00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:04,805
ANNOUNCER: Tonight, it's the
final episode of The Daily
3
00:00:04,905 --> 00:00:08,542
Show with Trevor Noah,
where we celebrate the fact
4
00:00:08,642 --> 00:00:10,344
that we fixed America.
5
00:00:10,444 --> 00:00:11,645
That's right.
6
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:14,681
All the problems are solved,
and it's time to move on.
7
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:17,451
Mission accomplished.
8
00:00:17,551 --> 00:00:20,754
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.
9
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:27,861
[cheering]
10
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:38,972
Oh, man, what's
going on, everybody?
11
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:40,440
Welcome to The Daily Show.
12
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:41,408
I'm Trevor Noah.
13
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:44,144
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
14
00:00:44,244 --> 00:00:46,346
Thank you for coming
out in person.
15
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:47,514
Thank you so much.
16
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:49,416
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
17
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:50,517
Thank you so much.
18
00:00:50,617 --> 00:00:51,919
Thank you for being
here, everybody.
19
00:00:52,019 --> 00:00:53,587
Take a seat.
Take a seat.
20
00:00:53,687 --> 00:00:55,889
Thank you so much
for coming out
21
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:57,324
and for tuning in,
especially tonight
22
00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:59,493
because this is the final
episode of The Daily
23
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:00,527
Show with Trevor Noah.
24
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:01,495
And it's not just that.
25
00:01:01,595 --> 00:01:03,063
It's also a celebration.
26
00:01:03,130 --> 00:01:07,367
Because when I started this
show, I had three clear goals.
27
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:09,736
I was like, I'm going to make
sure Hillary gets elected.
28
00:01:09,837 --> 00:01:12,206
I'm going to make sure that
I prevent a global pandemic
29
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:13,440
from starting.
30
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:15,342
And I'm going to become best
friends with Kanye West.
31
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:16,343
So--
32
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:20,914
[cheering]
33
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:22,883
I think it's time to move on.
34
00:01:22,983 --> 00:01:24,985
But before we do that, for
one last time, let's do
35
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:26,086
this, people.
36
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:27,588
Let's jump straight
into today's episode.
37
00:01:27,688 --> 00:01:29,990
[music playing]
38
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:35,829
[cheering]
39
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:37,164
All right, people,
let's do this.
40
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:38,632
This is it, my final show.
41
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:39,933
And I've got a ton
of cleanup to do
42
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,768
so I can get the security
deposit back on the studio.
43
00:01:41,869 --> 00:01:45,839
But-- but, before I head out,
what better way to spend it
44
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:48,475
than to check in with
all of my favorite people
45
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:50,344
and all of your favorite
correspondents one
46
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:52,846
last time, starting with my
very favorite, Michael
47
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:54,147
Kosta, everybody!
48
00:01:54,248 --> 00:01:58,619
[cheering]
49
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,257
Michael Kosta, great
to see you, buddy.
50
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:05,526
One last time, man, what is
going on in the market today?
51
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:09,963
Trevor, Trevor, I'm crushing
it, and, I mean, crushing
52
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:11,331
it, OK?
53
00:02:11,431 --> 00:02:16,403
But tonight I'm also crushed
because this is our last time
54
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:17,571
together on The Daily Show.
55
00:02:17,671 --> 00:02:20,374
So I'm not going to talk
about the market tonight.
56
00:02:20,474 --> 00:02:22,543
Because as much
as I love numbers,
57
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:25,712
there's a different
N-word I love even more.
58
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,981
[laughter]
59
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:29,216
Nostalgia.
60
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:30,984
Oh, thank god, nostalgia.
61
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:31,985
Yeah, nostalgia.
62
00:02:32,085 --> 00:02:33,120
TREVOR NOAH: All right.
63
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:36,089
Trevor, this is a chart
of our friendship, OK?
64
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:42,796
Six years-- six years of
African-American relations,
65
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:43,797
all right?
66
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:45,499
TREVOR NOAH: [laughs]
67
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,168
Now right here, this
is the high point.
68
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:50,804
We got off to a good start
because you hired me, right,
69
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:52,573
which meant I
could stop sleeping
70
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,141
in my shitty old Honda Civic.
71
00:02:54,241 --> 00:02:55,342
And now look at me.
72
00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:57,845
I'm sleeping in a frickin'
Tesla, baby, right?
73
00:02:57,945 --> 00:02:58,946
[cheering]
74
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:00,314
Yeah.
75
00:03:00,414 --> 00:03:03,183
And every morning I wake up,
I see where the autopilot mode
76
00:03:03,283 --> 00:03:05,219
brought me, I have a
nice, big cup of coffee,
77
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:07,554
and I clean the
blood off my tires.
78
00:03:07,654 --> 00:03:10,791
And that's thanks
to you, my man.
79
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:12,926
Well, for the job, yeah.
80
00:03:13,060 --> 00:03:14,595
For the job, yeah, but not
thanks to me for the blood.
81
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:15,596
No, I do.
82
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:16,830
That blood is on
your hands for real.
83
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:19,166
But, of course-- of
course, now here--
84
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:21,902
here is the first time
you let me onto the show
85
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:24,071
with a chart that looked
like a butthole, right?
86
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:25,339
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah,
you did that a lot.
87
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:26,640
You did a lot.
88
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:29,076
And here, OK, here is the
time you let me on the show
89
00:03:29,142 --> 00:03:31,712
with a different chart
that looks like a butthole.
90
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:33,080
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, yeah.
It was a lot of that.
91
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,214
It was a lot.
92
00:03:34,314 --> 00:03:35,549
But the one that's most
important to me, Trevor,
93
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:37,417
is this one up here, OK?
94
00:03:37,518 --> 00:03:39,253
Because this is the time
you let me on the show
95
00:03:39,353 --> 00:03:41,555
with a chart that
looks like a penis.
96
00:03:41,655 --> 00:03:43,891
And this was a total
game-changer for me, Trevor.
97
00:03:43,991 --> 00:03:45,192
Yeah.
98
00:03:45,292 --> 00:03:47,794
And, look-- look, there was
some tough times too, OK?
99
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:50,797
I mean, this is when
COVID hit, you know?
100
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:52,232
And that wasn't easy.
101
00:03:52,332 --> 00:03:54,201
You were doing the show
from your apartment.
102
00:03:54,301 --> 00:03:55,869
I was in the office
every day because I
103
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:57,304
didn't get that email.
But-- but--
104
00:03:57,404 --> 00:03:58,539
[laughter]
105
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:00,574
--that was a lonely two years.
106
00:04:00,674 --> 00:04:03,844
But, look, that's the beauty
of our friendship, Trevor.
107
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:07,047
In fact, I made a chart
to illustrate it, OK?
108
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,651
Some days are good.
109
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:11,652
Let's be honest.
110
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:14,655
Some days are bad.
111
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:19,626
But true friendship, that's
the sweet spot in between.
112
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:25,232
[cheering]
113
00:04:25,332 --> 00:04:28,569
And it can stink.
114
00:04:28,669 --> 00:04:31,471
It can bring you
unimaginable pleasure.
115
00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:33,473
But you can't live without it.
116
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:35,275
[cheering]
117
00:04:35,375 --> 00:04:39,112
Thank you, Michael.
118
00:04:39,213 --> 00:04:40,714
I see what you did
there one last time.
119
00:04:40,814 --> 00:04:41,715
I see that.
120
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:42,983
And you know what?
121
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:45,819
I wouldn't trade our friendship
for anything, Trevor.
122
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:47,921
[cheering]
123
00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:49,556
TREVOR NOAH: Thank you so
much for that, Michael.
124
00:04:49,656 --> 00:04:51,258
One last time, everybody.
125
00:04:51,358 --> 00:04:52,593
[cheering]
126
00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:55,696
Heartfelt and Incredibly
disgusting sentiment,
127
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:57,130
Michael Kosta, everybody.
128
00:04:57,231 --> 00:05:00,501
[cheering]
129
00:05:00,601 --> 00:05:02,736
Now let's go on to
Desi Lydic, please.
130
00:05:02,836 --> 00:05:06,106
And tell me, Desi, that
for this last time,
131
00:05:06,206 --> 00:05:08,041
you're actually going to
do the weather, please.
132
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:09,042
Desi Lydic, everybody.
133
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:12,079
[cheering]
134
00:05:12,179 --> 00:05:14,248
Weather?
135
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:15,315
Nope.
136
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:18,151
Trevor, I am not here
to do the weather.
137
00:05:18,252 --> 00:05:19,453
It's your last show.
138
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:23,490
So on behalf of Paramount,
Viacom, CBS, Comedy Central,
139
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:26,627
Viacom Networks,
and Paw Patrol Plus,
140
00:05:26,727 --> 00:05:30,964
I am here to do
your exit interview.
141
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:33,534
What, right-- do we have
to do that live on air?
142
00:05:33,634 --> 00:05:35,469
No, but some of us are
getting drinks after the show.
143
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:38,071
So I got to squeeze it in now.
144
00:05:38,172 --> 00:05:39,573
TREVOR NOAH: Wait, people
are getting drinks?
145
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:40,574
No one told me.
146
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,075
Can I come?
147
00:05:42,142 --> 00:05:43,076
First question.
148
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:45,078
[laughter]
149
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:47,481
Over the seven years of
your employment here,
150
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:51,285
what would you say is my
best personality trait?
151
00:05:51,385 --> 00:05:53,086
[laughter]
152
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,255
Oh, you mean my best
personality trait.
153
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,191
Nope, mine.
154
00:05:57,291 --> 00:06:00,761
Oh, I guess I
would say humility.
155
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:03,597
Yeah, I am amazing at that.
156
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,266
I'll put down humility
and great cheekbones.
157
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:07,501
TREVOR NOAH: Oh, OK.
158
00:06:07,601 --> 00:06:12,472
OK, next question, what
will you miss most about me?
159
00:06:12,573 --> 00:06:13,473
OK, this is wei--
160
00:06:13,574 --> 00:06:16,143
Desi, if this is
my exit interview,
161
00:06:16,243 --> 00:06:19,746
shouldn't the questions
be about me and not you?
162
00:06:19,847 --> 00:06:21,481
Why would they be about you?
