let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world.
27
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:26,153
Let's kick things off
in public health news.
28
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:29,089
The FDA has issued
new guidelines
29
00:01:29,189 --> 00:01:32,693
as to which foods
can be labeled "healthy."
30
00:01:32,793 --> 00:01:36,663
And that now includes
nuts and salmon.
31
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:40,300
And as much
as I appreciate that...
32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,802
I didn't need the government
to tell me
33
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:43,470
that salmon is healthy.
34
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:45,105
We all know that
because that's the thing
35
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:46,640
that people order at weddings
when they want to let you know
36
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:48,275
that they're better
than everyone else.
37
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:51,378
"Oh... Oh, yeah,
I'll have the salmon. Eh."
38
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:54,448
In international news,
the queen of Denmark
39
00:01:54,548 --> 00:01:57,217
has stripped her grandchildrel--
grandchildren
40
00:01:57,317 --> 00:01:58,785
of their royal titles.
Yeah.
41
00:01:58,886 --> 00:02:01,088
Because she says
she doesn't want them
42
00:02:01,188 --> 00:02:04,825
to be "limited"
by their royal duties.
43
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:08,295
Which is the most posh way ever
to say, "Bitch, get a job."
44
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,133
Yeah, those grandkids
must have been so grateful.
45
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:15,302
It's just like, "Wow, Grandma,
thanks for not forcing me
46
00:02:15,402 --> 00:02:18,672
"to be a prince anymore.
I really hated all the attention
47
00:02:18,772 --> 00:02:20,507
"and the free jewelry.
I love being known as
48
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:23,810

known as prince. Thank you."
49
00:02:23,911 --> 00:02:25,879
It's so funny
how the British monarchy
50
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:28,115

00:02:28,215 --> 00:02:29,516

Oh, in gaming news--
this is a fun one--
55
00:02:35,222 --> 00:02:38,892
uh, the maker of the card game
Uno has come out officially
56
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:41,195
and updated its rules to clarify
57
00:02:41,295 --> 00:02:43,463
that you cannot play a Draw 2
58
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:45,432
on top of another Draw 2
59
00:02:45,532 --> 00:02:46,834

-That's it. That's it.
-(audience groaning)

I-I agree with you.
I mean, like, who-who makes--
64
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,546
who makes these rules?
65
00:02:59,646 --> 00:03:01,081
I will say it is cool
that they're doing it, you know?
66
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:04,051
If they ask me, we need to fix
more game rules. You know?
67
00:03:04,084 --> 00:03:05,285
Forget Uno.
I think that works.
68
00:03:05,385 --> 00:03:08,555
Monopoly needs prison reform.

00:03:08,655 --> 00:03:10,757
Yeah, my brother gets, like,
nine turns buying up

No justice, no peace!
73
00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:19,366
But let's move on to some of
the biggest stories of the day,
74
00:03:19,466 --> 00:03:21,468
starting with the fallout
from Hurricane Ian.
75
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:23,837
Last night,
the monster storm hit Florida
76
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:26,473
like Florida just came home
with a report card full of Fs,
77
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:28,475
flooding the streets,
destroying homes
78
00:03:28,575 --> 00:03:30,911
and infrastructure and
leaving millions without power.
79
00:03:31,078 --> 00:03:33,113
Now, the good news is
that people
80
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,516
took all the advance warning
seriously,
81
00:03:35,616 --> 00:03:38,819
so despite the destruction,
there were very few casualties.
82
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,288
And as the storm recedes,
we're learning about
83
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,924
some amazing ways
that the people of Florida
84
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:46,860
have pulled together
while the storm was raging.
85
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,396
Over my shoulder here,
you can see the incredible power
86
00:03:49,496 --> 00:03:52,900
of Hurricane Ian, but now comes,
as we've already seen,
87
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,203
the selfless power of people.
88
00:03:56,303 --> 00:03:59,173
Neighbors, friends,
even complete strangers
89
00:03:59,273 --> 00:04:01,475
doing whatever they can to help.
90
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:04,578
Rescues on shore and on land.
91
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:07,814
Firefighters helping
a woman escape floodwaters,
92
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,050
But the fire department
also thanking
93
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:11,752
local jet skiers
for helping out,
94
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:16,256
writing, "Sometimes we need a
ride to the rescue ourselves."
95
00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:19,760
In Bonita Beach, one Good
Samaritan braving the elements

00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:24,298
to save a cat trapped outside
on an air conditioner.
97
00:04:24,398 --> 00:04:26,767
MAN: Many of the sailboats
are on their side.
98
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:29,069
There was a-a guy who went on
to... to, uh,
99
00:04:29,136 --> 00:04:31,572
to get his three pets off
that were still on the boat.
100
00:04:31,672 --> 00:04:34,675
SANDERS: In Saint Petersburg,
staff at a botanical gardens
101
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:39,446
hunkering down with flamingos
to see them through the storm.
102
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:41,615
-Wow.
-(applause)
103
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:44,885
Wow. That is amazing.
104
00:04:44,985 --> 00:04:48,488
That's so nice, just to see,
like, everybody coming together.
105
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:51,225
You know, helping, cats,
helping the flamingos.
106
00:04:51,325 --> 00:04:54,962
I mean, I mean, it's nice, but
do flamingos need more help
107
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:56,363
than humans in a hurricane?
108
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:57,764
It's just weird.
109
00:04:57,865 --> 00:04:59,600
It's like, "Don't worry
flamingos, I'll protect you."
110
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:01,335
Flamingos are like,
"Uh, we're the waterbird, dude.
111
00:05:01,435 --> 00:05:03,737
-We'll protect you."
-(laughter)
112
00:05:03,837 --> 00:05:05,472
But this is all amazing, right?
113
00:05:05,572 --> 00:05:07,708
The response to the storm
was so powerful
114
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:10,210
that it led to something
we've never seen before--
115
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,412
jet skiers being responsible.
116
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:13,881
(laughter)
117
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,349
Yeah, imagine that.
