Trevor Noah on race, comedy and politics

[@margiedaniels489]

He is a breath of fresh air...I love him!

[@iamnothere7395]

gee i wonder why.

[@dennismoss3439]

This young man is a national treasure and a daily oasis of sanity. Thanks to all involved in getting him this job.

[@rd4469]

Truth & Justice Affirmative Action has worked well for you!!

[@noleneabrahams2991]

Dennis Moss Trevor my homeboy tell that lady of BBC News she must not tell you other people you are who you are

[@elainewarren1294]

Jon Stewart picked the right person to take his place...Trevor Noah is great!!

[@naxT890]

No he did not......This guy does not understand politics. Bassem Youssef is so much better !!!!!!!

[@elainewarren1294]

naxT890...I wasn't familiar with Bassem until I read up on him today. He sounds like he would be a great talk show host...funny, intelligent and humanitarian. Thanks for educating me!

[@naxT890]

Elaine Warren No problem. He has made a few videos for Fusion which are funny as well about the election.

[@ropro9817]

Trevor Noah made The Daily Show unwatchable garbage

[@ropro9817]

***** Don't get me started on Samantha Bee! I've literally thrown things at my TV while listening to her annoying as fuck rants.

[@jtown4187]

I love Trevor Noah for his wisdom and intellect, the way he see the world gives me hope for more better changes about the world, his respect to an individual as is

[@taliaprice1909]

Trevor Noah is a very intelligent man. I see a lot of hate towards him, and I think that the people who really hated him are jealous of his success and hate the fact that there is an intelligent black South African man hosting a very popular show. And yes for those who want to go on this "biracial" rant, he is a black man. But that is besides the point. He speaks a lot of truth. And that fact that he has haters means that he is doing something right.

[@MylezNevison]

Talia Price thanks for verbalising my thoughts for me 😊

[@brandvester]

Talia Price So true 😄

[@taliaprice1909]

Serah Aeruchalou Who are you replying to?

[@freeexpression5428]

Serah Aeruchalou Who are you relying to?

[@jeromecastonguay]

Thanks for that Talia, we just love this man. He is what we should all strive to be by the year 2075! It will be a beautiful world

[@chandaquimsing5577]

The CBC host's line of questioning has me scratching my head. "Is that where your confidence comes from"? Good on you Trevor Noah for holding your own.

[@pampam8555]

i love this man with all of my heart

[@laurenmuller200]

Wow, when Trevor pointed out that the origins of the US rested on slavery and dispossession, Tomi blanched and changed the subject SO fast!! Why can't Americans face their own historical complicity, like we South African's have had to do? Thank you Trevor for being there at this important moment in history. Sterkte!

[@carolkelly1290]

This guy is brilliant. Jon Stewart could not have picked a better person to follow him. Let me change that. He's not following Jon Stewart he's making a new path - his own path. Unfortunately his dimples often distract from what he is saying.

[@chordz82]

Carol Kelly Completely agree with everything you just said. To all his detractors who claim he knows nothing about U.S. politics, heres my two cents; Trevor Noah doesnt need to understand U.S. politics to be able to comment about it...whats really unique about him is that he brings an outsider's perspective and sheds a distinctive light on the absurdity of political happenings there...because thats truly how the rest of the world views the poloitical shenanigans in the U.S today, after Trumps election as President.

[@littlejoe9381]

Thank you Trevor for educating people. Knowledge is power and it leads to understanding.

[@rochellemaria8673]

I love you on the Daily Show, Trevor! I can't wait to read your autobiography!

[@liberallarry847]

There's a lot the US can learn from South Africa when it comes to race.

[@glossygloss472]

That's funny, considering apartheid was abolished in the 90s.

[@assaba22]

Childhood Obesity & Soda That's the irony.

[@glossygloss472]

A. Linda No, it's not. The irony is that someone is trying to convey South Africa as a less racially tense society than America, which it isn't.

[@HipHopAn0n]

Yeah, like when whites become a minority they will be hated and discriminated against the same way they are in South Africa.

[@seongpak8732]

Liberal Larry. So, why he left SA?

[@michaelaclose5003]

I love you Trevor Noah!

[@freeexpression5428]

...yet another bullshit fake-ass comment...nice try, The non-National

[@lindacrowley1405]

Free Expression Who are YOU

[@IsaAvasa]

He has so much confidence, patience and perspective... to explain his past to those that have no concept. Admirable to say the least.