163
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,350
I'm the one who's staying.
164
00:06:23,450 --> 00:06:25,419
[laughter]
165
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:28,689
I mean, you're leaving
us, which is fine.
166
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:29,690
It's fine.
167
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:31,458
I mean, people abandon
me all the time.
168
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:32,459
I don't care.
169
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:34,728
Why would I care, dad?
170
00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:36,864
[laughter]
171
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:40,334
Point is I'm the one staying.
172
00:06:40,434 --> 00:06:42,636
But just in case,
would you mind writing
173
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:44,972
me a letter of recommendation?
174
00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:46,306
I gladly would, Desi.
175
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,443
You know, I will write that
you are one of the funniest
176
00:06:49,543 --> 00:06:53,080
and most gifted comedic
actors I have ever known
177
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:54,948
and had the pleasure
of working with.
178
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:59,152
Anyone who knows you
is lucky to know you.
179
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:00,721
Trevor.
180
00:07:00,821 --> 00:07:03,257
OK, fine, you can come
to drinks with work.
181
00:07:03,357 --> 00:07:05,025
TREVOR NOAH: Thank you.
Thank you.
182
00:07:05,058 --> 00:07:06,026
Yeah.
183
00:07:06,059 --> 00:07:07,027
Thank you so much.
184
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:09,863
[cheering]
185
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:11,331
Desi Lydic, everybody.
186
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:16,637
[cheering]
187
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:18,038
One of the funniest
people I know,
188
00:07:18,105 --> 00:07:21,175
but one of the worst weather
people I've ever worked with,
189
00:07:21,275 --> 00:07:22,342
and that's saying something.
190
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:25,279
Now here to give us our
final lotto numbers,
191
00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:27,047
Dulcé Sloan, everyone.
192
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,384
[cheering]
193
00:07:30,484 --> 00:07:32,686
All right, Dulcé.
194
00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:34,421
All right, friend, who's
winning that money?
195
00:07:34,521 --> 00:07:35,589
Where are the lotto numbers?
196
00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:36,590
No, no, no, no, no.
197
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:38,592
Listen.
198
00:07:38,692 --> 00:07:40,394
Hello, friends.
199
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:44,064
[cheering]
200
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:48,135
Now there's only one
lotto winner tonight.
201
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:54,775
And that is my friend,
my light-skinned friend,
202
00:07:55,776 --> 00:07:59,179
my homie, Trevor Ezekiel Noah.
203
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:00,781
TREVOR NOAH: It's not
Ezekiel, but I'll take it.
204
00:08:00,881 --> 00:08:02,015
[laughter]
205
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:03,784
I don't know why you keep
saying Ezekiel to me.
206
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:05,786
I gave you the middle
name Ezekiel because I
207
00:08:05,886 --> 00:08:07,321
don't know any African words.
208
00:08:07,421 --> 00:08:09,289
[laughter]
209
00:08:09,389 --> 00:08:13,694
You taught me nothing!
210
00:08:13,794 --> 00:08:15,028
TREVOR NOAH: Sorry.
I interrupted you.
211
00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:16,029
You were saying.
212
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:17,264
You were saying.
213
00:08:17,364 --> 00:08:19,666
You think if you know
African they teach you African,
214
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:24,137
but he just be speaking
English all the time.
215
00:08:24,238 --> 00:08:27,407
Look at you, leaving The Daily
Show to go star in movies
216
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:30,410
like the Hemsworth brothers.
217
00:08:30,511 --> 00:08:32,779
Well, no, I don't actually
have any movies lined up.
218
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,047
I'm just-- I'm just leaving.
219
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:35,082
That's all.
220
00:08:35,182 --> 00:08:36,083
You're what?
221
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:37,417
[laughter]
222
00:08:37,518 --> 00:08:38,785
No, I-- have you
not been listening?
223
00:08:38,886 --> 00:08:39,920
This is what I said.
224
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:41,455
This is a moment where
I'm just taking time.
225
00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:43,924
It's about me making time
for family, for friends,
226
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,792
to travel a little bit more.
227
00:08:45,893 --> 00:08:48,862
Oh, you're doing travel show!
228
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:50,163
OK.
229
00:08:50,264 --> 00:08:52,165
OK, all right.
230
00:08:52,266 --> 00:08:54,434
See, that make sense.
231
00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:55,435
No, no.
232
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:56,436
Yeah!
233
00:08:56,537 --> 00:08:57,938
No, no.
234
00:08:58,071 --> 00:09:00,507
[cheering]
235
00:09:00,607 --> 00:09:01,508
Yeah!
236
00:09:01,608 --> 00:09:02,509
On the road with Trevor.
237
00:09:02,609 --> 00:09:04,511
Listen, why didn't you say so?
238
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:07,514
Ooh, is it a safari show?
239
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:09,550
Yeah, introducing us
to your animal friends
240
00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:11,818
that you went to school with.
241
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:13,887
You didn't go
to school with--
242
00:09:14,021 --> 00:09:16,557
Oh, you should do one
about African people.
243
00:09:16,657 --> 00:09:18,892
Cause you know what I realized?
244
00:09:19,026 --> 00:09:21,328
I know more about
meerkats than whoever
245
00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:22,763
the [bleep] lives in Tanzania.
246
00:09:22,863 --> 00:09:24,498
TREVOR NOAH: That's what a
lot of Americans tell me.
247
00:09:24,598 --> 00:09:25,799
Actually, that's true.
- They don't tell us nothing.
248
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:26,900
That's true.
249
00:09:27,034 --> 00:09:28,135
But I'm not actually
leaving for another--
250
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:29,203
I'm not leaving for a movie.
251
00:09:29,303 --> 00:09:30,637
I'm not leaving for,
like, another show.
252
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:32,439
I don't have anything
lined up at the moment.
253
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:34,341
It's just about this right now.
254
00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:37,077
Wait a minute.
255
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:40,814
So you leaving a good job.
256
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:46,420
You quitting a job without
having another job lined up.
257
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,421
[bleep], you crazy!
258
00:09:47,521 --> 00:09:48,589
You don't leave a job!
259
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:51,558
[applause]
260
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:58,565
Who the [bleep] leaves a job?
261
00:09:58,665 --> 00:10:02,503
So you're just leaving
a job to do nothing?
262
00:10:02,603 --> 00:10:04,838
Wow, you really are half white.
263
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,774
[laughter]
264
00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:14,047
[cheering]
265
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:16,817
It's your boy Swiss
chocolate in the building.
266
00:10:16,917 --> 00:10:18,318
TREVOR NOAH: Look, I
hear what you're saying.
267
00:10:18,418 --> 00:10:20,387
I hear-- I just think
life isn't all about work.
268
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:21,388
It's all about the next
thing, the next thing,
269
00:10:21,488 --> 00:10:22,356
the next thing.
270
00:10:22,456 --> 00:10:23,390
It's about-- it's
about exploration.
271
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:24,424
It's about discovery.
272
00:10:24,525 --> 00:10:26,126
It's about
fulfillment, you know?
273
00:10:26,226 --> 00:10:27,628
[cheering]
274
00:10:27,728 --> 00:10:30,030
Shut up!
275
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:34,668
Your discovery,
your fulfillment,
276
00:10:34,768 --> 00:10:37,037
you sound like a white girl
doing a semester abroad.
277
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:43,777
[laughter]
278
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:46,313
You know what we
call a grown-ass man
279
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:47,948
who doesn't have a job?
280
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:49,816
Unemployed!
281
00:10:49,917 --> 00:10:52,486
TREVOR NOAH: No, I
won't be unemployed.
282
00:10:52,586 --> 00:10:55,389
I have many great things
going on in my life.
283
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:56,490
Listen, listen.
284
00:10:56,590 --> 00:11:00,227
You don't have to be
proud with me, Trevor.
285
00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:02,062
You're my friend.
286
00:11:02,095 --> 00:11:03,063
OK?
287
00:11:03,096 --> 00:11:04,565
You're one of my
favorite people,
288
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:06,633
and you're the reason
that my mama don't work.
289
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:08,635
[laughter]
290
00:11:08,735 --> 00:11:11,138
TREVOR NOAH: Thank, you Dulcé.
291
00:11:11,238 --> 00:11:12,840
You know you're one
of my favorite people.
292
00:11:12,940 --> 00:11:13,841
Thank you.
293
00:11:13,941 --> 00:11:16,076
And you know I
really love your mom.
294
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:17,578
Listen, my mama
loves you too.
295
00:11:17,678 --> 00:11:19,079
And I always have to
break her heart to tell
296
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,781
her that we're just friends.
297
00:11:20,881 --> 00:11:26,587
[laughter]
298
00:11:26,687 --> 00:11:28,755
Now since you're about
to be the broke dick
299
00:11:28,856 --> 00:11:29,756
that I despise--
300
00:11:29,857 --> 00:11:32,359
[laughter]
301
00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:35,863
--you won't need
this lotto money.
302
00:11:35,963 --> 00:11:38,265
So I have fixed it so
the winning numbers
303
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:41,134
are one of the most
important dates in our lives,
304
00:11:41,235 --> 00:11:43,303
the day that you and I met.
305
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:47,541
So all you have to do
is play those numbers,
306
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:51,845
and the jackpot is
yours, young man.
307
00:11:51,945 --> 00:11:53,146
Uh-huh.
308
00:11:53,247 --> 00:11:54,848
Yes!
309
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,650
Yes!
310
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:58,018
Very simple.
311
00:11:58,118 --> 00:11:59,119
Yeah.
312
00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:00,053
DULC SLOAN: Very simple.
313
00:12:00,153 --> 00:12:01,255
Because it's just
the date that we
314
00:12:01,355 --> 00:12:03,323
met that we both remember.
315
00:12:03,423 --> 00:12:06,960
Right, and as soon as you
play those numbers of the day
316
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:09,863
that we met, it will
come up on the screen,
317
00:12:09,963 --> 00:12:11,465
and you going to
win that money.
318
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:12,466
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah.
319
00:12:12,566 --> 00:12:15,435
I'll play them because
I remember them.
320
00:12:15,536 --> 00:12:16,603
Right?
321
00:12:16,703 --> 00:12:18,105
I remember them.
