The Daily Show with Trevor Noah airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

[@ladidadida2712]

Standing behind the microphone makes him a tough guy? What the fuck are you literally doing Trump?!?!?

[@Vazzalmighty]

Trump has zero self awareness.

[@BijouxZhero]

Haha I was thinking the same thing

[@stalk8r]

He has tremendous self awareness, he is doing well with self awareness, all the people say so. Nobody has better self awareness than him. All true folks.

This. This is why Trevor Noah is the new host of the Daily Show. Now I know that he doesn't write all of the material himself, but I'm pretty sure he has an input on where to focus with the content, just like Jon Stewart kept his knives sharpened for Fox News. And this message of pulling your own head out of your own ass and getting out of your own comfort zone, which he even stresses goes for BOTH parties, is just as important for today as it was back then to expose the lies of Fox News. Now, can those that STILL hate Trevor Noah, as either "the new guy" or as an "unoriginal hack", please shut up?

[@Sevenfold120]

Nobody said anything about Trevor here.

[@aszhara2900]

I gained respect for Trevor, no doubt. But still, isn't this segment a little bit hypocritical. Just a little bit.

[@Ethan-yk3hi]

That awkward moment when the Daily Show is more balanced than actual news programs.

[@krombopulos_michael]

Ethan Malloy don't kid yourself. It's not balanced. I mean it doesn't have to be, and I love it the way it is, but there's nothing balanced about this show. Don't get sucked into your own biases.

[@Ethan-yk3hi]

Krombopulos Michael Dude, I just meant this one video being balanced, not the Daily Show as a whole

[@meaadh9163]

I almost don't want this election to end...Trevor Noah is killing it with this election coverage. He has finally come into his own.

[@kudacg1389]

haha ikr.

[@williamedward1666]

I agree, but at the same time, I think being able to cover something besides the election would be good for him. Give him softer targets so he can recuperate from this trial by fire.

[@TheTanyajocool]

Denise H he's brilliant!

[@Ookler]

ye, hope he can keep up this level when the elections are finally over, tho. I am sick and tired of biased and blind republic or liberal supporters hating on everything that does not further their agenda...

[@davemathewsrocks]

Haha - agree fully. Lets postpone the elections - say till November 28th? What say?

[@sampsonraysimon]

His delivery is just getting funnier and funnier.

[@TheThing88]

Yeah, people have been tearing him down because he's not as funny as Jon Stewart but they forget that Stewart had a decade of experience behind him before he left. Check out Stewart's early Daily Show stuff, it's not nearly as funny - Trevor Noah's getting better and I don't doubt he'll continue to do so.

[@MrsAlexisAgnew2019]

Sampson Simon He seems to be channeling his inner Stewart and John Oliver in this bit. He's picked an incredibly important and relevant topic, and he doesn't shy away from seriousness when the situation demands it. I agree, he keeps getting better and better.

[@stevegarcia3731]

I totally have noticed, too. A slow start, but he is in full swing now... I love the black son take.... ahhhh fuck yeahhhh...ROFLMAO ...and the newt as swollen testicle one.. . . . Priceless

[@triciebird]

He definitely seemed nervous when he started. But I'm enjoying him. My favorite segments though have been his take on the media. This video and another where he played whole clips of what the candidate actually said and what the media reported they said. It was actually enlightening.

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

I was really disappointed with his performance when he first took over, and I quit watching. I saw a clip recently though, and I have to say he has really come into his own.

[@ashmitanandy]

[@shasty6928]

Michael Defreece nope, trump would totally kick bidens ass

[@NathanSynth]

If you've seen a lot of Trevor's stand up, you'll notice he's made fun of liberals just as much as he did conservatives. If you believe that Trevor is bent against conservatives, you gotta understand that Comedy Central in general favors a younger, more liberal audience so the producers of the show, from a business standpoint, have an obligation to cater to that audience although any political info is fair game. From this episode you can catch a glimpse of Trevor trying to even the field by criticizing the left and the right for both falling victim to one-sided social media propaganda. Kudos to Trevor!

[@donnale3881]

I was heartbroken when Jon Stewart retired, but his pick of Trevor was perfect, he's a brilliantly funny man, and cute as can be!

[@MindYourOwn777]

Exactly

[@Ludwig_Perpenhente]

[@janelin6083]

"Photosynthesis?" Trump would never use a word with that many syllables. He doesn't know any, and it'll confuse and alienate his base.

[@MsGrapeNehi]

I wonder if he even knows what photosynthesis is.

[@ViroVV]

Are you kidding? Its questionable Trump would have been able to handle a word as complex as Dragons

[@Atombender]

He has the best words!

