And Idris Elba.
This is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

What's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in.
Thank you for coming out in person. Wow.
Boy, you guys are electric. This is great.
This is great. This is amazing. All right, take a seat,
take a seat. Take a seat. We-we got to go, we got to go.
We have a jam-packed show for you tonight.
Serena Williams is breaking up with tennis,
London is telling its art to go back to Africa,
and you'll never guess which bureau of investigation
paid Donald Trump a visit.
Plus, here to talk about his brand-new movie
where he fights a lion,
Idris Elba is our guest tonight.
-(cheering, applause) -Put your tops back on, ladies,
put your tops back on! Let's do this, people.
Let's jump straight into today's headlines.
♪ ♪
Okay, all right. Before we get into the big story
that everyone is talking about,
let's catch up on a few other things
that are going on in the news.
First up, a London museum with an extensive collection
of sculptures stolen from Africa in the 19th century
has agreed to return the artworks to Nigeria.
(cheering, applause)
Now, that's good.
But it's not good enough. Yeah.
England kept Africa's artifacts for 100 years.
As a penalty, they should let Africa
keep something of theirs, yeah.
We'll take two Benedict Cumberbatches and the queen.
Just gonna keep them for a while, you know?
In entertainment news, Hollywood has announced
a, uh, production of a live-action
Pac-Man movie.
-(audience groans) -Yeah. Oh, no, you-you--
I see your doubts, but it already has Oscar buzz.
And the script is really beautiful.
I got, uh, a copy of it right here.
Really, really, really powerful.
Um, this is Pac-Man's lines. Uh,
"Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa. Boop!
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa. Bew, bew, bew, bew."
Powerful stuff. Uh...
And, of course, in today's major sports news,
Serena Williams has announced that
she will be retiring from tennis
after the U.S. Open next month. Yeah.
And this is bad news for Serena fans,
but great news for me.
Uh, because, as we all know, she was the only thing
standing between me and Wimbledon, and now...
Well, also the fact that I can't really play tennis.
But now I win! All right, let's move on, people,
to the big news story of the day.
In fact, one of the biggest news stories
of any day, ever.
Former president Donald "Jailbird" Trump
got a visit from the FBI.
Tonight, breaking news: former president Donald Trump,
saying the FBI has raided his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Mr. Trump saying a short time ago that the FBI
has carried out an unannounced raid
at his home at the Florida club,
and that they even broke into his safe.
NEWSMAN: Boxes and boxes of documents have been seized
from former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home
after the FBI conducted a wide-ranging search.
This may be the most politically explosive raid
ever undertaken by the FBI.
Something that has not happened before in American history,
so just take that in for just a second.
It doesn't get any more significant than this.
It's not just aggressive, this is unprecedented.
Absolutely unprecedented.
Unbelievable, I mean, stunning.
Oh, my God.
The FBI raided Donald Trump's house in Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI, people, raided a former president's house.
This is huge!
This is bigger than when the Feds investigated
Bill Clinton for doing mouth stuff with that saxophone.
And by the way, by the way, this raid,
just so you know, has nothing to do with January 6
or tax fraud or giving the White House plumber PTSD.
No, apparently, apparently this investigation
is about Trump taking classified documents from the White House.
And-and honestly, you know, I'm amazed
that Trump has time for all of this crime.
Like, at any moment, at any moment
Trump's got a crime that he's covering up,
he's got a crime that he's doing now,
he's got a crime that he's plotting for the future.
He's like the Steve Harvey but of crimes, you know?
Every day I'm like,
"Does he have the same hours in the day as me?
He gets so much done."
Now, if you'll remember, if you'll remember,
earlier this year the Feds already had to go down
to Mar-a-Lago and take back 15 boxes of documents
that Trump wasn't supposed to have,
but apparently they think there's more
hidden on the property.
All right? And I believe that. I believe that, too.
I mean, like, Trump's not gonna keep records
in a filing cabinet like a normal person.
This is the same dude who buried his ex-wife on a golf course.
I mean, think about that.