322
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:20,073
It was 2--
323
00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:21,074
No.
324
00:12:21,175 --> 00:12:23,810
To me, it was, to me, a day--
325
00:12:23,911 --> 00:12:25,746
you interrupted me.
It was, to me, one--
326
00:12:25,846 --> 00:12:26,747
Sorry.
327
00:12:26,847 --> 00:12:28,081
--one of the most
important moments.
328
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,083
That's why I don't forget it.
329
00:12:30,184 --> 00:12:33,587
And that number
sticks in my heart.
330
00:12:33,687 --> 00:12:35,489
And that number is 4--
331
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:36,557
No.
332
00:12:36,657 --> 00:12:38,125
TREVOR NOAH: For--
no, for many people--
333
00:12:38,225 --> 00:12:39,826
Yes.
334
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:42,663
--why you and I work so well.
335
00:12:42,763 --> 00:12:45,899
Because we both know
the number is 1--
336
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:46,900
No.
337
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,335
--of the people
who've touched
338
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:49,570
me the most in my life--
339
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:50,938
Yes, yes.
340
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:53,407
--which is why I
know the number is 10--
341
00:12:53,507 --> 00:12:54,408
No.
342
00:12:54,508 --> 00:12:57,144
--nessee is where
you remind me of.
343
00:12:57,244 --> 00:12:59,413
[laughter]
344
00:12:59,513 --> 00:13:01,481
Tennessee?
345
00:13:01,582 --> 00:13:02,749
Negro, I'm from Georgia.
346
00:13:02,850 --> 00:13:03,884
[laughter]
347
00:13:04,051 --> 00:13:05,152
You know what?
348
00:13:05,252 --> 00:13:08,422
I'll play them myself because
I also need this money.
349
00:13:08,522 --> 00:13:10,691
So good luck being unemployed.
350
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:12,059
Dulcé Sloan, everybody!
351
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:14,862
[cheering]
352
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:16,530
I know the numbers.
353
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:17,764
I know the numbers.
354
00:13:17,865 --> 00:13:19,533
I just-- I just didn't
want to win my own lottery.
355
00:13:19,633 --> 00:13:20,534
I know the numbers.
356
00:13:20,634 --> 00:13:22,870
All right.
357
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:25,973
For one last time, let's
turn to my good friend
358
00:13:26,073 --> 00:13:28,175
and favorite meme Ronny
Chieng to see what's
359
00:13:28,275 --> 00:13:29,977
trending on social media.
360
00:13:30,077 --> 00:13:32,446
[cheering]
361
00:13:32,546 --> 00:13:36,083
Ronny Chieng, what is
trending on social media?
362
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,251
You want to know
what's trending?
363
00:13:37,351 --> 00:13:39,253
I'll tell you what's
trending right now, Trevor.
364
00:13:39,353 --> 00:13:41,622
It's my feelings!
365
00:13:41,722 --> 00:13:43,223
I can't believe you're leaving.
366
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:44,691
It's like-- it's like
a part of my heart.
367
00:13:44,791 --> 00:13:47,160
It's being ripped
out of my body
368
00:13:47,261 --> 00:13:50,130
and not in the cool
Indiana Jones way, right?
369
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,299
We had so many great
times together.
370
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,269
You're like a brother to
me, and not like in the way
371
00:13:55,369 --> 00:13:56,703
Black guys say it.
372
00:13:56,803 --> 00:14:00,207
I mean, like, actually
like a family brother, who
373
00:14:00,307 --> 00:14:02,075
happens to be Black kind of.
374
00:14:02,176 --> 00:14:03,076
Ronny.
375
00:14:03,177 --> 00:14:05,379
[laughter]
376
00:14:05,479 --> 00:14:08,448
Knowing you, knowing how
not emotional you are,
377
00:14:08,549 --> 00:14:11,351
I just want you to
know I appreciate that.
378
00:14:11,451 --> 00:14:12,352
Yeah.
379
00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:13,387
No, no, no, no.
380
00:14:13,487 --> 00:14:15,589
For real though, for
no joke, I just--
381
00:14:15,689 --> 00:14:17,724
I just want to say thank you.
382
00:14:17,824 --> 00:14:19,526
Thank you for everything.
383
00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:20,861
You changed my life.
384
00:14:20,961 --> 00:14:23,697
You saved me from having to
work with amateur producers
385
00:14:23,797 --> 00:14:26,433
from Australia and Singapore.
386
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,569
I mean, at the time, when
you're starting the show,
387
00:14:28,669 --> 00:14:30,504
you had closer
friends than me, who
388
00:14:30,604 --> 00:14:31,805
were more talented than me.
389
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:33,941
But you said, no, I want
this [bleep] Chinese guy
390
00:14:34,074 --> 00:14:37,077
because you were adamant about
having Asian representation
391
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,078
on the show.
392
00:14:38,111 --> 00:14:39,146
And I really appreciate it.
393
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:41,715
And the whole time here,
it felt like it was just
394
00:14:41,815 --> 00:14:44,184
the two of us immigrants
just coming together
395
00:14:44,284 --> 00:14:47,354
to tell Americans what
was wrong with them,
396
00:14:47,454 --> 00:14:48,622
which they always appreciate.
397
00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:51,525
[laughter]
398
00:14:51,625 --> 00:14:56,396
[cheering]
399
00:14:56,496 --> 00:14:58,365
Thank you.
400
00:14:58,465 --> 00:14:59,366
Thank you, Ronny.
401
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:01,602
You know, honestly, I didn't--
402
00:15:01,702 --> 00:15:02,703
wow, wow.
403
00:15:02,803 --> 00:15:04,538
I didn't-- I didn't
expect that from you.
404
00:15:04,638 --> 00:15:05,772
And I feel like--
405
00:15:05,873 --> 00:15:08,308
I feel like you're
going to make me cry.
406
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:09,309
Yeah.
407
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:11,044
[laughs] Got you!
408
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:13,313
I got you, you
gullible [bleep]!!
409
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:15,649
You bought all that shit!
410
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,618
You know, of course, I
can go on without you.
411
00:15:17,718 --> 00:15:20,521
I'm in multiple tentpole
movie franchises
412
00:15:20,621 --> 00:15:22,055
thanks to this show.
413
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:24,358
You think you can sink me?
414
00:15:24,458 --> 00:15:26,693
I didn't even know it
was your last episode
415
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:29,630
until this morning.
416
00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:31,164
The whole world's,
oh, god, Trevor,
417
00:15:31,265 --> 00:15:36,370
oh my god, you're a beacon
of light in the darkness.
418
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:39,206
Hey, this is a show on
Comedy Central, all right?
419
00:15:39,306 --> 00:15:41,842
We just had someone try
to kiss a butthole, like,
420
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:43,143
two minutes ago.
421
00:15:43,243 --> 00:15:44,311
Get over yourself.
422
00:15:44,411 --> 00:15:46,246
I can't believe you
thought I was serious.
423
00:15:46,346 --> 00:15:47,247
No, no.
424
00:15:47,347 --> 00:15:48,248
No, I didn't think--
425
00:15:48,348 --> 00:15:49,416
I knew you were kidding, Ronny.
426
00:15:49,516 --> 00:15:50,417
Yeah, good one!
Ronny.
427
00:15:50,517 --> 00:15:51,418
[laughs]
428
00:15:51,518 --> 00:15:52,819
Yeah, yeah, but--
429
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,757
but-- but, in all seriousness,
on behalf of everyone watching
430
00:15:56,857 --> 00:15:59,259
right now, and from
the bottom of my heart,
431
00:15:59,359 --> 00:16:00,427
can I be the new host?
432
00:16:00,527 --> 00:16:01,695
TREVOR NOAH: Ronny
Chieng everybody!
433
00:16:01,795 --> 00:16:04,031
[cheering]
434
00:16:04,097 --> 00:16:05,566
I'll get back to you on that.
435
00:16:05,666 --> 00:16:09,703
I'll get right back to you.
436
00:16:09,803 --> 00:16:12,339
I'm just going to remember
the beautiful parts
437
00:16:12,439 --> 00:16:14,041
of what he said.
438
00:16:14,141 --> 00:16:17,177
All right.
439
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:21,915
For our final traffic report,
let's go to my very good
440
00:16:22,049 --> 00:16:25,252
friend, the OG from the
very beginning, who did this
441
00:16:25,352 --> 00:16:27,454
with me when nobody
thought we could,
442
00:16:27,554 --> 00:16:29,089
Roy Wood, Jr., everybody!
443
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:34,061
[cheering]
444
00:16:34,094 --> 00:16:35,963
What's going on, Roy?
445
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:38,398
What's going on, Roy?
446
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:39,666
I've been thinking
about this, bro.
447
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:41,134
You know you ain't got
to leave the country.
448
00:16:41,235 --> 00:16:42,769
You could just go over
to Good Morning America
449
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:43,770
and host over there.
450
00:16:43,871 --> 00:16:45,138
[laughter]
451
00:16:45,239 --> 00:16:46,807
The light-skin dude over
there in a lot of trouble.
452
00:16:46,907 --> 00:16:47,808
They might have an
opening for you.
453
00:16:47,908 --> 00:16:48,809
TREVOR NOAH: All
right, all right, Roy.
454
00:16:48,909 --> 00:16:49,810
I'm not getting involved.
455
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:51,345
Let's just do the traffic.
456
00:16:51,445 --> 00:16:54,915
Look, hey, man, listen,
before I do the traffic,
457
00:16:55,082 --> 00:16:58,252
just this is-- this is the last
time, you know, you and me.
458
00:16:58,352 --> 00:17:00,687
You can come clean.
459
00:17:00,787 --> 00:17:02,456
I'm sorry, what?
Come clean about what?
460
00:17:02,556 --> 00:17:03,457
ROY WOOD, JR.: Come clean.
461
00:17:03,557 --> 00:17:04,725
Just admit it.
462
00:17:04,825 --> 00:17:07,461
You-- you-- you ain't
African for real.
463
00:17:07,561 --> 00:17:09,596
[laughter]
464
00:17:09,696 --> 00:17:11,899
You're not African.
465
00:17:12,032 --> 00:17:13,534
What are you talking about?