118
00:05:15,449 --> 00:05:16,950
Getting rescued by a Jet Ski
is so awesome
119
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:19,086
because it doesn't matter how
exhausted or emotional you are,
120
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:21,421
you can't stay that way
on a Jet Ski, right?
121
00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:23,690
Yeah, you're gonna be there,
like, "Oh, my God, thank you.
122
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:25,058
"Thank you, I owe you my life.
123
00:05:25,092 --> 00:05:27,661
"All right, shred it, bro!
Yeah! Whoo!
124
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:30,564
Crank that diesel, bitch!"
125
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:32,099
(applause)
126
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:35,502
And as for the people
rescuing the cat,
127
00:05:35,602 --> 00:05:37,404
that is true selflessness.
128
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:38,906
Because that's somebody
who's going,
129
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:41,074
"Look, we lost everything,
our house is destroyed,
130
00:05:41,141 --> 00:05:44,278
"we don't have power but--
and hear me out on this--
131
00:05:44,378 --> 00:05:47,080
"what if we also had our faces
scratched to shit, huh?
132
00:05:47,181 --> 00:05:49,082
What do you think?"
133
00:05:49,183 --> 00:05:50,951
It really is beautiful to see.
134
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:52,319
But let's move on
135
00:05:52,419 --> 00:05:55,088
because while Florida
is recovering from this storm,
136
00:05:55,155 --> 00:05:57,791
there is still the storm that
is always hitting America:
137
00:05:57,891 --> 00:05:59,693
Donald J. Trump.
138
00:05:59,793 --> 00:06:01,061
WOMAN: New revelations
on the final days
139
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:04,031
of former President
Donald Trump's presidency.
140
00:06:04,064 --> 00:06:06,567
In reporting provided to CNN
from a forthcoming book
141
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:09,102
by New York Times reporter
Maggie Haberman,
142
00:06:09,203 --> 00:06:12,039
Trump repeatedly told aides
following his election loss
143
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:14,775
that he would refuse to leave
the White House.
144
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:17,544
Haberman's book reports
that Trump told one aide,
145
00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:19,813
"I'm just not going to leave."
146
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:23,116
Haberman reports Trump quizzed
nearly everyone around him
147
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:25,185
on how to stay in power.
148
00:06:25,285 --> 00:06:26,920
Among those he reportedly asked,
149
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:28,889
the valet who brought him
Diet Coke
150
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:32,459
when Trump pressed a red button
on his Oval Office desk.
151
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:34,595
(laughter)
152
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:38,665
I'm... (laughing)
153
00:06:38,765 --> 00:06:42,169
Oh, man, that-that is
so much pressure...
154
00:06:42,269 --> 00:06:44,071
to put on your soda guy.
155
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:45,672
(laughter)
156
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:48,475
Like, he asked the valet
who brings him the Diet Coke?
157
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:50,577
He was just like, "Soda boy,
I need you to make me
158
00:06:50,677 --> 00:06:51,912
"the emperor of America.
159
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:53,180
How do I do it? How do...?"
160
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,182
He's just like, "Uh... yeah,
161
00:06:55,282 --> 00:06:58,085
I just got a Coke Zero, man."
162
00:06:58,118 --> 00:07:00,621
You know, if I'm honest,
I-I-I think it is less weird
163
00:07:00,721 --> 00:07:03,156
to get advice
from your Diet Coke valet
164
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:07,160
and more weird to have
a Diet Coke valet.
165
00:07:07,261 --> 00:07:08,295
But, I mean,
once you've got him,
166
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:09,563
you might as well get his input,
right?
167
00:07:09,663 --> 00:07:10,764
Just be like,
"Yeah, what do you think
168
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:13,033
about how to overtake
a country, huh?"
169
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,068
The real travesty to me is
that Trump didn't follow through
170
00:07:15,169 --> 00:07:17,838
with his plan
of just not leaving.
171
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:20,507
Yeah, that would have been
exciting.
172
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,176
Yeah, I would have loved
to have seen the FBI
173
00:07:22,276 --> 00:07:23,510
chasing Trump around
the White House
174
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:25,279
like an episode
of Scooby-Doo, right?
175
00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:26,513
They chase him through one door,
176
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,248
he chases them
through another door,
177
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:29,783
and then they're all
being chased by ghosts.
178
00:07:29,883 --> 00:07:30,918
He's just like, "Ruh-roh.
179
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:32,619
"Many people are saying
'Ruh-roh.'
180
00:07:32,719 --> 00:07:34,054
"Ruh-roh.
181
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:38,425
So much danger, Scoob,
so much danger."
182
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,062
But let's move on...
183
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:43,664
Let's move on
from the previous administration
184
00:07:43,764 --> 00:07:44,665
to the current one.
185
00:07:44,765 --> 00:07:46,433
As you all know, Joe Biden
186
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:48,435
is the president
of the United States.
187
00:07:48,535 --> 00:07:51,071
But what if I told you
there's also
188
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,540
a vice president
of the United States?
189
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,142
Yeah, it's true, it's true.
190
00:07:55,242 --> 00:07:57,211
Her name is Kamala Harris.
191
00:07:57,311 --> 00:07:59,213
"What?!" I can hear you now.
192
00:07:59,313 --> 00:08:00,881
"If that's the case, Trevor,
how come I've never seen her?
193
00:08:01,014 --> 00:08:02,316
"What are you gonna
tell me next?
194
00:08:02,416 --> 00:08:05,152
Slender Man is real and
I should kill my family? Okay."
195
00:08:05,252 --> 00:08:07,321
Well, I can't speak
to the veracity of Slender Man,
196
00:08:07,421 --> 00:08:11,825
but I do have proof
that Kamala Harris exists,
197
00:08:11,925 --> 00:08:15,262
and she was just spotted
in South Korea.
198
00:08:15,362 --> 00:08:17,231
NEWSWOMAN: Overnight, Vice
President Kamala Harris arrived
199
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:21,401
in South Korea for the last leg
of her four-day trip to Asia.