[@sandrastephens]

He's so eloquent. I just love him!

[@AndrewInWinnipeg]

What a great guy. Good interview Wendy.

[@soshajames2810]

yet you turned out so well... eloquent young man.. hats off to you brother..

[@IlluminatiSilver]

Whilst we do not necessarily agree with some of Trevor's politics he is a young man wise beyond his years. He is absolutely right that people should move outside of their 'bubbles' and enter others in order to try and understand their point of view too.

[@Real19821]

The host is almost tearful :-) TN is eloquent and distinguished, a joy to listen too.

[@BeakerInShortShorts]

I wish Trevor would see this but... 25 years ago my high school tried to start an anti apartheid group and invited a prominent African Canadian to come speak to us and he told us we had it all wrong. We needed to be the voice (as white Canadian youth) for our fellow Native First Nations. It was the last time we met as a group. As 16 year olds we longed to help a group "romanticized " in movies at the time but couldn't face our own nation's hatred and injustice. I regret that to this day and try to hold it as an example of needing to grow even as an adult towards greater acceptance and inclusion every day.

[@GetaPetaHome]

I was a fan, even before you took on the show! You were amazing all along, and only get better with time! Good job!

[@freeexpression5428]

...yet another bullshit fake-ass comment...nice try, The non-National

[@waltmark1814]

he just cuts across the bullshit...i love it say it as it as

[@Annabelle18.98]

never had i hear sooo much wisdom and truth equating to high level of intellectual expression from anyoneee!! he's a real gem!

[@lindacrowley1405]

You are one of a kind....love you

[@ginalopez4621]

Trevor Noah VERY smart young Man more blessings to you .

[@Lijaskurzeme]

OMG. What an utterly precious person Trevor is. I am truly in awe and humbled. I ADORE THIS MAN

[@beth-bi9yv]

What an eloquent speaker!

[@amenasmj6337]

I found this interview intense and just really nice.

[@zaidahaziz]

so eloquently put... All the best in everything :)

[@philomenadias6081]

Trevor is here to do good and bring awareness in humans (men & women), the West had never had in the past a young man who is such a courageous and fearless. Most of the shows one watches, nobody has brought such awareness in humans. I know what apartheid or class system does to humans. Trevor thank you for your wisdom and integrity and your divine comedy. Blessings always.

[@TyeseCooperStylist]

He is just so LOVELY. Just simply ......A good human.

[@milaaquariosoulinc4994]

Never heard of this interviewer and usually not impressed by caucasian female reporters but this lady did rather well. As always, Trevor you master the english language and always a pleasure hearing your views.

[@Erodam]

I immediately am reminded of Jon Stewart's interview with this lady, he served her up so bad they disabled comments lol

[@jeffghant4760]

Really? I have to find that video.

[@alotan2acs]

Axhiro Madlander she's so pretty though

[@samanthag8786]

She’s horrible

[@normaldiane]

I love Trevor Noah, I recommend his book, I finished it 3 weeks ago. Jon Stewart absolutely picked his appropriate replacement. He is so intelligent, witty and insightful! Not to mention, just plain funny!.

[@rigbyrigbone5407]

Mopane worms (caterpillars) are eaten in Zimbabwe and other southern African countries as well, I guess it must seem as strange to other cultures as it seems strange to mine that people eat snails too.

[@shortbussurfer]

but once the Whites eat them they become Ese cargo

[@veronicasilinda1159]

Mopani worms: My all time favourite dish😊😊 🇿🇦 (Mpumalanga)

[@JAYANTIKISHEN]

It's real real remarkable the way you talk the wayyou answers

[@cristina00007]

I actually love this interview! Usually I love any Trevor interviews but the interviewer did a great job! 😂😍

[@khanduribrijesh4959]

Bro Trevor bravo thinking is very positive.from India.😊

[@Rachelx0]

Im legit in love with this man .

[@Erodam]

Great interview tho

[@andypeutherer4218]

fukin legend mate.

[@alinurshow1930]

Trevor is intelligent man. I like his satirical humor about important topics, and he is good at providing sharp arguments.

[@johnkabucho6850]

Just pure CONSCIOUSNESS ......My purpose is not to fill his shoes, my purpose is to create my own shoes in the shoe factory that he bequeathed to me.... #STAYWOKE

[@urspatz6967]

One of the greatest talents of all times. He has a hard childhood and he is very authentic.