466
00:17:13,634 --> 00:17:14,668
ROY WOOD, JR.:
Look, you know what
467
00:17:14,768 --> 00:17:15,936
the hell I'm talking about.
468
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:18,472
I used to run credit cards
back in '96 in Birmingham
469
00:17:18,572 --> 00:17:20,507
with a dude who
looked just like you.
470
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:22,209
Your name was Slippery
J. Your hair was
471
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:23,377
a little shorter back then.
472
00:17:23,477 --> 00:17:24,811
And I've been
keeping my mouth shut
473
00:17:24,912 --> 00:17:26,580
about it because we had a
good thing going right here,
474
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,048
you know?
475
00:17:28,081 --> 00:17:29,650
But the people deserve to know
the truth about you, Slippery.
476
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:31,151
Tell the truth, man.
477
00:17:31,251 --> 00:17:32,152
Roy--
478
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:33,353
You're from Birmingham.
479
00:17:33,453 --> 00:17:34,922
No, Roy, I don't know
what you're talking about.
480
00:17:35,055 --> 00:17:36,523
I've never lived in
Birmingham, dude.
481
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:38,492
Oh my god, look, you
don't have to say it
482
00:17:38,592 --> 00:17:39,793
like that no more, Birmingham.
483
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:40,928
Just say Birmingham.
484
00:17:41,061 --> 00:17:42,095
That's what the city is.
485
00:17:42,196 --> 00:17:43,130
You remember.
You remember.
486
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:44,364
Come on, Slip.
487
00:17:44,464 --> 00:17:46,433
You don't remember-- you
remember running the hustle
488
00:17:46,533 --> 00:17:47,768
at Walmart, the credit card.
489
00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:48,769
It was you.
490
00:17:48,869 --> 00:17:50,070
It was me.
491
00:17:50,137 --> 00:17:53,473
It was Ramrod, Big Mix, Bahama
Joe, Two Bone, Fat Matt,
492
00:17:53,574 --> 00:17:54,908
and we tried to
jump that fence.
493
00:17:55,075 --> 00:17:56,310
And when we jumped the
fence, the security
494
00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:57,311
was running after me.
495
00:17:57,411 --> 00:17:58,712
And then Two Bone
shit his pants,
496
00:17:58,812 --> 00:18:00,080
and we had to take
our pants off.
497
00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:01,849
So we had to give
Two Bone our pants.
498
00:18:02,015 --> 00:18:03,016
Then we didn't have no pants.
499
00:18:03,116 --> 00:18:04,484
You remember, we
didn't have no pants.
500
00:18:04,585 --> 00:18:06,286
You going to look me in
the eyes and tell me we
501
00:18:06,386 --> 00:18:08,789
wasn't-- that you wasn't
with me at the Walmart
502
00:18:08,889 --> 00:18:12,626
on Lakeshore Parkway in 1996.
503
00:18:12,726 --> 00:18:14,561
OK, firstly, why
did both of you
504
00:18:14,661 --> 00:18:16,663
have to give him your
pants if he shat his pants?
505
00:18:16,763 --> 00:18:18,298
Don't change
the subject on me
506
00:18:18,398 --> 00:18:22,302
right now, Slippery J.
All right, how about this?
507
00:18:22,402 --> 00:18:24,538
Look, if you really-- if
you really from Africa,
508
00:18:24,638 --> 00:18:26,707
why you be talking
all British then?
509
00:18:26,807 --> 00:18:27,875
[laughter]
510
00:18:28,041 --> 00:18:29,042
I don't understand
what you mean.
511
00:18:29,142 --> 00:18:30,344
(BRITISH ACCENT)
Oh, I'm from Africa.
512
00:18:30,444 --> 00:18:32,145
Cheerio Don't you
know the queen?
513
00:18:32,246 --> 00:18:34,748
Oh, the beans and me
gibberish and the job law.
514
00:18:34,848 --> 00:18:37,050
[gibberish]
515
00:18:37,117 --> 00:18:38,852
Ain't no African
sound like that, man.
516
00:18:38,952 --> 00:18:40,187
If you going to put
on a fake accent,
517
00:18:40,287 --> 00:18:41,455
at least make it
sound accurate.
518
00:18:41,555 --> 00:18:42,489
What you doing is offensive.
519
00:18:42,589 --> 00:18:43,690
It's disrespectful.
520
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:45,158
TREVOR NOAH: OK, Roy,
it's not a made up accent.
521
00:18:45,259 --> 00:18:46,627
Why would I pretend
to be African?
522
00:18:46,727 --> 00:18:48,061
Look, man, I'm not
judging you, man.
523
00:18:48,095 --> 00:18:49,062
Look, we all do it.
524
00:18:49,096 --> 00:18:50,464
Everybody lie to
get the job, bro.
525
00:18:50,564 --> 00:18:52,065
[laughter]
526
00:18:52,132 --> 00:18:53,534
Looking Black,
sounding British,
527
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:55,068
that's how you get the job.
You lie.
528
00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:56,436
I lied to get this job, man.
529
00:18:56,537 --> 00:18:57,804
I don't know shit about Excel.
530
00:18:57,905 --> 00:19:00,207
I told them people that
I killed bin Laden.
531
00:19:00,307 --> 00:19:02,676
I said whatever it take.
532
00:19:02,776 --> 00:19:04,011
That's how you
play the game, man.
533
00:19:04,044 --> 00:19:05,812
But just-- just be
real with me, bro.
534
00:19:05,913 --> 00:19:07,047
Be real with me.
TREVOR NOAH: Roy.
535
00:19:07,147 --> 00:19:08,248
- It's been seven years.
- Roy.
536
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:09,483
- You not African.
- Roy.
537
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:11,018
- You a regular-ass dude.
- Roy, Roy, Roy.
538
00:19:11,051 --> 00:19:12,019
Just--
539
00:19:12,052 --> 00:19:13,020
Roy, look at me.
540
00:19:13,086 --> 00:19:15,889
Roy, Roy, I am really African.
541
00:19:16,023 --> 00:19:17,024
OK?
542
00:19:17,057 --> 00:19:18,058
Whatever, man.
543
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:19,126
Either way, we had a good run.
544
00:19:19,226 --> 00:19:20,227
TREVOR NOAH: We did.
We did.
545
00:19:20,327 --> 00:19:21,295
Was a good run.
546
00:19:21,395 --> 00:19:22,362
TREVOR NOAH: It's
been amazing for me.
547
00:19:22,462 --> 00:19:23,897
Yeah, and I'm--
548
00:19:24,031 --> 00:19:25,132
You've been my dude from
day one, and you know this.
549
00:19:25,232 --> 00:19:26,333
Yeah.
550
00:19:26,433 --> 00:19:27,568
We've been having a
ton of fun together,
551
00:19:27,668 --> 00:19:28,802
every iteration of the show.
552
00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:30,137
Yeah.
553
00:19:30,237 --> 00:19:31,238
And let's make sure we keep
in touch, keep hanging out.
554
00:19:31,338 --> 00:19:32,472
That's what's up.
555
00:19:32,573 --> 00:19:34,474
We're real friends, you know?
556
00:19:34,575 --> 00:19:36,243
[laughter]
557
00:19:36,343 --> 00:19:37,444
I mean, you never know.
558
00:19:37,544 --> 00:19:39,546
Maybe we can get together,
steal some credit cards,
559
00:19:39,646 --> 00:19:41,215
and shit like the
old times, you know?
560
00:19:41,315 --> 00:19:42,482
Bitch, I knew it was you!
561
00:19:42,583 --> 00:19:44,351
TREVOR NOAH: No, no, no, no!
- Slippery J!
562
00:19:44,451 --> 00:19:45,619
- No.
- Slippery mother--
563
00:19:45,719 --> 00:19:46,787
- Roy Wood, Jr., everybody.
- --J!
564
00:19:46,887 --> 00:19:48,088
I don't know what
he's talking about.
565
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:49,389
ROY WOOD, JR.: I
knew it was you!
566
00:19:49,489 --> 00:19:51,158
I-- Roy Wood, Jr., everyone.
567
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:52,926
[cheering]
568
00:19:53,060 --> 00:19:58,498
Roy Wood, Jr. Roy Wood and
Trevor Noah from Africa.
569
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:01,768
All right, well, I guess
that's everyone, and--
570
00:20:01,869 --> 00:20:03,570
JORDAN KLEPPER: Aren't you
forgetting someone, Trevor?
571
00:20:03,670 --> 00:20:07,274
[cheering]
572
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:08,609
Oh, wow!
573
00:20:08,709 --> 00:20:09,776
Yeah.
574
00:20:09,877 --> 00:20:12,980
Someone you'd send
out every other week
575
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,648
to the heart of
America to almost get
576
00:20:14,748 --> 00:20:17,484
murdered by QAnon psychopaths.
577
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:19,086
TREVOR NOAH: Jordan
Klepper, you're still alive.
578
00:20:19,186 --> 00:20:21,922
I am still alive, yes.
579
00:20:22,022 --> 00:20:23,524
[cheering]
580
00:20:23,624 --> 00:20:25,692
Barely, barely.
581
00:20:25,792 --> 00:20:29,396
Trevor, I wanted
to come out here.
582
00:20:29,496 --> 00:20:31,732
Thank you for your
candor, your wit,
583
00:20:31,832 --> 00:20:37,771
your intelligence, and to
offer you one final goodbye.
584
00:20:37,871 --> 00:20:39,540
But I'm not going to do that.
585
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,908
Oh.
586
00:20:41,008 --> 00:20:43,777
I thought it'd be better
if the folks of New York
587
00:20:43,877 --> 00:20:45,946
did that.
588
00:20:46,046 --> 00:20:49,883
[music playing]
589
00:20:49,983 --> 00:20:51,084
JORDAN KLEPPER
(VOICEOVER): I wanted
590
00:20:51,185 --> 00:20:52,819
to give New Yorkers
a chance to weigh
591
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,021
in on Trevor's departure.
592
00:20:54,121 --> 00:20:56,723
So I bravely went to the
only place more intense
593
00:20:56,823 --> 00:21:00,060
than a MAGA rally, Midtown
Manhattan during the holidays.
594
00:21:00,127 --> 00:21:01,061
Move!