200
00:08:21,502 --> 00:08:24,805
She paid a visit
to the Demilitarized Zone
201
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:27,508
that divides
the Korean Peninsula.
202
00:08:27,608 --> 00:08:30,143
The move is to demonstrate
America's commitment
203
00:08:30,244 --> 00:08:31,945
to its Asian allies.
204
00:08:32,045 --> 00:08:35,549
Well played, Kamala,
well played.
205
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:37,317
If there's one way
to remind people you exist,
206
00:08:37,417 --> 00:08:40,120
it's to go stand at the border
between North and South Korea.
207
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,856
Now everybody knows your name.
208
00:08:42,956 --> 00:08:45,058
Yeah, it's the same way
no one knew that I existed
209
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:46,527
in high school-- nobody--
210
00:08:46,627 --> 00:08:49,730
until the day I streaked naked
across the football field.
211
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:51,598
And from then on, everyone knew
212
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:54,434
One-Testicle Trev was
in our school.
213
00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:56,503
Oh, they knew me.
214
00:08:56,603 --> 00:08:58,772
They all know me.
215
00:09:00,641 --> 00:09:02,509
Anyway, because this is
such a major moment
216
00:09:02,609 --> 00:09:04,011
on Vice President Harris's trip,
217
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:06,680
we go live
to our very own Ronny Chieng,
218
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:09,116
who is
in the Demilitarized Zone.
219
00:09:09,216 --> 00:09:12,486
Ronny, how is it going
over there?
220
00:09:12,586 --> 00:09:14,421
Oh, Trevor, yeah,
it's going really well.
221
00:09:14,521 --> 00:09:16,356
Thanks so much for sending me
here, by the way.
222
00:09:16,456 --> 00:09:19,826
Great assignment,
not racist at all.
223
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:22,596
Anyway, uh, the vice
president was just here,
224
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:24,464
and she just walked
up to the border
225
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,333
with her giant cell binoculars
226
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:29,169
and then stared at North Korea
like a geopolitical pervert.
227
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:33,073
And, honestly, Trevor,
I don't get it.
228
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:34,308
Why is she here?
229
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:35,375
Why am I here?
230
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:36,777
Why's anybody here?
231
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:37,878
What are you guys
even looking for?
232
00:09:38,045 --> 00:09:39,479
You think
you're gonna see something
233
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:42,316
that all the generals
and the satellites missed?
234
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:44,251
It's like, "Oh, look, look,
they forgot to lock the gate.
235
00:09:44,351 --> 00:09:46,253
Let's go, go now."
236
00:09:46,353 --> 00:09:47,521
Bunch of idiots.
237
00:09:47,621 --> 00:09:48,689
Honestly, what's she looking at?
238
00:09:48,789 --> 00:09:49,957
What-what is it?
What-what...?
239
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:51,825
You know what?
Let me just look out for myself.
240
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:53,160
All right, what's...?
241
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,462
Oh, oh, look, it's,
it's Kim Jong Un,
242
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:57,464
and, uh...
243
00:09:57,564 --> 00:10:00,367
Oh, looks like he's, uh,
watching me on The Daily Show.
244
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:01,735
(chuckles)
245
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:03,937
Oh, maybe that guy's
not all that bad after all.
246
00:10:04,037 --> 00:10:08,041
Hey, hey! Hey, Kimmy, yo,
follow me back on I.G., man!
247
00:10:08,141 --> 00:10:10,477
Uh, anyway, uh,
the vice president was here
248
00:10:10,577 --> 00:10:13,313
to strengthen America's alliance
with South Korea,
249
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:15,048
uh, against North Korea,
250
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:16,917
and let's just see
how that went. (clears throat)
251
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:20,053
NEWSWOMAN: An embarrassing gaffe
by Vice President Harris today
252
00:10:20,153 --> 00:10:23,257
when she affirmed America's
alliance with the wrong Korea.
253
00:10:23,357 --> 00:10:25,792
So the United States
254
00:10:25,893 --> 00:10:28,495
shares
a very important relationship,
255
00:10:28,595 --> 00:10:32,499
which is an alliance with
the Republic of North Korea.
256
00:10:32,599 --> 00:10:36,570
And it is an alliance
that is strong and enduring.
257
00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:38,739
(laughter, groaning)
258
00:10:38,839 --> 00:10:40,507
Wow!
259
00:10:40,607 --> 00:10:45,312
Wow! You think North Korea
is South Korea?
260
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:49,716
So I guess all Asian countries
look the same to you, huh?
261
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,919
Madam Vice President.
262
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:54,922
What's next, you're gonna
mix me up with Simu Liu?
263
00:10:55,022 --> 00:10:56,990
Huh?
264
00:10:57,090 --> 00:10:58,659
Seriously, c-can you?
265
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:00,060
Could-could you do that, please?
266
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,896
Because I-I would totally be
fine with that. (chuckles)
267
00:11:03,063 --> 00:11:04,498
No, no, no, no, no. I'm
just joking. I'm just joking.
268
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:06,867
We're just joking. Everyone,
we're just joking, okay,
269
00:11:06,967 --> 00:11:08,068
Madam Vice President.
270
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:09,736
Nobody give her a hard time
about this
271
00:11:09,837 --> 00:11:12,806
or we won't see her again
for another six months.
272
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:14,241
All right, back to you, Trevor.
273
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:15,776
Hey, uh, hey, Kim! Hey, Kim!
274
00:11:15,876 --> 00:11:17,511
Uh, yo, yo, yo! Uh...
(chuckles)
275
00:11:17,611 --> 00:11:20,547
Hey, uh, why don't you check out
my comedy special on Netflix?
276
00:11:20,647 --> 00:11:22,416
Yeah, use Trevor's password.
It's, uh,
277
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:23,750
-"ILoveBigButts..."
-Oh, no, no! No, no, no!
278
00:11:23,851 --> 00:11:25,085
All right, all right,
thank you so much, Ronny Chieng!
279
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:26,720
Thank you so much.