And, yes, it is totally unprecedented for the FBI
to raid the home of a former president.
That is true. That has never happened in American history.
But don't forget, Donald Trump has also never happened
in American history.
(cheering and applause)
Everything is an anomaly with this man.
I mean, like, why do you think a book from one of his staffers
comes out every single week?
Because every single person he interacts with is like,
"Yo, have I got a (bleep) up story for you."
And wouldn't it be weird if this is the thing
that takes Trump down?
We thought it would be something like conspiracy
or bribery or blackmail.
But, no, Trump's got busted for taking work home with him?
What a nerd.
Now, obviously President Trump recognizes
the gravity of the situation, which is why he has refrained
from comment while the legal process is...
No, I'm joking with you, come on.
The guy released a statement immediately, immediately.
He read...
"What's the difference?"
I love that, even while he's complaining,
he slips in that the thing is beautiful.
"How could they do this to my beautiful home?"
-Also... -(applause and cheering)
Also...
this is completely different from Watergate. All right?
For one thing, the guys breaking into Watergate
didn't need to clean old ketchup stains
off the documents but the other big thing,
the other difference is that the raid was legal.
All right? It was approved by a federal judge,
approved by the head of the FBI, who, by the way,
was appointed by Donald Trump himself
after he got rid of, like, 17 other heads of the FBI.
Because they didn't want to do crimes with Donald Trump.
So now, the big mystery is what did the FBI find?
Well, according to Donald Trump's third-favorite son,
the only thing the FBI took was his heart.
What could they possibly think existed
inside of Mar-a-Lago in a box
that was taken from the White House
that-that was so damaging that the FBI director
and the Attorney General of the United States
would-would have to raid a former president's residence,
uh, and grab everything out of there?
I don't know. They'll probably find a note from me
telling him how proud I am of him
and what a great job he was doing as president.
They might find some pictures of my kids.
Maybe some nice, you know, headlines.
Uh, maybe a nice note from you, Sean.
-Oh, Eric. -(laughter)
You silly, silly man.
Did daddy tell you that's where your letters to him go?
Hmm? Hidden away somewhere safe.
(as Trump): They're just too important to show anybody
or acknowledge in any way, Eric.
That's why I locked them up right next to my wedding ring.
That's what I do.
(normal voice): Now, aside from the boxes that they took,
the FBI also looked inside Trump's safe,
which is very dramatic.
Like, because, apparently, they had to break into it.
All right? So now you're like, "How did they do it?
"Did-did they blow it open
or did they just correctly guess the code 6969?"
-I-I... -(laughter)
Honest I... I'd be surprised.
I would actually be surprised
if they found White House documents in Trump's safe.
Because a safe is where you keep your most-prized possessions.
Yeah.
So, in my head, searching through Trump's safe
would probably go a lot more like this.
All right, guys, let's see what we have in here. All right.
My God.
The entire safe is just filled with McRib after McRib.
This is... this is...
They're stacked on top of each other.
This is... I don't even understand.
It's an unventilated safe. Who would do this?
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
There-there's a secret panel in the bottom.
I think we found it. We just found...
Nope, another McRib, boys. Another McRib.
-Now... -(applause and cheering)
you might be wondering...
you might be wondering,
isn't this an extremely explosive situation
for the United States?
Yes, it is. It is.
You don't want to let a former president get away with crimes,
right, because nobody in America is above the law.
All right? Except corporations and rich people
and police and celebrities sometimes.
But aside from them, nobody is above the law.
But at the same time, even the perception
that the Justice Department is being used
to go after your political opponents,
that could erode people's trust in government.
So it's a really tricky situation.
And the only thing we can do is wait
and see how the investigation unfolds.
Or, if you're Fox News, you can just freak out right now.
This is an abomination.
This is gestapo crap.
It's probably the worst day in the history of the FBI.
This is a wake-up call for those in congress
to be able to use the tools at their disposal
to defund the FBI,
dismantle the FBI into a thousand bits.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene simply tweeting,
-"Defund the FBI!" -(laughter, whooping)
If this is what they're able to do
to the former president of the United States,
think about what they could do to you,
to anybody in America.