595
00:21:01,128 --> 00:21:02,629
Thank you.
596
00:21:02,729 --> 00:21:04,164
Trevor is leaving.
597
00:21:04,264 --> 00:21:05,199
How does that make you feel?
598
00:21:05,299 --> 00:21:06,400
Sad.
599
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:07,901
Extremely sad.
600
00:21:08,068 --> 00:21:09,770
Have you heard
Trevor Noah is leaving?
601
00:21:09,870 --> 00:21:12,072
The Black guy?
602
00:21:12,105 --> 00:21:14,208
He is a Black guy.
603
00:21:14,308 --> 00:21:15,209
Yeah.
604
00:21:15,309 --> 00:21:16,210
I'm sad.
605
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:18,145
He has been such a signature.
606
00:21:18,245 --> 00:21:20,247
He went through
COVID with all of us.
607
00:21:20,347 --> 00:21:21,748
That was such an
important part,
608
00:21:21,849 --> 00:21:23,650
like, just seeing
him on his house
609
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,219
and everybody being depressed.
610
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:28,255
But just he being on TV
was such a wonderful thing.
611
00:21:28,355 --> 00:21:30,591
You know it's
Trevor's final show.
612
00:21:30,691 --> 00:21:31,592
Yup, yup, yup.
613
00:21:31,692 --> 00:21:32,593
How does it make you feel?
614
00:21:32,693 --> 00:21:34,561
Eh.
615
00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:35,562
Everything ends.
616
00:21:35,662 --> 00:21:36,964
Hopefully, our buddy ends.
617
00:21:37,097 --> 00:21:38,699
[laughs]
- You talking about Trevor?
618
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:39,700
You want Trevor to die?
619
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,801
No, no, no, no, no, no.
620
00:21:40,901 --> 00:21:42,569
No, no, no, no, no.
- OK, I misunderstood.
621
00:21:42,669 --> 00:21:43,570
No, never mind.
622
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:45,739
What I like
about Trevor is you
623
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:47,608
have to be able to
[bleep] laugh at all
624
00:21:47,708 --> 00:21:49,109
sides of everything now.
625
00:21:49,176 --> 00:21:50,310
I don't want to
watch something where
626
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:51,945
they only snap on one person.
627
00:21:52,112 --> 00:21:53,146
Let's snap on Biden.
628
00:21:53,247 --> 00:21:54,314
Let's snap on Trump.
629
00:21:54,414 --> 00:21:55,816
Let's snap on everybody.
630
00:21:55,916 --> 00:21:56,984
Everybody deserves a snap.
631
00:21:57,117 --> 00:21:58,252
Everybody deserves it.
632
00:21:58,352 --> 00:21:59,253
That's New York.
633
00:21:59,353 --> 00:22:00,621
Trevor Noah is
leaving the show?
634
00:22:00,721 --> 00:22:02,055
JORDAN KLEPPER: How do
you feel about that?
635
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:03,123
- Sad.
- Yeah?
636
00:22:03,223 --> 00:22:04,858
I feel like he was
the best correspondent.
637
00:22:04,958 --> 00:22:06,159
Trevor is the most
talented thing on that show.
638
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:07,427
Yes.
639
00:22:07,528 --> 00:22:08,395
But there's other talented
people who are on the show
640
00:22:08,495 --> 00:22:09,663
currently.
- Yes.
641
00:22:09,763 --> 00:22:10,898
JORDAN KLEPPER: There's Trevor.
- There's Trevor.
642
00:22:11,064 --> 00:22:12,165
There's other correspondents.
643
00:22:12,266 --> 00:22:13,433
There are?
644
00:22:13,534 --> 00:22:14,668
Your favorite might be?
645
00:22:14,768 --> 00:22:15,936
Jimmy Fallon.
646
00:22:16,069 --> 00:22:17,070
Jimmy Fallon is
not a correspondent
647
00:22:17,104 --> 00:22:18,071
on The Daily Show.
648
00:22:18,105 --> 00:22:19,139
That is a totally
different show.
649
00:22:19,239 --> 00:22:20,140
I know.
650
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,508
I'm talking about
there's other people
651
00:22:21,608 --> 00:22:23,177
who work on The Daily Show--
- That's the only one I know.
652
00:22:23,277 --> 00:22:24,178
JORDAN KLEPPER: --who
are equally talented.
653
00:22:24,278 --> 00:22:25,179
That's all I know.
654
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:26,380
Trevor is the
other one you know.
655
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,514
Jordan Klepper
doesn't ring a bell.
656
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:28,549
- No.
- Doesn't ring a bell.
657
00:22:28,649 --> 00:22:30,217
Not even-- that's
the guy who goes out,
658
00:22:30,317 --> 00:22:32,519
puts his life on the line,
multiple Emmy nominations.
659
00:22:32,619 --> 00:22:33,520
No.
660
00:22:33,620 --> 00:22:34,521
I love Noah.
661
00:22:34,621 --> 00:22:35,756
- You just love Noah.
- Yes.
662
00:22:35,856 --> 00:22:37,090
You could be confronted
with Jordan Klepper,
663
00:22:37,124 --> 00:22:38,091
and you wouldn't know.
664
00:22:38,125 --> 00:22:39,092
No, but I would
still talk to you.
665
00:22:39,193 --> 00:22:40,327
You'd still talk to him.
666
00:22:40,427 --> 00:22:41,762
JORDAN KLEPPER (VOICEOVER):
Fortunately, some fans
667
00:22:41,862 --> 00:22:43,096
knew more than others.
668
00:22:43,130 --> 00:22:45,465
What's your favorite
Trevor Noah segment?
669
00:22:45,566 --> 00:22:47,868
Between the scenes, I think
that's beautiful because you
670
00:22:47,968 --> 00:22:49,937
see a really human
side of a celebrity,
671
00:22:50,103 --> 00:22:52,406
just being human with New
Yorkers and human with live.
672
00:22:52,506 --> 00:22:53,473
JORDAN KLEPPER:
Trevor's covered
673
00:22:53,574 --> 00:22:55,409
a lot of interesting,
important moments.
674
00:22:55,509 --> 00:22:56,410
Yeah.
675
00:22:56,510 --> 00:22:59,246
If you had to pick
a favorite police
676
00:22:59,346 --> 00:23:00,414
shooting that he's covered--
677
00:23:00,514 --> 00:23:01,415
Oh, jeez.
678
00:23:01,515 --> 00:23:03,050
JORDAN KLEPPER: --which
one would it be?
679
00:23:03,083 --> 00:23:04,284
Like, your favorite
lighthearted moment
680
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:10,123
from COVID?
681
00:23:10,224 --> 00:23:12,059
Too many to count.
- I'm sorry.
682
00:23:12,159 --> 00:23:13,660
- Is today the day?
- Yeah, we just got married.
683
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,728
Yeah, just got married.
684
00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:17,130
You guys are embarking
on something new.
685
00:23:17,231 --> 00:23:20,534
What advice do you have for
somebody else who's also
686
00:23:20,634 --> 00:23:22,236
embarking on something new?
687
00:23:22,336 --> 00:23:23,604
Always talk things through.
688
00:23:23,704 --> 00:23:26,073
So, like, with a close friend
or a colleague or somebody.
689
00:23:26,173 --> 00:23:27,140
Yeah.
690
00:23:27,241 --> 00:23:28,909
Talk to them before
you make the biggest
691
00:23:29,076 --> 00:23:30,077
decision of your life.
692
00:23:30,143 --> 00:23:32,079
It's the smart
[bleep] thing to do.
693
00:23:32,112 --> 00:23:33,080
[laughter]
694
00:23:33,146 --> 00:23:34,114
You're fans.
695
00:23:34,214 --> 00:23:36,650
Trevor is retiring today.
696
00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:38,185
- And where is he going next?
- Yeah.
697
00:23:38,285 --> 00:23:40,087
He's going to open a
candy shop in Rhinebeck.
698
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:41,154
- OK.
- Hey.
699
00:23:41,255 --> 00:23:42,155
I think.
700
00:23:42,256 --> 00:23:43,457
I'm just guessing.
701
00:23:43,557 --> 00:23:44,925
He won't tell anybody
what he's doing.
702
00:23:45,092 --> 00:23:46,493
But do you know
where he's going?
703
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:47,494
What is he doing?
704
00:23:47,594 --> 00:23:48,795
JORDAN KLEPPER: It is unclear.
705
00:23:48,896 --> 00:23:50,330
I know he always likes soccer.
706
00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:52,499
I don't know how easy
that is to get into.
707
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,568
Feels like anybody
can do it, so maybe.
708
00:23:54,668 --> 00:23:55,702
Got it.
709
00:23:55,802 --> 00:23:57,304
What is he going to be
doing next? do you know?
710
00:23:57,404 --> 00:24:01,909
I think he's going to
Ukraine, whether it's standup
711
00:24:02,042 --> 00:24:02,943
or he's fighting.
712
00:24:03,043 --> 00:24:04,611
Oh, well, I'm looking
forward to that.
713
00:24:04,711 --> 00:24:05,879
I look forward
to seeing him as he
714
00:24:06,046 --> 00:24:08,782
hits the road potentially
and stops in Tampa.
715
00:24:08,882 --> 00:24:10,150
Because I know he does
that occasionally.
716
00:24:10,250 --> 00:24:11,552
So you want Trevor
to come to Tampa.
717
00:24:11,652 --> 00:24:13,053
Absolutely, I want
him to come to me.
718
00:24:13,086 --> 00:24:14,388
That's white
privilege right there.
719
00:24:14,488 --> 00:24:15,656
[laughs]
720
00:24:15,756 --> 00:24:19,159
A Black man retires after
long, long years of work,
721
00:24:19,259 --> 00:24:21,061
and you're like,
please, come to me.
722
00:24:21,161 --> 00:24:22,229
Make me laugh.
723
00:24:22,329 --> 00:24:23,530
JORDAN KLEPPER
(VOICEOVER): Trevor,
724
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:27,067
the truth is the word on the
street was loud and clear.
725
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:28,635
Trevor, thank you very much.
726
00:24:28,735 --> 00:24:29,870
Trevor, we will miss you.