Ronny Chieng, everybody!
280
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,689
(cheering and applause)
281
00:11:28,789 --> 00:11:30,557
Thank you so much.
282
00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:33,260
Not my password.
Not my password.
283
00:11:34,328 --> 00:11:35,863
All right, uh...
284
00:11:37,664 --> 00:11:39,800
Before we go, I was, uh...
285
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,603
I was chatting to Roy Wood Jr.,
uh, yesterday
286
00:11:42,703 --> 00:11:44,271
when we finished, uh, the show
287
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:46,173
and he reminded me
288
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:49,343
that it has been seven years
289
00:11:49,443 --> 00:11:52,713
since we started The Daily Show
with Trevor Noah.
290
00:11:52,813 --> 00:11:53,981
-(cheering and applause)
-Yeah.
291
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:56,116
This week is our anniversary.
292
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:57,551
And...
293
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,923
O-One of the--
one of the overriding feelings
294
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:05,158
I-I found myself experiencing
295
00:12:05,259 --> 00:12:07,828
throughout the night and-and
even today waking up was...
296
00:12:07,928 --> 00:12:10,330
was a feeling of gratitude,
you know?
297
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:12,199
Ronny, like,
the journey we've been t--
298
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:13,667
on together has been wild.
299
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:16,336
You know, Roy. You know, all
the correspondents. Everyone.
300
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:18,906
There's so many people who-who
make this thing come together.
301
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,641
And I want to say thank you
to the audience
302
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:21,975
for an amazing seven years.
303
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:23,443
It's been wild. It's been...
304
00:12:23,544 --> 00:12:25,846
-it's been truly wild.
-(cheering and applause)
305
00:12:25,946 --> 00:12:27,114
You know?
306
00:12:27,214 --> 00:12:28,782
I, uh...
307
00:12:32,119 --> 00:12:33,554
I...
308
00:12:35,656 --> 00:12:37,090
I remember when...
309
00:12:38,792 --> 00:12:40,794
I remember when--
I remember when...
310
00:12:40,894 --> 00:12:41,995
when we first started--
311
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:44,398
and you-you remember this,
Ronny-- it was...
312
00:12:44,498 --> 00:12:46,300
You know, so many people
didn't believe in us.
313
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,268
It was a crazy bet to make.
314
00:12:48,368 --> 00:12:50,504
I mean, I-I still think
it was a crazy choice.
315
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:53,207
Um, you know,
this-this random African
316
00:12:53,307 --> 00:12:56,343
that's bringing a Chinese guy
from Malaysia and...
317
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,545
-(laughs)
-Chinese guys with accents
318
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:00,047
-on American TV. Yeah.
-You know? Um...
319
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,549
Yeah, man. And-and what
a journey it's been.
320
00:13:02,649 --> 00:13:04,284
Every single one of you
who comes here to support us
321
00:13:04,384 --> 00:13:06,453
every single day, everybody
who's-who's watched the show,
322
00:13:06,553 --> 00:13:08,655
and then it's grown
all around the world and...
323
00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:10,691
You know, I recently went
to India for the first time,
324
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:12,292
and there are people there
who, you know,
325
00:13:12,392 --> 00:13:13,527
have supported everything
that we've done.
326
00:13:13,627 --> 00:13:16,730
And I-I just found myself
filled with gratitude
327
00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:18,098
for-for the journey.
328
00:13:18,198 --> 00:13:20,400
It's been--
it's been absolutely amazing.
329
00:13:20,501 --> 00:13:22,736
It's something
that I never expected.
330
00:13:22,836 --> 00:13:26,607
And I found myself thinking
throughout the time,
331
00:13:26,707 --> 00:13:28,375
you know,
everything we've gone through.
332
00:13:28,475 --> 00:13:30,811
You know, the Trump presidency,
the pandemic,
333
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:34,414
just the journey of,
you know, the more pandemic.
334
00:13:34,515 --> 00:13:36,917
-Um...
-(laughter)
335
00:13:37,084 --> 00:13:38,752
And then... and I realized
336
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:42,289
that after the seven years,
um, my time is up.
337
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:45,092
-(gasping, clamoring)
-I... uh... -MAN: We love you.
338
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:49,429
Yeah. But in the most... in the
most beautiful way, honestly.
339
00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:52,232
I... I've loved
hosting this show.
340
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:54,601
It's been one
of my greatest challenges.
341
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:56,737
It's been one
of my greatest joys.
342
00:13:56,837 --> 00:14:00,507
I-I... I've loved trying
to figure out
343
00:14:00,607 --> 00:14:01,909
how to make people laugh
344
00:14:02,042 --> 00:14:04,144
even when the stories
are particularly shitty
345
00:14:04,244 --> 00:14:05,712
on the worst days, you know?
346
00:14:05,812 --> 00:14:07,881
We've laughed together,
we've cried together.
347
00:14:08,048 --> 00:14:10,851
Um, but after seven years,
348
00:14:10,951 --> 00:14:14,454
I feel like it's-it's...
it's time, you know?
349
00:14:14,555 --> 00:14:17,457
I spent two years, um,
in my apartment
350
00:14:17,558 --> 00:14:19,293
not on the road.
You know, standup was done.
351
00:14:19,393 --> 00:14:23,063
And-and when I got back out
there again, I realized
352
00:14:23,130 --> 00:14:24,965
there's another part
of my life that I want to...
353
00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:26,900
I want to carry on exploring,
you know?
354
00:14:27,067 --> 00:14:28,435
I miss learning other languages.
355
00:14:28,535 --> 00:14:31,071
I miss going to other countries
and putting on shows.
356
00:14:31,171 --> 00:14:34,908
I, you know, miss just being
everywhere, doing everything.
357
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:38,078
And I'm really grateful to every
single person who's here.
358
00:14:38,145 --> 00:14:39,580
Even the people
who aren't here right now,
359
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,981
'cause they went on
to do great things,
360
00:14:41,081 --> 00:14:42,382
who helped us do this thing.