[@cathycronin3662]

What an amazing man! He's so intelligent.

[@2cool238]

Race is the fundamental structure that shapes the American society. Everything thing in America is about race. Race have a significant effect on everything, literally. From politic, education, economics, and even the demographics of big to small city is shaped by the history of race and racism. quite frankly, we don't talk enough about race. There should be a compulsory class from 1st grade to 10th grade on race and racism in America. Telling people to stop talking about race is like telling people to stop talking about the huge elephant in the room that is literally breaking everything and hope it goes away.

[@streamermoment]

Incredible and Wendy did a great job too!

[@MylezNevison]

Indzzgracey beautiful interview

[@latisewilson4561]

Love his posture

[@1985bjaycat]

Latise Wilson he looks like an athlete too.

[@lene4277]

Bhuti we are proud of you 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯

[@rightslip8345]

Sometimes, I don’t really enjoy Trevor Noah BUT I respect him and believe him to be a moral, intelligent and hard working man who shares his experience with his craft. To come at him with race baiting tactics is foolish; he’ll get you every time. Most interviews I’ve seen him on wouldn’t let him speak but he persevered every time.

[@crownprincezw]

Brother smoothed talked his way throughout that interview I'm sure that lady gave him her number😂

[@diazno94]

Did anyone else notice how her smile suddenly disappeared when he started to talk about the USA was built on segregation and oppression???!!! 6:13

[@marshagraham9320]

She is a Canadian news person, I’m sure she agreed with his viewpoint

[@dinazee8845]

Love this guy💖💖💖

He is just what we need and i want!!

[@khanduribrijesh4959]

Already said from sister vaishali khanduri.god bless you.

[@Joseph198DaoudaSENE]

i read your book, i's amazing!

[@MegaBluedolphin]

I read Trevor Noah's book Born a CRIME. I laughed so and l cried, l laughed and l cried. He truly is a National treasure.🌞❤🌞

[@latisewilson4561]

The interviewer did not appreciate his confidence and intelligence

[@nomthikhuzwayo5168]

She didn't. .it looks like she didn't want to do the interview. .the condescending smile says it all!

[@seymasezgin7043]

Not only condescending smiles. Also asked about " being half white, is that your confidence comes from?! " so Trevor gave the answer that she deserved: " even people who consider themselves completely liberal and progressive, you will find that times betray a moment they don't accept and a moment of intolerance. "

[@Shannnnnnnnnnnnn]

Wow this lady was being an asshole to him. Telling him he's a crime, his mother threw him out of the car, and that his mother fed him caterpillars. I'd like to see her look like Trevor and grow up in Trevor's home place. She was trying to be so racist to Trevor without coming off as racist. Only talking about racism against him and how he's unaccepted.

[@Zucifer8]

Really Bro?

[@funmioladejo5763]

Really Bro Trevor wrote a book saying those things you are saying she said to him. That was his experience growing up in South Africa. He was invited to the show to talk about his interview with Tomi and most especially, his book. She is not being racist.

[@lyricystx]

@Really Bro There you go proving the Oswald Cobblepot guy below's point which I happen to disagree with by the way. You can't go around seeing racism in every single thing. Everything she asked him was based off the book he wrote. There was something about the way she was questioning him that i didn't like bit nonetheless, I don't think she was trying to be racist here.

[@jeromecastonguay]

read his book and you will understand her questions... it's a great read you will love it.

[@michaelkamara8216]

I just adore his responses. Perfecto!!!

[@leeanne0716]

well spoken, inelegant, young man that reaches out and connect with human with comedy!! true talent and refreshing young man....thank you for sharing your gift to the world...i too have never fit in....less face it being a practicing Muslim in the deep south of america in not fitting in....ever since i saw your first stand up routines i knew you had a gift...i was actuality living in a middle eastern country sick in a public hospital ward...eight women in one room with one bathroom...i a curtain separated my area from touching others .....i was extremely ill ...no tv...hell we were lucky the windows opened in the summer living in a desert....i found you here on youtube....i was in so much pain and home sick from my family in american ....not speaking arabic fluently i was depressed and watching your routines had me laughing...honestly helping me heal,,,,,laughter is the best medicine....truly a god given talent!!!! one in a million

[@stevekoh6412]

Best Trevor!!!!

[@GetaPetaHome]

Tomi, You need to realize it is in fact bad-intentioned to think any race was "born better". If you wish to BE better-DO BETTER. Being kind is something to be proud of. I hope you hear and learn from this.