727
00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:31,271
Trevor, we love you.
728
00:24:31,371 --> 00:24:33,340
Trevor, we're going
to miss you so much.
729
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,644
You were the best.
730
00:24:37,744 --> 00:24:39,446
I said see you soon.
731
00:24:39,546 --> 00:24:40,714
Come back soon.
732
00:24:40,814 --> 00:24:42,082
You're not, like, trolling
us cursing, swear words.
733
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:43,283
Oh, absolutely not.
734
00:24:43,383 --> 00:24:45,419
Good luck and thank you for
keeping us a little bit
735
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:46,587
more sane.
736
00:24:46,687 --> 00:24:47,955
Have fun at the candy shop.
737
00:24:48,088 --> 00:24:50,557
Yo, Trevor, you're
the [bleep] man.
738
00:24:50,657 --> 00:24:52,793
Whatever you do,
congratulations.
739
00:24:52,893 --> 00:24:55,529
Keep it real, and
[muted] with everybody.
740
00:24:55,629 --> 00:24:56,730
Trevor, I wish you the best.
741
00:24:56,830 --> 00:24:57,731
You're awesome.
742
00:24:57,831 --> 00:24:58,799
Thank you for all your work.
743
00:24:58,899 --> 00:25:01,602
Go make fun the world.
744
00:25:01,702 --> 00:25:04,905
I was going to say, like,
exactly that verbatim.
745
00:25:05,038 --> 00:25:06,707
Go make fun of the world.
746
00:25:06,807 --> 00:25:09,576
[cheering]
747
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:10,577
Wow.
748
00:25:10,677 --> 00:25:11,845
Jordan Klepper, everybody.
749
00:25:11,945 --> 00:25:12,880
Trevor Noah.
750
00:25:13,046 --> 00:25:14,214
Thank you, man.
751
00:25:14,314 --> 00:25:15,916
Thank you so much.
752
00:25:16,049 --> 00:25:17,217
Wow.
753
00:25:17,317 --> 00:25:20,087
And one last time, to all
the correspondents, please,
754
00:25:20,187 --> 00:25:21,288
give it up one more
time, everybody.
755
00:25:21,388 --> 00:25:24,224
Every single one of
the correspondents,
756
00:25:24,324 --> 00:25:25,292
every single one of them.
757
00:25:25,392 --> 00:25:30,230
Desi Lydic, Ronny
Chieng, Michael Kosta,
758
00:25:30,330 --> 00:25:33,934

760
00:25:36,537 --> 00:25:38,705
Give it up, everybody,
for the best fake news
761
00:25:38,805 --> 00:25:40,607
team in history, everybody.
762
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:42,075
Look at these people.
763
00:25:42,176 --> 00:25:43,777
Look at these people.
764
00:25:43,877 --> 00:25:45,078
Keep watching them.
765
00:25:45,112 --> 00:25:46,513
They're funny.
They're amazing.
766
00:25:46,613 --> 00:25:47,814
I couldn't have done
this without them.
767
00:25:47,915 --> 00:25:49,716
I didn't want to
do it without them.
768
00:25:49,816 --> 00:25:50,684
We're going to come back.
769
00:25:50,784 --> 00:25:51,952
We're going to
take a quick break.
770
00:25:52,085 --> 00:25:53,153
And after that, I'll be
talking to my good friend Neal
771
00:25:53,253 --> 00:25:54,922
Brennan.
Don't go away.
772
00:25:55,088 --> 00:25:56,089
We'll be right back.
773
00:25:56,156 --> 00:26:03,163

[music playing]
775
00:26:11,205 --> 00:26:13,440
Trump is too busy to testify?
776
00:26:13,540 --> 00:26:15,409
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
777
00:26:15,509 --> 00:26:16,543
Would you like a tissue?
778
00:26:16,643 --> 00:26:18,111
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
779
00:26:18,212 --> 00:26:20,147
That's right, Jeff Bezos.
780
00:26:20,247 --> 00:26:22,249
Get the [bleep] out of here!
781
00:26:22,349 --> 00:26:23,550
Get the Zuck out of here, man.
782
00:26:23,650 --> 00:26:24,818
You can't even
hold your spices.
783
00:26:24,918 --> 00:26:26,086
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
784
00:26:26,186 --> 00:26:28,188
A farting cow in an actual
oil spill, get the [bleep]
785
00:26:28,288 --> 00:26:29,189
out of here, man.
786
00:26:29,289 --> 00:26:31,058
Ancient turtles
had very sexy legs.
787
00:26:31,158 --> 00:26:32,426
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
788
00:26:32,526 --> 00:26:35,095
You'll see that it says, get
the [bleep] out of here, man.
789
00:26:35,195 --> 00:26:38,365
Your boss father is a rich guy
who does nothing but complain.
790
00:26:38,465 --> 00:26:39,366
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
791
00:26:39,466 --> 00:26:40,367
Come on, man.
792
00:26:40,467 --> 00:26:41,368
Get the [bleep]

Get the [bleep] out of here.

[bleep] out of here, man.
795
00:26:43,637 --> 00:26:45,105
Due to high demand, get
the [bleep] out of here.
796
00:26:45,205 --> 00:26:46,406
You tricked me into
eating a vegetable.
797
00:26:46,507 --> 00:26:47,474
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
798
00:26:47,574 --> 00:26:48,475
You're not white.
799
00:26:48,575 --> 00:26:51,078
You're Latin?
800
00:26:51,144 --> 00:26:52,279
Get the [bleep]
out of here, man.
801
00:26:52,379 --> 00:26:53,647
Huh?
I'm sorry.
802
00:26:53,747 --> 00:26:56,250
What I meant to say was get
the [bleep] out of here, man.

I hope that clarifies.
805
00:27:00,787 --> 00:27:02,489
Saying that's what
I meant to say.
806
00:27:02,589 --> 00:27:05,893

807
00:27:07,192 --> 00:27:12,598

808
00:27:12,698 --> 00:27:15,400
Welcome back to the very
final episode of The Daily
809
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,369
Show with Trevor Noah.
810
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:18,670
That's right.
811
00:27:18,770 --> 00:27:21,473
Just a few more hours before
I fly back home to Africa.
812
00:27:21,573 --> 00:27:22,841
Rafiki is holding
up the new kid.
813
00:27:22,941 --> 00:27:24,309
We've all got to be there.
It's a thing.
814
00:27:24,409 --> 00:27:26,345
But, before I go,
I wanted to hang
815
00:27:26,445 --> 00:27:28,680
out one more time with my
good friend Neal Brennan.
816
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:30,949
He's a three-time
Emmy-nominated writer,
817
00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:33,719
director, producer,
and standup comedian.
818
00:27:33,819 --> 00:27:36,989
His latest Netflix special,
Blocks, is streaming
819
00:27:37,089 --> 00:27:38,190
right now on Netflix.
820
00:27:38,290 --> 00:27:41,760
And tickets for his
national Brand New Neal tour
821
00:27:41,860 --> 00:27:43,896

822
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,665
Please, welcome my good
friend Neal Brennan.
823
00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:49,101
[music playing]
824
00:27:49,201 --> 00:27:56,208
[cheering]
825
00:28:02,347 --> 00:28:03,749
Oh, Neal Brennan.
826
00:28:03,849 --> 00:28:04,750
Hey, buddy.
827
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:05,951
A lot of people
don't know how
828
00:28:06,051 --> 00:28:07,286
many of the stories
in this building
829
00:28:07,386 --> 00:28:08,787
started outside
of the building.
830
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:09,955
We work together on this show.
831
00:28:10,055 --> 00:28:12,357
But I've known you-- how
long have I known you now?
832
00:28:12,457 --> 00:28:13,692
I think it's 13 years.
833
00:28:13,792 --> 00:28:15,127
- 13 years.
- Yeah.
834
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:16,228
We met-- we--
835
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:18,864
I-- OK, so we met--
836
00:28:18,964 --> 00:28:22,200
we were both in
Denver doing comedy.
837
00:28:22,301 --> 00:28:23,569
TREVOR NOAH: No, that's
not where we met.
838
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:24,603
You know where we actually met?
839
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:25,604
We met at the Comedy Store.
840
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,272
We met at the
Comedy Store in LA.
841
00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:29,308
And I remember watching
you, and I was like, you
842
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:30,809
are a very funny person.
843
00:28:30,876 --> 00:28:32,077
And I'd seen your
Twitter at the time.
844
00:28:32,177 --> 00:28:33,545
That's when people were still
telling jokes on Twitter.
845
00:28:33,645 --> 00:28:34,813
NEAL BRENNAN: Yeah.
846
00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:36,682
And I was like, man, I was
like, you're Neal Brennan.
847
00:28:36,815 --> 00:28:37,816
I was like, you're
really funny.
848
00:28:37,849 --> 00:28:38,817
And we spoke a little bit.
849
00:28:38,850 --> 00:28:39,818
And you were just like, who--
850
00:28:39,851 --> 00:28:40,819
what is this?
851
00:28:40,852 --> 00:28:42,120
What is happening right now?
852
00:28:42,220 --> 00:28:43,855
A lot of people gave me that.
You just do this, you know?
853
00:28:43,956 --> 00:28:45,157
- Yeah.
- But you weren't mean.
854
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:46,258
You were just confused.
855
00:28:46,358 --> 00:28:47,292
Yeah.
856
00:28:47,392 --> 00:28:48,560
And then we chatted
for a little bit.
857
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:49,995
And then I said,
oh, I'll follow you.
858
00:28:50,095 --> 00:28:52,030
And then I followed
you on Twitter.
859
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,833
And then I remember
the next time we spoke,
860
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:56,201
you sent me a message
because you said,
861
00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:58,036
hey, who the hell are you?
862
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:01,473
Because I have a whole
bunch of exclamation marks
863
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:04,443
and Africans in my
mentions right now.
864
00:29:04,543 --> 00:29:06,445
Because I remember because one
of my friends followed you,
865
00:29:06,545 --> 00:29:07,613
[inaudible],, and
you're like, that
866
00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:08,780
doesn't-- that's not possible.
867
00:29:08,847 --> 00:29:09,982
Yeah, I can't even say that.