The real target of this investigation isn't Trump.
The real target of this investigation is you.
Do we have a j-- dual justice system in America?
Is there equal justice under the law?
I am deathly afraid for Donald Trump.
I would not put assassination
-behind these people. -(groaning)
We're entering a... (stammers)
basically, a Venezuelan,
Zimbabwean, East German-style banana republic
in which the law doesn't matter.
This is some third-world bullshit right here.
Let me say it again: third-world bullshit.
All right, first of all,
as someone from the third world,
maybe leave us out of your shit for once, huh?
-How 'bout that? How 'bout that? -(cheering and applause)
"This is some third-world bullshit right here.
This is some..."
Every time,
every time Americans want to call something in America
that-that's corrupt, all of a sudden, they're like,
"Oh, this is third-world bullshit."
My man, at what point do you realize
that it's happening here?
It's you. It's you.
(cheering and applause)
Bad things only happen in other countries?
When it's here, it's still happening in another country?
In fact, when something happens in the actual third world,
yeah, these days, America's gotten so bad,
people in Africa are like, "Are you kidding me?
"This is just like America! Ah, no.
"This place is turning into America!
"What are we doing here, huh?
What are we doing?"
-(applause) -(chuckles)
But I do get what Super Karen is saying.
If the FBI...
if the FBI is gonna go after Trump
for stealing classified documents from the White House,
then what's to stop them from going after you
when you steal classified documents from the White House?
Is that the country we want to live in,
where anyone can be investigated
just for the crime of doing crimes?
I don't think so!
-(cheering and applause) -I don't think so.
And, you know...
all of this just shows you,
it all just, like...
you just get a moment to savor is how amazing,
how quickly MAGA world turns on law enforcement
and America as a whole whenever it suits them,
whenever things go against them.
Huh? All of a sudden.
Marjorie Taylor Greene posting a photo
of an upside-down American flag after this raid happened.
Yeah. Oh, I thought respecting the flag
was the most important thing in the world.
Colin Kaepernick is probably kneeling in his grave right now.
All of these people complaining.
What happened to "If you don't like what's happening
in America, why don't you just leave?"
What happened to that, huh?
And a-all-all of these-- all of these years--
what has it been, two years now?--
of people saying, "'Defund the police'
is like the N-word for law enforcement."
Yes, but let the FBI take two boxes from Mar-a-Lago
and, all of a sudden, these same people are like,
"Take that thin blue line and shove it up your ass!
"Defund the FBI!
Defund the cops!"
(applause)
Same people. Same people.
Where's law enforcement now?
You know what we need to start for conservatives?
We need to start a... like, a game show called Who's Woke Now?
That's what we should call it. (chuckles) Yeah.
Just, like, bring in-- "Our first contestant is Sean Hannity
who says now, 'There are two justice systems in America.
"It's not fair.' Oh, who's woke now, Sean?
"You just won yourself an afro pick.
Congratulations, brother."
(laughter, applause)
Look, we don't know...
we don't know what this raid will reveal.
We don't even know
if Donald Trump has actually done anything wrong.
But what it has exposed is that this whole MAGA crowd--
they're only pro-law enforcement,
they're only pro-law enforcement
-when the law is not enforcing them. -WOMAN: Yeah!
-(applause) -All right, that's it for the headlines,
but before we go, let's check in on the traffic
with our very own Roy Wood Jr., everybody!
(applause and cheering)
-What's up, man? -What's going on with traffic, Roy?
-What's going on? -Good to see you.
Yeah, yeah. We'll get to the traffic in a second, man.
-Okay. -But I just want to ask you a couple...
We got... we got Idris Elba.
-Idris Elba's going to be on here tonight. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-(applause and cheering) -Now, but I have a question for you.
-Yeah. -I have a question for you about Idris
'cause he got the movie where he...
you know, he punches a lion in the face or whatever.