361
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:46,687
Um, you know, it's a...
it's a weird thing to say.
362
00:14:46,787 --> 00:14:50,123
I've never been good
at, uh... at goodbyes.
363
00:14:50,224 --> 00:14:51,692
And it's not instant.
I'm not disappearing.
364
00:14:51,792 --> 00:14:53,160
-Don't worry.
-(laughter)
365
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:56,129
-If I owe you money,
I'll still pay you. -(laughter)
366
00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:58,999
Um, and I'm really grateful,
you know, to a network
367
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:02,369
who believed in just
this random comedian nobody knew
368
00:15:02,469 --> 00:15:04,538
on this side of the world,
you know?
369
00:15:04,638 --> 00:15:06,173
South Africans knew
and loved me.
370
00:15:06,273 --> 00:15:08,408
-Yeah. You know.
-(laughter)
371
00:15:08,509 --> 00:15:12,579
And, um... and yeah. You know,
Paramount has been amazing.
372
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,047
ViacomCBS has been amazing.
373
00:15:14,147 --> 00:15:16,617
Bob Bakish, who believed in me,
Chris McCarthy, Keyes.
374
00:15:16,717 --> 00:15:17,951
You know,
even the previous team.
375
00:15:18,051 --> 00:15:20,654
Kent and Sara
and Michelle and Doug.
376
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:22,589
And, uh, I've been lucky enough
377
00:15:22,689 --> 00:15:24,291
to be doing multiple projects
with them,
378
00:15:24,391 --> 00:15:26,760
and I've been inspired
by new ways
379
00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:28,395
to express myself, you know?
380
00:15:28,495 --> 00:15:30,531
Whether it be hosting a White
House Correspondents' Dinner,
381
00:15:30,631 --> 00:15:33,066
or doing different standup shows
around the world.
382
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,435
Whatever it may be.
The point is, um,
383
00:15:35,536 --> 00:15:39,173
I want to say thank you to you,
and to you who watch this,
384
00:15:39,273 --> 00:15:42,509
and to you who come,
and sometimes you do both.
385
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:45,646
Um, 'cause, man, I-I never...
386
00:15:45,746 --> 00:15:48,081
I never dreamed
that I would be here.
387
00:15:48,182 --> 00:15:49,983
I sort of felt like, uh, Charlie
in the chocolate factory.
388
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:53,086
I came in for a tour
of what the previous show was,
389
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,556
and then the next thing I know,
I was handed the keys.
390
00:15:55,656 --> 00:15:58,692
Um, but, uh, I-I couldn't
have done it without you,
391
00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:00,394
and I wouldn't have wanted
to do it without you.
392
00:16:00,494 --> 00:16:03,797
And so, uh, we'll figure out
the timings and the whens.
393
00:16:03,897 --> 00:16:06,834
You know, we'll still be here
for the time being,
394
00:16:06,934 --> 00:16:09,536
but, uh, all I can say is,
thank you very much.
395
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:11,538
-You've...
-(applause and cheering)
396
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:15,042
...truly made this,
you, too, have made this
397
00:16:15,075 --> 00:16:18,045
one of the best experiences
of my life.
398
00:16:19,046 --> 00:16:21,682
Ah.
399
00:16:21,782 --> 00:16:23,817
(applause, cheering, whooping)
400
00:16:49,443 --> 00:16:51,478
♪ ♪
401
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,717
One of the most
the most frustrating things
402
00:16:56,817 --> 00:16:59,853
about the Internet for me
is that--
403
00:16:59,953 --> 00:17:01,755
I don't know if it's
creative people who do this
404
00:17:01,855 --> 00:17:04,024
or it's-it's encouraged them.
405
00:17:04,124 --> 00:17:07,060
But... it makes it feel like
406
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,430
people are less inclined
to listen
407
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:14,067
and more inclined
to want to immediately,
408
00:17:14,167 --> 00:17:16,603
like, dunk on a person
or an idea or a--
409
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:18,538
Do you know what I mean?
But they don't engage anymore.
410
00:17:18,638 --> 00:17:19,673
People don't engage.
People just want to be,
411
00:17:19,773 --> 00:17:22,409
"Aha! Ah!
What about? What about?"
412
00:17:22,509 --> 00:17:24,378
The reason I-the reason
I talk about that is because
413
00:17:24,478 --> 00:17:27,881
of the story in Iran
that's happening right now.
414
00:17:27,981 --> 00:17:29,816
I-I'm sure you-you all know it,
but if you don't,
415
00:17:29,916 --> 00:17:32,219
what's happening in Iran is
416
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:33,720
many people are going
in-into the streets--
417
00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:36,123
predominantly women, protest--
protesting in the streets--
418
00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:39,626
against, um, the government
of Iran and against, uh,
419
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:41,161
what they call
the morality police
420
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:43,630
that has been getting stricter
and stricter
421
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:45,899
every single regime in Iran,
where they force women,
422
00:17:45,999 --> 00:17:47,768
you know, to wear the hijab
and then, like,
423
00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:49,536
how they wear it
is also important.
424
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,605
It's just, like, basically just
a bunch of random dudes
425
00:17:51,705 --> 00:17:53,774
policing women.
"You're not moral enough."
426
00:17:53,874 --> 00:17:55,575
And it-it's-it's oftentimes--
427
00:17:55,676 --> 00:17:56,710
There's no rhyme,
there's no reason.
428
00:17:56,810 --> 00:17:58,145
They just harass women.
429
00:17:58,245 --> 00:18:01,415
And so now after a woman
named Mahsa Amini
430
00:18:01,548 --> 00:18:05,319
was taken into custody
by the Iranian morality police,
431
00:18:05,419 --> 00:18:06,553
she died, right?
432
00:18:06,653 --> 00:18:08,555
She was 22 years old
and she died.
433
00:18:08,622 --> 00:18:11,391
And so women in Iran have
just poured out into the streets
434
00:18:11,558 --> 00:18:13,560
and they-they just said, "We're
not taking this shit anymore.