868
00:29:10,082 --> 00:29:12,217
[laughs] And that's actually
how we became friends.
869
00:29:12,317 --> 00:29:13,218
Yes.
870
00:29:13,318 --> 00:29:14,486
I brought Africans
into your life.
871
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:15,587
Yeah, thank you.
872
00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:16,788
[laughter]
873
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:21,460
I never met one before you.
874
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,295
All right, so, no, the
story I like telling
875
00:29:23,395 --> 00:29:26,164
is so 10 years ago,
we worked in Denver.
876
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:28,367
You were at the Improv.
877
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:29,801
No, I wasn't.
I never played there.
878
00:29:29,902 --> 00:29:31,169
Where were you?
879
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:33,305
I was at-- it was called like
a Funny Bone, or it was a--
880
00:29:33,405 --> 00:29:34,406
So not even an Improv.
881
00:29:34,506 --> 00:29:35,540
I've never played the--
882
00:29:35,641 --> 00:29:36,875
I had never played any
of the premium clubs.
883
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:37,876
We were there
for the weekend.
884
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:38,911
Yes.
885
00:29:39,011 --> 00:29:39,878
We were both getting
300 bucks a show.
886
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:40,879
TREVOR NOAH: Yes.
887
00:29:40,979 --> 00:29:42,547
And I-- and you
like, I'm pretty big
888
00:29:42,648 --> 00:29:44,049
in South Africa and Europe.
889
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:47,352
And I was like,
get out of here.
890
00:29:47,452 --> 00:29:49,821
Like, literally,
get out of here.
891
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:51,490
And he got out of here.
892
00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:53,458
He literally left.
893
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:54,560
And then-- and then--
894
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,028
- Well, you're not doing--
- Because I told--
895
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:57,029
But you're not doing
it service though.
896
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:58,196
You're not doing--
Neal makes it sound
897
00:29:58,297 --> 00:29:59,831
like he's grumpier than he is.
898
00:29:59,865 --> 00:30:02,100
What happened was we didn't
know we were both in town.
899
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,335
Yes.
900
00:30:03,435 --> 00:30:05,337
And then I saw a post,
and I was like, Neal's here.
901
00:30:05,437 --> 00:30:06,772
I was like, oh, let's meet.
And then we met.
902
00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:08,106
One of your South
African friends
903
00:30:08,206 --> 00:30:09,107
let you know I was in Denver.
904
00:30:09,207 --> 00:30:10,275
Yeah.
905
00:30:10,375 --> 00:30:11,810
[laughs] And so then
we were like, let's meet.
906
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:13,312
And we're going
to grab some food.
907
00:30:13,412 --> 00:30:14,513
And we met downtown Denver.
908
00:30:14,613 --> 00:30:15,781
Yes.
909
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:17,149
And we're eating at this
little spot, and it was tacos.
910
00:30:17,249 --> 00:30:18,550
I don't know what it was.
And we're having a meal.
911
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:20,786
And we're chatting about how
hard it is being on the road.
912
00:30:20,886 --> 00:30:21,787
Yeah.
913
00:30:21,887 --> 00:30:23,155
How we're both
getting $300 and that
914
00:30:23,255 --> 00:30:24,823
you still have to
pay your own airfare,
915
00:30:24,923 --> 00:30:27,125
and it basically equals
nothing when you get back home.
916
00:30:27,226 --> 00:30:28,126
- Yes.
- Right?
917
00:30:28,227 --> 00:30:29,928
And then you said
to me, I don't
918
00:30:30,028 --> 00:30:33,498
get why you're doing this
because you're huge back home.
919
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:35,234
And I'm like, yeah,
but I love this.
920
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:37,502
And you're like,
you're delusional.
921
00:30:37,603 --> 00:30:38,804
And then you said,
what's your dream?
922
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:39,938
And I said, I just want
to keep doing comedy
923
00:30:40,038 --> 00:30:41,273
and have as much
fun as possible.
924
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,642
And you said, well,
America doesn't tolerate
925
00:30:43,809 --> 00:30:45,677
people with accents on TV.
926
00:30:45,811 --> 00:30:47,179
So you should leave.
927
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,248
[laughter]
928
00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:51,550
And at that time,
I was correct.
929
00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:53,118
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, yeah.
930
00:30:53,218 --> 00:30:54,119
Yeah.
931
00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:55,287
OK?
932
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:59,258
In my defense, once
Oliver started doing good,
933
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,359
I literally called
you and said--
934
00:31:00,459 --> 00:31:01,627
TREVOR NOAH: I will
never forget this.
935
00:31:01,727 --> 00:31:02,828
I said, come back.
936
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:03,996
[laughter]
937
00:31:04,096 --> 00:31:06,398
I'll never forget that call.
938
00:31:06,498 --> 00:31:08,467
Oh, man.
939
00:31:08,567 --> 00:31:09,568
I'll never forget that call.
940
00:31:09,668 --> 00:31:12,271
And now the thing
that people don't know
941
00:31:12,371 --> 00:31:14,473
is three months I called
you and was like, all
942
00:31:14,573 --> 00:31:15,474
right, that's enough.
943
00:31:15,574 --> 00:31:17,309
[laughs] That's not true.
944
00:31:17,409 --> 00:31:19,478
You've been here
from the beginning.
945
00:31:19,578 --> 00:31:20,879
What I've loved
about your journey--
946
00:31:20,979 --> 00:31:21,947
because it's not
about me-- it's
947
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:24,650
also about you--
is a lot of people
948
00:31:24,783 --> 00:31:27,252
know Neal as one
of the smartest,
949
00:31:27,352 --> 00:31:29,288
funniest people you ever worked
with in the comedy industry.
950
00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:31,857
He's worked with the greatest
comedians you can imagine.
951
00:31:31,957 --> 00:31:33,892
You know a great comedian--
he's worked with them
952
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:35,160
in some way, shape, or form.
953
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:38,297
He is slowly turning
into, in my opinion, one
954
00:31:38,397 --> 00:31:41,433
of the most unique and
funny and original comedians
955
00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:42,434
that are out there.
956
00:31:42,534 --> 00:31:44,069
And, like, I've
watched your journey.
957
00:31:44,169 --> 00:31:47,839
Your new special on Netflix
is phenomenal because you're
958
00:31:47,940 --> 00:31:49,174
not just doing comedy.
959
00:31:49,274 --> 00:31:51,910
But, you know, you're creating
different types of shows.
960
00:31:52,010 --> 00:31:53,712
You're enjoying it.
You're playing with it.
961
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:55,814
And your new special, Blocks,
I've told you this personally,
962
00:31:55,881 --> 00:31:56,815
but it's amazing.
963
00:31:56,882 --> 00:31:58,016
It's funny.
964
00:31:58,116 --> 00:32:00,385
People have commented on
how heartbreaking and funny
965
00:32:00,485 --> 00:32:02,487
it is, how poignant
and honest it is.
966
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,957
Because you break down what it
means to be a liberal, how you
967
00:32:05,057 --> 00:32:08,026
try and identify yourself, how
we as people don't communicate
968
00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:10,362
anymore, what it means
to grow up in a household
969
00:32:10,462 --> 00:32:14,132
where parents didn't know how
to love you, what abuse was.
970
00:32:14,233 --> 00:32:15,434
It feels like it's
such a vulnerable--
971
00:32:15,534 --> 00:32:16,435
It sounds hilarious.
972
00:32:16,535 --> 00:32:18,604
[laughter]
973
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:19,938
That's my point.
974
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:21,073
But that's my point.
975
00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:22,841
Like, who would think,
yeah, that's the show
976
00:32:22,941 --> 00:32:24,843
that I'm going to make,
and it will be hilarious?
977
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:29,181
Yeah, it worked
out pretty well.
978
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:31,483
I'm the final guest
on The Daily Show,
979
00:32:31,583 --> 00:32:32,784
so that's pretty cool.
980
00:32:32,851 --> 00:32:34,987
[cheering]
981
00:32:35,087 --> 00:32:35,988
No, it worked out.
982
00:32:36,088 --> 00:32:38,657
I had the idea for the show.
983
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:41,627
And it is about the ways I
don't feel like I fit in.
984
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:46,798
Even, like, recycling, I don't
know how to do correctly.
985
00:32:46,899 --> 00:32:49,468
Like, whenever I
throw something away,
986
00:32:49,568 --> 00:32:50,936
and it's in one of those
garbage cans that's
987
00:32:51,036 --> 00:32:52,971
got like a garbage
hole, a recycling
988
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,807
hole, and a compost
hole, I do my best.
989
00:32:55,908 --> 00:32:59,011
But afterward, I'm like, I
don't think I did that right.
990
00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:03,015
Like, that happens kind of
across the board in my life.
991
00:33:03,115 --> 00:33:04,182
I'm not married.
992
00:33:04,283 --> 00:33:05,183
I don't have kids.
993
00:33:05,284 --> 00:33:06,385
Like, I don't eat meat.
994
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:07,586
I don't drink that--
995
00:33:07,753 --> 00:33:09,187
I just-- I'm kind of an
outlier in a lot of ways.
996
00:33:09,288 --> 00:33:10,188
But I figured out--
997
00:33:10,289 --> 00:33:11,189
TREVOR NOAH: But
you're very funny.
998
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:12,190
But I am very Funny
999
00:33:12,291 --> 00:33:13,292
TREVOR NOAH: You are, indeed.
1000
00:33:13,392 --> 00:33:14,526
But-- yeah, but
I figured out a way
1001
00:33:14,626 --> 00:33:16,962
to synthesize it into a show.
1002
00:33:17,062 --> 00:33:19,464
Your new-- can I talk about
your new Netflix special?
1003
00:33:19,565 --> 00:33:20,666
TREVOR NOAH: Oh,
why, yes, you can.
1004
00:33:20,766 --> 00:33:21,667
Sure.
1005
00:33:21,767 --> 00:33:23,001
TREVOR NOAH: [laughs]
Now that you're
1006
00:33:23,101 --> 00:33:25,337
here, now that you're here.
1007
00:33:25,437 --> 00:33:27,873
No, I told you
I thought it's one
1008
00:33:27,973 --> 00:33:30,175
of the probably your-- my
favorite special of yours.