-Yeah, he's fighting a lion. -Okay.
Why is the lion not here to give his side of the story?
Why are you only talking to Idris?
We don't know what the dude... Idris might have done something
to the lion is all I'm saying.
What's happening in the traffic, Roy?
-(laughter) -Okay, we're just going to blow past that?
Okay, that's fine. No. Oh. You know what?
Real quick, real quick, before I get to traffic.
And, look, we don't have time. Just real quick.
I just want to make sure I take a moment before I start traffic
to tell Serena Williams,
thank you for sharing your gift with America.
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
-(applause and cheering) -You are an inspiration
to so many people.
And I just think it's very important that we say that...
-I agree. -...and that we get that out of the way 'cause,
you know, Serena getting ready to hang up her racket
and sneakers. I don't know. What do they do in tennis?
-Which one do they hang up? -I don't know.
-I actually don't know. -I don't know, but it's just,
-we can't blow past that. -Yeah. Yeah.
'Cause what Serena did, man--
this is once-in-a-lifetime level domination.
-We're talking four gold medals... -Mm-hmm.
...23 individual, like, singles Grand Slams.
-(applause and cheering) -And if you count doubles...
-If you're counting doubles, 37 total Grand Slam. -Wow.
And over the course of her career,
Serena Williams made 92 white women cry in public.
-(laughter, applause) -92!
(Noah laughs)
A lot of white women.
Serena was whooping them white women's ass and, like...
And tennis-tennis is messed up 'cause, like,
Serena whupped your ass, and then you got
to stay out there with her while she get her trophy.
Serena-- pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
And then, that white girl be sniffling.
(imitates whimpering)
Holding the damn trophy like that.
Foreign white women, too. These are tough women.
They've seen war.
And Serena still broke their ass down.
Just crying and sniffling, man.
And then, you can't even complain about it.
Serena whoop your ass, you can't go on the Internet
and complain about it, 'cause if you go complain about it
on the Internet, Serena's still getting a cut of the bread,
'cause she own Reddit, too.
-That's her boss. -What?
That's the boss. She...
She married... she married the Reddit man.
-She married Reddit man... -Oh, well, just, uh, um...
...so she get a little piece of the Reddit.
-Um, oh, Ohanian, right? -Yeah. Reddit Ohanian.
-That's what I said. That's his name. -(laughter)
And then, and then, also, man, you know,
I just think, above all, it's important that we, you know,
as Serena goes into whatever chapter is next for her,
whatever she decides to do, we just hope
that as you continue your legacy, we hope
that it includes continuing to make weak-ass people cry.
(laughter, applause and cheering)
And we thank you for that.
More tears.
Okay. We still got time for traffic?
No, we don't have time for the traffic, Roy.
You just did a whole bunch of other things.
-We don't have time. No. -We ain't got time?
-You sure we ain't got time? -No, we don't.
-We got time. Let me just... -No, we don't have time.
-Roy wood Jr., everybody. -Just let-let me start.
You did that on purpose, man. Don't go away.
Idris Elba is going to be sitting right here.
You don't want to miss it.
(cheering, applause)
Welcome back to The Daily Show. You know,
in today's day and age, you should think
hard and long before you put something on social media.
Because if you post something terrible
it could come back to haunt you later.
Or it could even make you president of the United States.
So, before I throw anything out online,
I like to run it by my closest
audience members of the day in a segment we call
Should I Post This?
-♪ ♪ -(cheering)
Okay, this is really simple. So, here's how this works.
I-I'm gonna show you guys, um,
something that I've been thinking about,
maybe I want to post it, and-and--
and-and you'll tell me if I should post it or not.
You know? Just-just be honest.
This is random thoughts. Um,
first thought I'm thinking about posting is:
gyms need to have an extra room
for the people that scream when they work out.
Right? I mean, yeah, I'm glad--
I'm glad that you're exorcising your demons,
but you need to understand that no one else in the gym
is having the same internal battle that you are.
Aah! Aah!
Sweat is just fat that's crying! Aah!