435
00:18:13,593 --> 00:18:14,928
We're fighting for our rights."
436
00:18:15,028 --> 00:18:16,630
It's one of the biggest
movements people have ever seen
437
00:18:16,730 --> 00:18:18,332
-in Iran.
-(cheering and applause)
438
00:18:18,432 --> 00:18:20,200
But...
439
00:18:21,168 --> 00:18:23,337
But what's so...
440
00:18:23,437 --> 00:18:25,172
what's so disappointing
is-is seeing--
441
00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:26,440
and I-I guess
it's the Internet--
442
00:18:26,573 --> 00:18:30,043
but you see people
who now use this
443
00:18:30,143 --> 00:18:31,778
as an opportunity
444
00:18:31,878 --> 00:18:35,248
to dunk on a religion
that they hate.
445
00:18:35,349 --> 00:18:36,416
You know? So they're like,
446
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:39,219
"Oh, so now we're saying
the hijab is bad?"
447
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,054
and "Oh, yeah, you see?
Islam, I thought..."
448
00:18:41,154 --> 00:18:43,590
And it's like, no, no, if you
understood what was happening,
449
00:18:43,623 --> 00:18:46,593
if you took the time to read
beyond a tweet or a headline,
450
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:49,663
what you'd understand is those
women in Iran are not saying,
451
00:18:49,763 --> 00:18:52,799
"We're against people
practicing their religion."
452
00:18:52,899 --> 00:18:55,535
What they're saying is,
"We are against the government
453
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:59,239
"forcing everybody
to practice one religion
454
00:18:59,339 --> 00:19:01,208
and practice it in one way."
455
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:02,342
That's what they're saying.
456
00:19:02,442 --> 00:19:03,844
(applause)
457
00:19:03,944 --> 00:19:05,979
There's a big difference
between the two.
458
00:19:08,682 --> 00:19:09,750
Like, I've-I've always believed
that.
459
00:19:09,850 --> 00:19:10,984
Like...
(stammers)
460
00:19:11,084 --> 00:19:12,185
Have whatever religion you want.
461
00:19:12,285 --> 00:19:13,453
Worship however you want.
462
00:19:13,553 --> 00:19:14,755
As long as it doesn't hurt
somebody else,
463
00:19:14,855 --> 00:19:16,156
yeah, that's-that's
your religion.
464
00:19:16,256 --> 00:19:17,991
That's fine, you know?
465
00:19:18,091 --> 00:19:19,993
But once it becomes
a government saying
466
00:19:20,093 --> 00:19:21,995
you have to, and you shouldn't,
467
00:19:22,095 --> 00:19:23,463
and this is how you have
to do it, it becomes...
468
00:19:23,563 --> 00:19:25,599
You know what I mean?
It becomes this big thing
469
00:19:25,699 --> 00:19:27,300
where they're, like,
oppressing people, as well.
470
00:19:27,401 --> 00:19:28,769
Because it's not even...
471
00:19:28,869 --> 00:19:30,070
There's even stories
where they'll say like,
472
00:19:30,170 --> 00:19:31,872
"Oh, the hijab wasn't on
tight enough,
473
00:19:31,972 --> 00:19:34,675
the scarf wasn't tight enough
on the woman's hair."
474
00:19:34,775 --> 00:19:37,444
It's, like, who is defining
this, and why, more importantly?
475
00:19:37,577 --> 00:19:38,645
You get the people
on the Internet that are like,
476
00:19:38,745 --> 00:19:39,913
"Yeah, we're against...
477
00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:41,581
In fact, burn them everywhere.
Burn them."
478
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:43,016
And it's like,
"Well, I see what you're doing.
479
00:19:43,116 --> 00:19:45,252
-You are being an asshole."
-(laughter)
480
00:19:45,352 --> 00:19:47,187
That's what you're doing.
481
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:49,256
-(applause)
-You know?
482
00:19:55,329 --> 00:19:58,031
That's what they should have
on social media, as well.
483
00:19:58,131 --> 00:20:00,901
-They should also
verify assholes. -(laughter)
484
00:20:01,001 --> 00:20:02,803
Yeah, just like,
"Oh, verified asshole.
485
00:20:02,903 --> 00:20:04,538
Okay. Now I know
what I'm dealing with."
486
00:20:04,638 --> 00:20:06,540
Then I would even click.
487
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,642
I'd be like, "But what
are the assholes saying?
488
00:20:08,742 --> 00:20:11,578
Oh. Oh,
that's an interesting point."
489
00:20:14,615 --> 00:20:16,650

00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,523
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
My guest tonight
491
00:20:22,623 --> 00:20:25,259
is a legendary supermodel,
philanthropist and entrepreneur.
492
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,594
She's here to talk
about her new docuseries
493
00:20:27,694 --> 00:20:30,697
that explores Black models'
impact on the fashion industry
494
00:20:30,797 --> 00:20:33,033
and American culture.
The first two episodes
495
00:20:33,133 --> 00:20:36,069
of Supreme Models are available
right now on YouTube,
496
00:20:36,170 --> 00:20:38,205
with new episodes to follow.
497
00:20:38,305 --> 00:20:41,041
If it wasn't for them,
we would have been overlooked.
498
00:20:41,141 --> 00:20:43,544
We can't move forward
without Black creativity.
499
00:20:43,644 --> 00:20:46,747
The new generation,
they want a revolution.
500

509
00:21:21,215 --> 00:21:23,283
-thinking you're famous.
-Thank you. Thank you very much.
510
00:21:23,383 --> 00:21:25,719
And I-- Just like
an African grandmother, yeah?
511
00:21:25,786 --> 00:21:27,187
-(laughs)
-They're all the same.
512
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:28,856
-They're all the same. Yeah.
-They're all the same. They're--
513
00:21:28,956 --> 00:21:31,358
They think our name
now is famous.
514
00:21:31,458 --> 00:21:33,627
Well, I feel like your name
could be famous
515
00:21:33,727 --> 00:21:37,498
because you are synonymous
with the fashion industry.
