Will Smith - Embodying Richard Williams & Learning to Understand His Father | The Daily Show

It's nice watching an interview where 2 people wanna hear what each other have to say for a change. No talking over each other, just a respectful conversation

[@rayvincente]

The respect Trevor has for Will and vice versa is so obvious! Great to see

[@tebogomashishi51]

The funny intelligence conversation that they always have together makes you wish to listen to them everyday.

[@bluefun22]

Not sure how long you’ve been watching the show but Will has been one of his active mentors for a while, like since the beginning….I think you’re picking up on how their close relationship shows with how comfortable the conversation is

[@just4951]

I like trevors Interview style. It's more of a discussion and especially the interviewee has to deal with someone who actually has read that book and does intelligent follow up questions.

That's what happens when you are raised correctly to respect people.

Trevor Noah is brilliant. I really enjoy watching him interview people- he listens and asks smart questions. And manages to keep the person he's interviewing engaged and comfortable. Great interview, nailed it.

[@h.peters]

I always respect the fact that Trevor Noah takes the time to read the guests books. They are many an interview he gives a synopsis of the book in as a preface to the first question. Respect.

[@williamthatsmyname]

He probably gets a summary and some highlights from his editors.

[@bensenzo]

@@williamthatsmyname or he actually reads the book?

[@nickmartin8495]

Noah is a true genius.. he could probably read the entire book in a few hours

[@ShaniAce]

@@williamthatsmyname That's probably true for most late night hosts (and the ones I watch are usually are very transparent about it), but Trevor is different. I think it was in his book 'Born a crime' where he mentioned how much of a bookworm he is. He just eats up books that quickly. And it really shows, the way he talks about the books sounds like someone who paid attention and read it all and not like someone who got a summary and highlights, that just wouldn't cut it.

[@JaydevRaol]

Yeah I love that about him as well.

[@minipa008]

Watching Trevor work, one sees a perfect blend of nature and nurture. Patricia did a great job in raising a respectful son/man yet Trevor's skills at engaging with his guests speaks volumes about his intellectual acumen and hours of preparation to know his stuff. More blessings and success to you Trevor!

[@antispeedrun]

As someone who, at 37, only just this year spoke to his parents about long-term mental health issues that have been ongoing for 25+ years, who thought HE was late to the conversation, hearing what Will said about being 52 and talking to his mom for the first time about his dad's abuse gave me chills and made me feel a little bit lighter inside.

Wow , incredible. I think you got will to talk about stuff i hadn't heard him say before, he even seemed to really tense up a bit talking about purifying. Stewart picked an absolute CLASS ACT winner for his successor. Show looks great too, comfy, different, classy, stylish and modern but still warm and inviting.

Will didn’t say anything new in this interview. He’d already discussed this in his KZbin series and on Oprah and late shows. He talked about purifying his heart on Oprah.

[@rogeriodias3993]

If being a cuck means down-to-earth, then yeah you are right.

[@SabrinaLWilliams]

The reason why Trevor's interviews are so interesting and successful is because he has already studied the material. He has an insight into the person not only so that he can ask the right questions but the right FOLLOW UP questions. He also listens just like Graham Norton. Take note Oprah

[@jabulanimadlingoziblondes981]

He is serious.