Take that shit to your therapist.
What do you think-- should I post it, yeah?
-ALL: Yeah! -Okay, all right. all right, great.
Oh, this is going fantastic. All right,
well, let's do the next one.
I wish I could throw up like a dog.
-(audience groans) -No, because I do, I do.
Have you ever seen, like, a dog throws up,
and then five minutes later, they're just chasing a ball,
chilling like nothing happened.
Meanwhile, when humans throw up, it doesn't matter
how-how old you are, you're still crying.
You're like... (crying): "Oh, Mom.
I want my mom. I have to stay home from school."
(crying)
So should I-- should I post it?
AUDIENCE: No!
Huh. Okay. All right. See? I'm glad I asked you first.
Okay, uh, here's the next one.
"People, please stop buying vegetables at the grocery store
that you know you aren't gonna eat."
Yeah. You don't look fancy.
The cashier's not impressed.
You think the cashier's gonna be like, "Ooh, bok choy.
How sophisticated. Can I get your number?"
You know you're not gonna eat it.
It's just gonna end up sitting in the back of your fridge
until it looks like something from the Upside Down.
Stop doing that shit!
Stop wasting food!
You think I should post it?
-(cheering) -All right, all right, great.
Okay, last one, last one.
"Can people please stop hiding their trash cans?"
Every time I go over to somebody's house
and I need to throw something away,
it's like Mission: Impossible.
Huh? I'm opening cabinets.
I'm there looking under the sink.
And then they're like, "Oh, sorry,
it's hidden in a drawer that looks like the wall."
Why?!
Why? If it takes me longer than seven seconds
to find your trash can, I'm throwing this shit on the couch.
You know what? Posting it? Yeah?
-(cheering) -All right. Thank you so much.
Those are all the posts that I have for today.
Thank you so much for the advice.
Remember, if I get canceled, you guys are all going down with me.
Stay tuned! 'Cause when we come back,
Idris Elba will be joining me on the show!

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wow.
Thank you.
That's a lot of love. That is a lot of love.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Thank you very much. -We could just--
we could just do that for the whole interview. That--
Every time you come to the show, I have to schedule extra time.
We're like, "Who-Who's the guest?"
They're like, "Idris Elba." I'm like, "Well, we need
three minutes for people screaming and cheering and--"
This just follows you-- How's your hearing?
Is your hearing good? Are you--
-Uh, sorry, what was that? -(laughs)
-Welcome back to the show. -Oh, man, it's good to be back,
-man. -Good to have you. How do you look better every time
-I see you? -Really? Oh, man.
-(cheering) -What are you-what are you doing? -Oh, nice.
What are you doing? What do you eat? How do you live?
-I mean-- -I just eat a lot of, you know, West African fufu.
-You know, the African-- -Oh, okay, okay, okay.
-You know, with my hands and stuff. -I see, I see, I see.
Welcome back to the show. Um, congratulations
-on a brand-new movie, Beast. -Thank you, man.
I'm super excited for this movie, because, uh,
one, it's you, uh, I mean,
fighting, doing your thing, saving your family.
But, uh, also, you're in South Africa,
-which was really fun for me to see. Right? -Yeah, you know.
-You know. -Worst safari ever, I'll tell you that.
-It's my second home. -Yeah, it is. You go there quite a bit.
I got an honorary, you know, South African.
-I feel like an honorary South African. -I love that.
-I love it, I love it. -Yeah. And--
Let's talk about the movie. Um, it's terrifying.
I just want to put, as a disclaimer, I want people
to know lions are not going to attack your car
-like that in South Africa. -That's true, no.
It's-it's-it's not like that, really.
You know, and this film is actually, you know, an attempt
to understand how rogue lions actually move around.
-Right. -It's very rare that a lion will attack a human being.
But in this film we talk about the-- you know,
poaching is a horrible thing
that happens in-in-in Africa and...
and animals get displaced and, you know,
you get, you know, scared animals like a lion.
In this movie the lion is scared
and ends up, you know, chasing the family.