[@pandapanda8354]

Jane Lin I disagree. Photosynthesis is not a word, but a phrase. "Ignore those gropey *photos since this is* a HUGE conspiracy clearly edited by the lying leftist media to smear my image with the bias and the lies and, believe me, Crooked Hillary is behind these negative photos of me. Big League! Such a nasty woman!" See. Not one word but a phrase that only appears to be one word.

[@janelin6083]

***** Trump IS an idiot. That's NO joke. He knows about 200 words, and 20 of them are synonyms for "large." Trump supporters just can't tell how stupid he is because as stupid as he is, he's smarter than they are.

I'm really glad he talked about how differently the two sides see that Kelly thing. It struck me as VERY polarized (I saw both of them, Kelly owns Newt or Newt owns Kelly)

[@superneko99]

Aura WolfMoon it's esprcially weird cause Kelly is usually pretty right wing

[@Infernoraptor]

Agreed. I was surprised at how calm and collected she was during the whole thing. Heck, it takes some serious bal.... I mean guts, to tell a high-ranking politician that they have anger issues.

[@eveoleson5160]

I feel like Kelly is right wing for sure but she's on the non-crazy side of it, which is estranging her for all the big names on the right.

[@janicejanostak2545]

Hearing Newt Gingrich of all people complain about "false" and inflammatory language was something to behold. (Pot, meet kettle.) The man looked triggered, as the kids say. I'm not a fan of Kelly but she's been killing it lately. I never thought I'd see the day when Fox News looked relatively moderate in comparison.

[@charliemilroy6497]

[@holdencovington151]

You know, while nobody will ever replace Jon Stewart, this segment convinced me that Trevor Noah knows exactly what he's doing. While his personal biases are certainly present, he points out a very real problem with the way news is reported today. Good job, Trevor. I hope your material stays at this level

why does trump say "bigly" when he knows it's not a word. drives me crazy.

I'm not trying to be mean and I agree that it's annoying but it's a word and you should probably delete the comment lest assholes get riled Sorry

[@ninkindy1072]

Christina Fitzgerald His representatives insist that what he is saying is "big league." I've seen speech pathology experts who have actually examined his words and they agree that he is saying "big league" but swallows the final letters. That being said, why does he continue to say it without enunciating more clearly? Ah well, the ways of the rich and infamous will always elude me.

[@bigfatdynamo246]

Supposedly he's trying to say, "big league," but even if that's true it still doesn't make sense in context.

[@stormageddondarklordofall4733]

Christina -- don't delete this comment b/c some ppl may not like it. Trump and his words drive me crazy as well. Bigly--- is NOT a word, no matter how many ppl try and spin it into something else. Trump has at best a 200 word vocabulary---his own ghost writer said so

[@christinafitzgerald8886]

If i knew i could not pronounce a word right i would change it to another word not to sound stupid.

[@willpower6262]

Trump first 100 days in office make Bigly an official word

"We're going to win, big league" ?

[@neiceyw78]

Yeah he did, they slowed it down, played it again. Still came out bigly

[@Luthies]

Anthony Russell If it doesn't matter why do you keep claiming it's "big league" when everyone in the world with working ears knows it's "bigly" ?

[@ImVeryOriginal]

He isn't making up stories, but he sure is ignoring a lot of them, just as the rest of the pro-Clinton media (CNN, MSNBC). And don't get me wrong, Trump deserves every minute of the pounding he receives, but that's no excuse for giving Clinton a pass for her underhanded tacticts in the primaries, pretending the WikiLeaks emails contained only risotto recepies, rationalizing her speeches to Wall Street as business as usual and ignoring the Project Veritas videos. Check out KZbin channels like TYT Politics, Secular Talk or The Humanist Report to see the contrast.

This piece is Brilliant!!!! Trevor - AS usual, you capture one of the most disturbing and concerning aspects of our society - the lack of objectivity and preference/desire of hearing what we want to hear over what the reality. Part of the solution to this problem lies in our secondary education system. We need to find ways to more effectively teach the principles of the scientific method as in understanding the following: a hypothesis, the findings, the strengths and limitations of the methods used to acquire the findings and the interpretation of those findings as well as ALTERNATIVE interpretations.

[@Tuchulu]

if Trump had said it instead of Biden we'd be talking about it for a week though.

[@Primalxbeast]

Tuchulu Trump always talks like that, Biden was just using language Trump could understand.

[@desmond8122]

Biden is not running for president dude.

[@Infernoraptor]

Not really, if Trump had said it (he's talked about people needing to be beaten up at his rallies before), it'd be buried in the rest of his stuff. As for Biden, it's news, in part, because he's been largely out of the campaign scene for months and he's, arguably, the closest the Dems have to a Trump-esque, impulsive, loudmouth (at least, that's the way he's sometimes portrayed and I mean no disrespect).