[@fredleejohnson9281]

And yes indeed this is/was a very good interview and good "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" and just let the "TRUTH BE TOLD THE TRUTH"

[@loisgrant7798]

Brilliant..he's just brilliant..I love his answers..and I love how he ends this interview...he's not trying to fit in...Wow..

[@COMPASSION2611]

What a testimony!

[@imjeffo]

This guy is brilliant.

[@tamikapiller1759]

I LIKE HIM! Just learn of him with the Tomi interview...Gotta learn more!

[@aliciaburbank9962]

This man speaks the truth!

[@taye9180]

indeed he is very intelligent and eloquent.

[@serendipity9256]

love this guy , with each show , each interview ,i'm a bit more in love

[@nqobanimsomi3942]

I am a simple man, i see a South African impacting d world i like!

[@hleziphidhlamini1012]

I found the interviewer to be afraid of discussing racism which exist in every corner of the world

[@madamekabotoff]

What a well-spoken representative for any media corp but most of all, an excellent representative of all of the good values that exist in today's diverse cultures.

[@SparkzyDave]

that statement at the end is awesome

[@mizyaonyirongo2971]

Mopani warms are an actual delicacy in Southern Africa and I personally love them regardless of being able to afford fancy meals.

[@BrandonSchleifer]

He did a terrible job interviewing her. She said BLM is rioting, looting, vandalizing, and what do the KKK do? The actual answer is that they're a fringe group without many members or branches, so they don't do much. But I think the answer she was looking for was "rioting, looting and vandalizing." I think that the point she was trying to make is that the actions of BLM are what matter, and what they say does not matter. It doesn't matter if you say you hate black people or love black people, if you're rioting and breaking laws, you are the bad guy. Also, the Truth and Reconciliation commission that Trevor Noah is talking about is straight out of 1984. He is literally speaking out in favour of thought control. You can deny anything you want, and if you want to convince someone something is true, you need to give them evidence, not tell them to shut up!

[@Kirsten567]

My white grandfather and coloured grandmother was together during Apartheid how was that possible if apartheid was that bad?

[@sgdluu]

it's amazing how Trevor is elevated in CBC towards reconciliation without recognising how he is creating more division. In particular of his defence of black lives matter.

[@gretaberry4983]

I believe you can bring a nation together. One love 💕 one nation?

[@lgoffigan]

"change is something we are resistant to"

[@justmyopinion9883]

Great interview. Trevor Noah was the perfect person to replace Jon Stewart. He is funny and he makes you think; wonderful qualities for a comedian. Plus that he is cute!

[@colleencory3859]

Any chance of an interview with Tomi Lahren?

[@aaronsmith1676]

You can't critically think without researching opposing viewpoints, contrasting them and coming to ones own opinion. These types of conversations can only be beneficial.

[@liambible2504]

To be fair… ‘Go back to Africa!’ is really funny.

[@kevinperera18]

The beauty is that his intelligence is refined by the wisdom and an amazing sensibility.

[@spongecake951]

trevor is such an articulate orator probably better speaker than comedian to be quite honest

[@naimgreen5243]

How on earth does this video have such few views. He deserves much more attention than any other leader on this planet and I truely believe that he would be the best president of the US even better than Obama. Still he will have a bright future and I wish him all luck and success.

[@siyakasi6235]

🤣 🤣 🤣 It's amazing how the conversation quickly changes direction when trevor noah brings up the reality and extended impacts of slavery in a arica and how it made 🇺🇸 to be where it is today

[@aliciaburbank9962]

She threw you out of a car? She fed you caterpillars? Clearly the interviewer missed the point.

[@sleepy4everhella252]

What does he have to say about trump today????? Something unbiased and good, let's see where it goes.

[@RamRam-217]

Those caterpillars(Mophane worms) are a delicacy back home 😁, I don't particularly like them but they are quite tasty.

[@judithobari6527]

This guy is smart woow

[@jefersonvilaede]

people need knowledge of self. Meditate and tihnk about your life. With that and the intention of becoming aware of your defects and qualities, you start evolving. Its that simple. So, to have a conversation with someone who holds an opposing view, it is hard for the untrained (and most are) because your views are ALREADY condemning and deemed offensive by the other party.

[@gdeeddh]

[@MsSuriSu]

Why fit in, when you can stand out!