Me. (laughs)
Yeah, I mean, so you play, you play
a widower in this movie, right,
and you-you go from America back to South Africa.
-Your wife has passed away. -Yes.
You take, you take your children
to South Africa to see the motherland
and then you end up in this experience, which is terrifying.
I haven't seen many movies where you're terrified.
I realized that when I was watching this.
I haven't seen you scared much at all.
Well, bro, can I tell you something?
I went to see the premiere yesterday in New York,
and it was fun, but I was watching the movie
and I was like, "I-I do ugly scared," like...
(laughs) That's not true.
-No, 100%. -You think so?
Oh, man, there's-there's no, there's no sexy in this movie.
(Trevor laughing)
There's a lot of...
(screaming)
I was like, "Dude, I wish I did that different, you know?"
-No. -I liked it.
It was nice to see a different side of Idris, you know?
-(laughs) Thanks. -No, it really was, it really was,
because, like, it's-it's an action movie.
What's-what's cool about it is, you're using, like, a CGI lion,
but it doesn't feel like that in the movie.
-Right-right-right-right. -You know,
because you-you are terrified.
I-I-I want to know how you, how you keep it together
in those moments.
Because what-what do they even have?
Do they have something? Is there someone?
Is there, is there-- or are they just telling you,
"Idris, lion, do it"?
I mean, I want to tell you the truth,
but if I tell you it's really, you know,
it's not as cool, you know.
So, there's a guy in a gray suit.
-Yeah-yeah. -And then, like, tights and, you know, like...
Then, he has this really big head
that looks like a big oversized teddy,
and I, you know, I have to fight that.
He's strong, he's a big guy, but, you know,
like, it just, it just doesn't look cool.
Can I tell you?
That is more terrifying to me.
(laughs) Yes.
If I woke up and-and there was a lion in my bedroom,
I'd be like, "Aah, there's a lion!"
If I woke up and there was a man
with the head of a teddy bear
who was standing over me...
Yeah, all gray.
I mean, he looked like a cross between a,
-a rat and an elephant. -You see, you see,
it's just like, every prayer my mother knows
I would be saying at that moment,
that's what I would be doing.
Um, you're not just making movies, though.
I-- like, you know, what I love about you is,
you're living life.
You know, you-you just seem like you're having a great time.
You're out there deejaying. Are you still in...?
-In Ibiza, yeah, yeah, yeah. -You're an, you're an Ibiza DJ.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How do you, how do you do this?
'Cause you're making movies, when are you DJ'ing?
I mean, you know, I-I try and spread out the DJ'ing.
You know, so I DJ on... I DJ on Friday nights
and I work Monday through Thursday.
-No way. -Yeah.
So you leave the movie set and then you go DJ
and then you spend the weekend at home
-and then you come back and then... -"Cut!"
Thank you. (grunts)
(laughter)
(laughing): I'm straight...
I'm straight in. I'm straight.
You know what I love is the idea that some people
might only know you as a DJ now.
'Cause there are people who go to Ibiza
-who don't watch movies, all they do is club. -Yep.
And there are some people who are probably just like,
-"Oh, that's my favorite DJ." -Yep.
And one day they're gonna see a movie
and be like, "That's that DJ."
(laughter)
It's like, it's the same way...
So, uh, this is really, this is really ridiculous.
I was, um, I was telling my younger brother,
who is going to be on the show,
I was like, "Oh, Idris Elba is going to be on,"
and then, he's with his friend,
and so his friend goes, "Who's that?"
And I said, "Idris Elba," and he goes, "Who's that?"
He's a kid, you know, he's like 15 or whatever.
And then I go, I pull up your picture,
and then he's like, "Oh, that's the guy from...
uh, the guy who's eating the hot wings."
-Oh... -(laughter)
-(Idris chuckling) -(applause)
-From the meme. -You-you're a meme.
"That's the guy from the meme."
That's what he said.
He said, "That is the guy from the meme."
