyoncé. Yeah?

  • Uh, if you zoom in, like, I'm in, like, the row...

  • you'll see-- I'm-I'm famous, that's all I'm saying.

  • But this was a really cool thing,

  • so for more on this amazing achievement,

  • we're joined now to celebrate

  • with The Daily Show's own Roy Wood Jr., everybody!

  • -(cheering, applause) -What up, Roy?

  • What up, Roy?

  • -Oh, man! -Hey. What's going on?

  • Isn't this amazing, dude?

  • Our segment played all over China.

  • -Did you see that? -Oh. I'll tell you what I saw, Trevor

  • I saw you use this platform to spread Chinese propaganda!

  • Is Trevor even your real name?

  • Or should I call you by your spy name,

  • -African Panda? -(laughter)

  • No, Roy, what are you talking about?

  • No, you-you can't watch one segment

  • that China decided to rebroadcast,

  • then claim that I'm working for a foreign power.

  • -What are you talking about? -One segment? Really, Trevor?

  • You might fool all these sheeple in here,

  • but I've done my research, and I found that you've been using

  • The Daily Show to spread propaganda around the world.

  • China's just the tip of the iceberg.

  • Here's where you teamed up with North Korean state television.

  • If you ask me, I'm excited for this Korean invasion.

  • The jig is up, Panda. The jig's up.

  • -No, no, no. -You're a spy!

  • -No, no, no, no. No, no, come on. -He is a spy!

  • -No, come on, come on. Come on. -Spy!

  • None of that... none of that is true.

  • Oh, so you're denying having cute dimples?

  • Okay, that part is true.

  • But... but the line was taken out of context.

  • When I said "Korean invasion,"

  • I was talking about the Korean boy band BTS, right?

  • I'm happy that their music is invading America.

  • -I'm not a spy. -But you're still a traitor

  • who pledges allegiance to the Russians!

  • Roll the clip!

  • I, Trevor Noah,

  • pledge my life to Mother Russia

  • and the glorious Communist Revolution1

  • (laughter)

  • Care to explain?

  • Okay, that-that last one was real.

  • I was, um... I was going through a phase.

  • I fell in love with a Russian bot on Twitter,

  • and then things... things got out of hand.

  • -I knew it. I knew it. -But I'm-I'm not a spy. It's just...

  • Hello, 911?

  • Yeah, I'd like to report a traitor.

  • What's that, you want me to call the FBI?

  • Hell, I'm not calling the FBI. I got parking tickets.

  • Just send over Jason Bourne.

  • You got a five-minute head start.

You know, when I...