516
00:21:37,598 --> 00:21:39,533
You're synonymous
beyond the fashion industry,
517
00:21:39,633 --> 00:21:41,368
and-and when I heard you were
making a docuseries
518
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:44,471
about the impact that
Black models have made
519
00:21:44,571 --> 00:21:47,908
on-on not just the fashion
industry but America as a whole,
520
00:21:48,008 --> 00:21:49,576
I was really intrigued,
and I was surprised and shocked.
521
00:21:49,743 --> 00:21:51,044
Because many people would say,
522
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:52,279
-okay, we understand maybe...
-Yeah.
523
00:21:52,379 --> 00:21:54,214
how Black people
have influenced fashion,
524
00:21:54,314 --> 00:21:56,850
but Black models in-in
the world of Civil Rights?
525
00:21:56,950 --> 00:21:59,286
How did you even begin
to know about the story
526
00:21:59,386 --> 00:22:00,587
and want to tell it?
527
00:22:00,754 --> 00:22:02,022
Well, uh, they, um...
528
00:22:02,122 --> 00:22:05,325
YouTube and the directors
contacted me during COVID,
529
00:22:05,425 --> 00:22:08,095
-and they said that they wanted
to do this docuseries -Uh-huh.
530
00:22:08,195 --> 00:22:10,631
and, um, about Black beauty
531
00:22:10,764 --> 00:22:13,901
and Black, specifically,
the history of Black models.
532
00:22:14,001 --> 00:22:15,969
And I said to them, "What will
you bring to the table
533
00:22:16,069 --> 00:22:17,538
that is new?"
534
00:22:17,704 --> 00:22:20,941
And they said, "There is no
documentary on Black beauty
535
00:22:21,041 --> 00:22:22,843
or Black models ever."
536
00:22:22,943 --> 00:22:25,445
-What? Wow.
-This is the first.
537
00:22:25,546 --> 00:22:28,549
So automatically, of course,
I said, "Yeah, I'm on board."
538
00:22:28,715 --> 00:22:30,717
But what I really wanted
to make sure
539
00:22:30,751 --> 00:22:33,854
is that I wanted
to-to, uh, to highlight
540
00:22:33,954 --> 00:22:36,824
not just the trial and
tribulations of Black models
541
00:22:36,924 --> 00:22:38,292
-in this industry,
-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
542
00:22:38,392 --> 00:22:42,162
-but the joy and the
celebration. Yeah? -I love that.
543
00:22:42,262 --> 00:22:44,031
I love that.
544
00:22:44,131 --> 00:22:45,566
-I love that.
-Yeah.
545
00:22:45,732 --> 00:22:48,202
Because I feel like that is,
that is the journey, you know.
546
00:22:48,302 --> 00:22:50,270
Trials, tribulations,
but the joy as well,
547
00:22:50,370 --> 00:22:52,039
which is oftentimes
overlooked in many stories.
548
00:22:52,139 --> 00:22:55,008
Exactly, exactly,
you know, uh, the...
549
00:22:55,108 --> 00:22:57,845
-And also the-- as culture.
-Mm-hmm.
550
00:22:57,945 --> 00:23:01,482
I mean, the, the,
the cri de coeur in the '60s
551
00:23:01,582 --> 00:23:03,217
-was "Black is beautiful."
-Yes.
552
00:23:03,317 --> 00:23:05,018
That hasn't changed.
553
00:23:05,118 --> 00:23:07,754
We are just now a tribe
of Black beauties.
554
00:23:07,855 --> 00:23:09,156
-I love that.
-Yeah.
555
00:23:09,256 --> 00:23:11,825
-I love that.
-(applause)
556
00:23:11,925 --> 00:23:14,595
You're now showcasing
a generation
557
00:23:14,695 --> 00:23:15,829
from the current models
558
00:23:15,929 --> 00:23:17,898
all the way through
to many of the pioneers.
559
00:23:17,998 --> 00:23:20,167
All the Naomi Sims,
Donyale Luna, you know...
560
00:23:20,267 --> 00:23:21,735
-Exactly, exactly.
-Yeah, yeah.
561
00:23:21,835 --> 00:23:23,604
When you look at the industry
562
00:23:23,704 --> 00:23:25,172
through the lens
that only you can,
563
00:23:25,272 --> 00:23:27,107
do you think
it's changed enough?
564
00:23:27,207 --> 00:23:29,142
Have you seen change
that-that you're proud of?
565
00:23:29,243 --> 00:23:30,911
And how far do you
still want it to go?
566
00:23:31,011 --> 00:23:33,514
The-- what-- what's been
happening in the industry
567
00:23:33,614 --> 00:23:35,949
is like when I started in 1976.
568
00:23:36,049 --> 00:23:39,786
Um, a lot of designers
were using Black models.
569
00:23:39,887 --> 00:23:42,523
But then it happened,
like, in 2013 there was
570
00:23:42,623 --> 00:23:44,925
this article
in The New York Times that said
571
00:23:45,025 --> 00:23:47,127
"The Blonde Leading the Blonde,
572
00:23:47,227 --> 00:23:49,530
and the Blackout
of the Black Model."
573
00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:52,299
-Wow.
-For six years, in 2013...
574
00:23:52,399 --> 00:23:54,835
-Wow. -...for six years,
none of the designers
575
00:23:54,935 --> 00:23:57,271
-have used any Black models.
-Wow.
576
00:23:57,371 --> 00:24:00,274
So I was shocked by that. By
then, I retired from modeling.
577
00:24:00,374 --> 00:24:01,742
I was doing Iman Cosmetics.
578
00:24:01,842 --> 00:24:03,277
But when I saw that article,
579
00:24:03,377 --> 00:24:06,213
Naomi Campbell and I
and Bethann Hardison,
580
00:24:06,313 --> 00:24:08,615
the three of us
joined forces together
581
00:24:08,749 --> 00:24:11,752
and wrote to the designers
of, uh... of America
582
00:24:11,819 --> 00:24:13,253
and the European designers
583
00:24:13,353 --> 00:24:15,823
to talk about,
specifically, about this issue.