But mind you, you know, I-I heard a stat
that that meme was, like, you know,
top ten memes in the world.
-Easily. -So...
-Easily. -It's embarrassing though.
-Why is it embarrassing? -I eat pepper every day.
Yeah, but, but it's not peppers on the hot...
It's like, it goes... It's extreme.
-Yeah, that's true. -It-It's extreme.
-That's true. -It's a good meme though.
-Is it? -It is.
And you're, like, you're choking, you're crying.
-But I wasn't choking. -(laughter)
First of all, you know, just to clear this up.
It wasn't the hot wings that got me.
It was like, you know when, uh,
you know, the spit goes round the wrong throat.
Oh, okay, okay. Okay.
-You don't believe me? -No, I-I believe you,
but I'm just saying.
I'm-I'm just saying.
I'm trying to... I'm trying to clear this up, man.
(laughter)
Um, let's talk about skin care as well.
You know, um... everyone's favorite couple,
one of the top ten couples as well,
-yourself and your wife. -Aw, thank you, man. Thank you.
You know, we love your journey.
We love seeing you together. It's such a beautiful thing.
-You-you've started a skin care brand together. -We did.
Which is... I mean, why did it take you so long though?
(inhales, laughs)
Well, no, to be fair, man,
we started, you know, during the pandemic, you know,
and-and we literally, when we found ourselves
locked in a house together forever,
I was running out of products,
so I was like, "Well, I'm just going to use yours."
And, uh, and I didn't know what was in it.
And, you know, before we knew it,
we were having a discussion about what is in skin care?
Wh-Why isn't it just for humans and it's so gentrified?
-So this is for man... -Right, right, yeah.
-They be like, "Men's face wash." "Women's..." -Yes.
"Men's face wash is invigorating!"
-You know? "It's stimulating!" -Yes, yes, yes. (laughs)
And so we got into the conversation.
But it also just, you know-- We're--
We both, uh, work with IFAD, which is the, um,
U.N., uh, department for, like, you know, agriculture.
-Yes. -And we-we see that there's a trend
where smallholder farmers who have these ingredients,
you know, can actually help, you know, the-the big marketplaces,
-especially with ingredients into natural skincare. -Right.
-(clapping) -So we found a way to sort of-- thank you--
but we found a way to sort of... (chuckles)
-sort of connect the dots. -(cheering and applause)
See, man, I love that.
So, in our skincare, we have, you know,
-baobab, which is a tree from Africa. -Yeah.
-We have, uh, black seed oil. -Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh.
And they all come from smallholder farmers.
You see, it's like, sexy on the outside, sexy on the inside.
-Oh, man. -Eh. -(cheering)
-Thank you, bro. (chuckles) -It's just-- It's too much.
(applause)
You're turning 50 in September.
-(whooping) -You look like-- you look like you could be
my brother at the exact same age
and I just didn't get the same, like, weight treatment
-that you got. -(laughs)
You're turning 50. Look at you, Idris.
-(stammering) -(whooping)
-(cheering, applause) -I don't know what to say. I mean...
Does 50 know you're turning 50?
(laughs)
-My... -Like, you look like you're turning the age
and the age doesn't know that. Like, 50's like,
"Oh, shit! I didn't know! I didn't know."
(laughing)
What? Like-like, who-- like, who are you?
I don't know, man. I-I'm-- I feel like--
I feel 50. I wake up in the morning, I'm, like,
aching and shit, all right? I feel 50, brother.
You say this to make me feel better.
You don't feel that at all.
-You're right, you're right. -You don't feel--
And you know what I love about you most?
Is that you've lived, like, such a full life.
You know? S-Some people have only been movie stars.
Some people have only done DJ'ing or whatever.
But it's like what I love about your journey
is how much you've done. Like, a lot of people don't know
that you used to work the door at venues.
-Like, you literally-- Yeah. -I did. I did.
Like, a lot of people don't know that--
is Idris Elba would be the person who's, like,
stopping you from coming in
or, like, kicking you out or whatever.
And can I just say? For the record, if you were,
I-I would just be like, "I'll stand outside."
(mutters) I'd just be like,
"This dude is outside. I'll stand outside."
Were you effective? Did you ever, like--
-Did you ever fight anybody? -I was good, but I didn't have
to fight. It was always, you know, in the voice
and, you know, like, "Excuse me, man,
"you can't-- you can't bring that--
-can't bring that gun in here, man." -'Ey.
(laughter)
And they were like, "Oh, okay."
"It's-it's a comedy club. We don't like guns."
(laughing)
Just, like, all the ch-- "You can't-- you can't bring..."
You see? Even that. "You can't bring that gun."
Have you ever heard that sentence sexy before?
(laughter)
-I mean... -It's too-- You know what? I... almost want--
Is there anything you can't do?
I want to see, like...
You know what we're gonna do?
I'm gonna test your sexiness out.
-What? -I want to see what the limits of your sexiness are.
-Really? There-there are limits. -Yeah.
-There are no limits. -Trevor, Trevor, honestly.
No, there are no limits. We're going to test it out.
I'm going to find... I'm going to find the place
that you're not sexy in. All right.
Recipes-- never sexy. So I'll read a recipe out.
"Simple sauteed vegetables.
"Heat olive oil in a large pot.
"Chop vegetables until fine.
"Gently place vegetables in a pot
"and reduce heat to low simmer.
Cook until fully tender, serve warm."
-That was sexy. No? -No. That's...
-(applause and cheering) -'Cause it's a recipe. You read it.
-(Elba clears throat) -I want to see.
-This is where we take you down. -Okay, um...
"Heat olive oil in a large..."
(whooping)
"...in a large pot.
"Chop vegetables until fine.
"Gently place vegetables in pot
and reduce heat to a... low simmer."
(applause and cheering)
And then, um... and then... and then...
"And then cook until fully tender
-and serve..." -This is... Give me that...
(applause and cheering)
All right, I got you. I got you now. I got you.
We all use it-- hand sanitizer. Worst...
-It's the least sexy thing you can do. I... -Yeah.
Every day when I use it, I go, "This is not sexy."
-There's nothing sexy about it. -Huh? Uh, yup, I'll use it.
(laughter)
-Yup. -And you have to wait.
-It's not... You see? -Yeah.
It doesn't matter who you are.
You got the thing and then you have to... Yeah. Uh...
-Yeah. (laughs) -(laughter, applause)
-Yeah. You see? -No, no, no, I'm the same.
-You're the same? -I'm a hundred and...
All right, dude, straight into that camera there. Do it.
-Let's see. Let's see. -No. I'm the same.
-Just hand sanitizer, just... -Yeah? Uh-huh.
...put a little bit on. You know, just, um...
(slow, sexy, instrumental music plays)
(applause and cheering)
Wait. Yeah.
You didn't put the music on for Trevor.
Do his again with the music. That's...
(music fades out)
They've never played music for me.
-I... -Never.
I've worked in this building seven years.
They've never played music.
That music was, like, '70s porn, though, right?
Was it? Or was that just me?
I think that music was, like, from a documentary,
-and then, you made it porn. -(laughter)
The music was like, "I'm from a documentary,
-but for Idris Elba, I will turn into porn." -(laughter)
Right. I don't even know why I'm doing this-- blowing your nose.
No one's sexy when they blow their nose.
I'll blow my nose. All right.
(blowing nose)
-All right. -(laughter)
I don't even know... This is a waste of time,
-but just whatever. Let's see. -Are you sure, man?
-Yeah, yeah, let's... We may as well. -Okay, cool.
Um, yeah.
(blowing loudly, grunting)
Oh! Oh!
-There's something where you're not sexy! -(applause, cheering)
Yes! Yes! There's something where he's not sexy!
Yes! We did it!
Idris Elba is not always sexy!
(both laughing)
Idris Elba, everybody. We'll be right back.
Let's do it again, man. Let me...
-(applause and cheering) Well, that's our show for tonight,
but before we go, before we go,