584
00:24:15,923 --> 00:24:17,357
"What-what is happening?
585
00:24:17,457 --> 00:24:19,560
"How come
there was more Black models
586
00:24:19,693 --> 00:24:21,695
-"in the '70s and '80s and,
in 2013... -That is so--
587
00:24:21,762 --> 00:24:23,897
-Yeah, that's crazy.
-...nobody was using them?"
588
00:24:23,997 --> 00:24:26,733
What happened was that a lot
of, uh, uh, designers
589
00:24:26,834 --> 00:24:30,003
were having casting agents
who do the casting for them.
590
00:24:30,103 --> 00:24:32,873
The casting agents
now become the-the people
591
00:24:32,973 --> 00:24:34,741
-with the-- with the power.
-Right, the gatekeepers, yeah.
592
00:24:34,842 --> 00:24:36,810
And they said--
they said to the agents,
593
00:24:36,910 --> 00:24:39,713
"We are not seeing Black models
this season."
594
00:24:39,813 --> 00:24:41,582
As if they were a trend.
595
00:24:41,715 --> 00:24:43,283
-(gasping)
-Yeah.
596
00:24:43,383 --> 00:24:45,219
-Wow.
-So-so we were...
597
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:48,989
What we were trying to talk
about was not calling them out
598
00:24:49,089 --> 00:24:50,524
-or canceling them out.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
599
00:24:50,624 --> 00:24:53,193
We were trying to call them in
to understand,
600
00:24:53,293 --> 00:24:56,730
"Are you aware,
on your behalf, on your name,
601
00:24:56,830 --> 00:24:58,932
"what these casting agents
are doing?
602
00:24:59,032 --> 00:25:01,001
"Because before I call you
any names,
603
00:25:01,101 --> 00:25:03,103
-I just want you to know first."
(chuckling) -I love that.
604
00:25:03,203 --> 00:25:05,839
I love that. And did they-- and
did they respond accordingly?
605
00:25:05,939 --> 00:25:08,475
You-- It-it was palpable,
the change.
606
00:25:08,575 --> 00:25:10,544
-I love that.
-Yeah. Palpable, the change.
607
00:25:10,644 --> 00:25:13,714
So it's like
if you see it, say something.
608
00:25:13,814 --> 00:25:15,048
-So basically. Yeah.
-I love that.
609
00:25:15,149 --> 00:25:16,517
-Yeah, that's what it was.
-See? Legend.
610
00:25:16,683 --> 00:25:18,185
And legend and legend
and legend,
611
00:25:18,285 --> 00:25:20,087
from the beginning,
to the middle, to the end,
612
00:25:20,187 --> 00:25:21,855
even when you're out
of the modeling industry.
613
00:25:21,955 --> 00:25:24,825
You're now telling these
stories, and you know what?
614
00:25:24,925 --> 00:25:26,927
I didn't know
so many parts of your journey.
615
00:25:27,027 --> 00:25:29,396
-For instance, starting
a cosmetics brand... -Yeah.
616
00:25:29,496 --> 00:25:31,798
...when Black women weren't
getting any cosmetics brands
617
00:25:31,899 --> 00:25:33,433
that were focusing on them.
618
00:25:33,534 --> 00:25:35,702
-You've really paved the way
for brands like Fenty... -Yes.
619
00:25:35,802 --> 00:25:37,237
...that we see today
that are doing so well,
620
00:25:37,337 --> 00:25:38,772
that are growing everywhere.
621
00:25:38,872 --> 00:25:41,141
If you could change one thing
622
00:25:41,241 --> 00:25:43,177
about the modeling industry
instantly,
623
00:25:43,277 --> 00:25:44,778
what is the thing
you would change?
624
00:25:44,878 --> 00:25:47,281
I would change
the decision-makers.
625
00:25:47,381 --> 00:25:51,385
-The people on the top
should be exclusive. -Huh.
626
00:25:51,485 --> 00:25:54,721
'Cause a lot of times,
you find Prada did an ad,
627
00:25:54,822 --> 00:25:58,125
and everybody was in an uproar
because it was purely racist.
628
00:25:58,225 --> 00:26:00,961
-Right. -H&M will do, uh...
you know, the monkey.
629
00:26:01,061 --> 00:26:02,429
Oh, yes, the hoody
with the monkey, yeah, yeah.
630
00:26:02,529 --> 00:26:03,764
Yeah, exactly.
631
00:26:03,864 --> 00:26:04,798
If there were people
in the decision-maker
632
00:26:04,898 --> 00:26:07,367
in their... in their companies,
633
00:26:07,467 --> 00:26:09,169
this would not even
be happening.
634
00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:10,804
And that's what you need--
allies.
635
00:26:10,904 --> 00:26:13,240
Not people that will say,
behind closed doors,
636
00:26:13,340 --> 00:26:15,876
how much they love you,
637
00:26:15,976 --> 00:26:18,745
but come out and say,
"This is how much I love her."
638
00:26:18,846 --> 00:26:20,681
-(applause and cheering)
-Well, I say to your face
639
00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:21,982
how much I love you.
640
00:26:22,082 --> 00:26:23,550
Thank you so much
for joining me on the show.
641
00:26:23,684 --> 00:26:25,252
-Thank you.
-Such an honor having you.
642
00:26:25,352 --> 00:26:26,687
Iman, everybody.
643
00:26:26,787 --> 00:26:28,155
We're gonna take a quick break,
644
00:26:28,255 --> 00:26:31,325
but we'll be right back
after this.
645
00:26:31,425 --> 00:26:32,493
Thank you so much.
646
00:26:32,593 --> 00:26:34,695
(applause and cheering)
647
00:26:39,438 --> 00:26:40,639
Well, that's our show
for tonight.
648
00:26:40,739 --> 00:26:42,107
Charlamagne is coming up next.
649
00:26:42,207 --> 00:26:44,743
Now here it is--
Your Moment of Zen.