1009
00:33:30,275 --> 00:33:31,243
Yeah, which you never say.
1010
00:33:31,343 --> 00:33:32,444
Yeah, I--
1011
00:33:32,544 --> 00:33:33,579
TREVOR NOAH: No, no, and
I mean this in a good way.
1012
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:34,780
You're not one of
those people who
1013
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,481
just says words like
favorite, best, I like, or--
1014
00:33:36,582 --> 00:33:37,649
- Amazing.
- No, you don't.
1015
00:33:37,783 --> 00:33:39,451
- Yeah.
- You don't.
1016
00:33:39,551 --> 00:33:42,387
But it really, to me,
was, like, your strongest,
1017
00:33:42,487 --> 00:33:43,989
cleanest, best material.
TREVOR NOAH: Thank you.
1018
00:33:44,089 --> 00:33:44,990
Thank you very much.
1019
00:33:45,090 --> 00:33:46,258
It was hard for
both of us because--
1020
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:47,926
and not just us--
many comedians,
1021
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:49,795
many touring
artists, many-- like,
1022
00:33:49,895 --> 00:33:53,432
everyone from people who are
running, building the stage.
1023
00:33:53,532 --> 00:33:55,801
Everyone was struggling
because of COVID.
1024
00:33:55,901 --> 00:33:57,469
People couldn't go to
offices, et cetera.
1025
00:33:57,569 --> 00:33:59,438
But touring was decimated.
1026
00:33:59,538 --> 00:34:00,539
Everyone we worked
with was gone.
1027
00:34:00,639 --> 00:34:01,673
Building a show
was really hard.
1028
00:34:01,807 --> 00:34:03,141
I wonder if you went
through the same thing.
1029
00:34:03,242 --> 00:34:05,577
Because I was panicking
about whether or not
1030
00:34:05,677 --> 00:34:07,613
I'd be able to make
the show what it was.
1031
00:34:07,746 --> 00:34:10,048
And then you were also
building a show when
1032
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:11,250
everyone was wearing masks.
1033
00:34:11,350 --> 00:34:12,851
No one could even sit together.
1034
00:34:12,951 --> 00:34:14,419
Like, was that hard for you?
1035
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:15,621
NEAL BRENNAN:
Well, I didn't know
1036
00:34:15,754 --> 00:34:16,955
how much to talk about it.
Do you know what I mean?
1037
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:18,190
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, yeah.
1038
00:34:18,290 --> 00:34:19,958
Because I couldn't tell
if people wanted to hear it
1039
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,126
or didn't want to hear it.
1040
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:22,461
TREVOR NOAH: It was both.
- I know.
1041
00:34:22,561 --> 00:34:23,462
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah.
- So I would do it--
1042
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:24,563
TREVOR NOAH: I was
like, it's over.
1043
00:34:24,663 --> 00:34:25,464
Don't say anything.
But what is your joke?
1044
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:26,765
Yeah, but go ahead.
Go ahead.
1045
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:27,799
Yeah.
1046
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:30,769
So I had a couple, like,
fast jokes up front.
1047
00:34:30,836 --> 00:34:32,871
And then I would just
get into the show
1048
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:35,274
because I think people
want you to acknowledge it.
1049
00:34:35,374 --> 00:34:38,343
But they don't want to harp
on it to bump them out.
1050
00:34:38,443 --> 00:34:40,279
TREVOR NOAH: I would love to
know, from the first time you
1051
00:34:40,379 --> 00:34:43,315
and I hung out on the show
and spoke about depression--
1052
00:34:43,415 --> 00:34:45,684
we spoke about anxiety.
1053
00:34:45,784 --> 00:34:48,086
We spoke-- you know, it's
stuff comedians talk about.
1054
00:34:48,186 --> 00:34:49,788
[laughter]
1055
00:34:49,888 --> 00:34:53,492
I'd love to know if you feel
like you've healed a lot more,
1056
00:34:53,592 --> 00:34:54,860
if you've grown a lot more.
1057
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,095
And for people who've
been on a similar journey
1058
00:34:57,195 --> 00:34:59,364
to you, what some of your
best advice for them would be.
1059
00:34:59,464 --> 00:35:02,634
NEAL BRENNAN: I've
done a ton of stuff.
1060
00:35:02,801 --> 00:35:05,137
I did a thing called TMS,
transcranial magnetic
1061
00:35:05,237 --> 00:35:06,138
stimulation for depression.
1062
00:35:06,238 --> 00:35:08,073
That was really helpful.
1063
00:35:08,173 --> 00:35:09,141
I did ketamine.
1064
00:35:09,241 --> 00:35:10,208
Did you--
1065
00:35:10,309 --> 00:35:11,243
- Ketamine therapy?
- Ketamine therapy.
1066
00:35:11,343 --> 00:35:12,244
OK.
1067
00:35:12,344 --> 00:35:13,378
I didn't just
do it at a club.
1068
00:35:13,478 --> 00:35:14,379
Yeah, it sounds like you
just did it at a party.
1069
00:35:14,479 --> 00:35:15,380
That's what it sounded
like you did it.
1070
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,481
I did ketamine.
- Yeah.
1071
00:35:16,582 --> 00:35:17,849
I got drunk.
I got lit.
1072
00:35:17,950 --> 00:35:19,851
I got turnt.
[laughter]
1073
00:35:19,952 --> 00:35:21,486
It really helped.
1074
00:35:21,587 --> 00:35:26,258
No, so ketamine, TMS,
ayahuasca, I've just--
1075
00:35:26,358 --> 00:35:28,560
I'll do-- not like
I'll do anything,
1076
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:32,931
but I'll like-- yeah,
I'll do anything.
1077
00:35:33,031 --> 00:35:35,500
But I feel like you've
done stuff also.
1078
00:35:35,601 --> 00:35:36,969
This is another way
in which we connect.
1079
00:35:37,069 --> 00:35:38,303
TREVOR NOAH: I think
therapy is amazing.
1080
00:35:38,403 --> 00:35:40,372
I think you should always
be working on yourself.
1081
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:43,775
But, like, you've always
been the person who's gone,
1082
00:35:43,809 --> 00:35:46,044
I'm a tortured soul,
and there's no hope.
1083
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:47,546
You say that in your comedy.
1084
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:48,914
Right?
1085
00:35:49,014 --> 00:35:51,283
And I feel like over the years
I've seen a glimmer of hope
1086
00:35:51,383 --> 00:35:52,284
in your eyes.
1087
00:35:52,384 --> 00:35:53,619
I'm a little--
1088
00:35:53,785 --> 00:35:54,920
I'm a little sunnier
than I used to be.
1089
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:56,088
- You are a little sunnier.
- I know.
1090
00:35:56,188 --> 00:35:57,089
- You are.
- I know.
1091
00:35:57,189 --> 00:35:58,090
It's pretty cute.
- It is.
1092
00:35:58,190 --> 00:36:00,392
[laughter]
1093
00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:01,793
Got a burgundy suit.
1094
00:36:01,827 --> 00:36:02,794
Come on.
1095
00:36:02,828 --> 00:36:04,496
What do you want?
1096
00:36:04,596 --> 00:36:05,797
So to that-- not
to be too mushy,
1097
00:36:05,864 --> 00:36:07,599
but to that Neal Brennan
who's sitting out there right
1098
00:36:07,733 --> 00:36:09,201
now and goes, I'm anxious.
1099
00:36:09,301 --> 00:36:10,335
I'm depressed.
1100
00:36:10,435 --> 00:36:11,970
I don't think anybody
in the world loves me.
1101
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:13,405
I don't think there's
any future for me.
1102
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,374
What do you say to them?
1103
00:36:15,474 --> 00:36:17,876
NEAL BRENNAN: Just
keep saving your money.
1104
00:36:17,976 --> 00:36:18,877
And--
1105
00:36:18,977 --> 00:36:22,881
[laughter]
1106
00:36:22,981 --> 00:36:24,549
Invest in a Roth IRA.
1107
00:36:24,650 --> 00:36:26,952
No.
1108
00:36:27,052 --> 00:36:28,854
Just keep trying.
1109
00:36:28,954 --> 00:36:31,924
That's the thing is because it
is-- the thing with depression
1110
00:36:32,024 --> 00:36:34,026
and anxiety and all these
mental health things,
1111
00:36:34,126 --> 00:36:35,827
they don't really
know what does what.
1112
00:36:35,928 --> 00:36:36,828
Yeah.
1113
00:36:36,929 --> 00:36:38,764
So you have to
keep trying and not
1114
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:43,535
get too discouraged about
if one thing doesn't work,
1115
00:36:43,635 --> 00:36:45,504
then you're broken or
screwed or whatever.
1116
00:36:45,604 --> 00:36:47,306
Like, you just
try another thing.
1117
00:36:47,406 --> 00:36:49,474
It's like standup, where
you just do a joke.
1118
00:36:49,575 --> 00:36:50,509
And it's like, oh,
you don't like that.
1119
00:36:50,609 --> 00:36:51,510
All right, we'll do another.
1120
00:36:51,610 --> 00:36:52,511
TREVOR NOAH: Try another one.
1121
00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:54,479
Yeah, and just go
on and on and on.
1122
00:36:54,580 --> 00:36:55,914
Do I worry for you?
1123
00:36:56,014 --> 00:36:58,116
Yeah, I have some worries.
1124
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:00,786
I worry what's going to happen
when you wake up tomorrow
1125
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:02,788
at 1:00 in the afternoon.
1126
00:37:02,854 --> 00:37:04,590
Do you realize that you're
not going to be the host
1127
00:37:04,690 --> 00:37:06,024
of The Daily Show anymore?
1128
00:37:06,124 --> 00:37:08,527
Yeah, you're just going to
be a best-selling author
1129
00:37:08,627 --> 00:37:11,363
who does comedy in sold-out
arenas around the world.
1130
00:37:11,463 --> 00:37:17,936

[laughter]
1133
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:24,543
So, buddy, it is my great
honor, on behalf of everyone
1134
00:37:24,643 --> 00:37:28,380
here and at home to
give you your flowers.
1135
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,716
Oh, thank you, Neal.
1136
00:37:30,816 --> 00:37:34,519
[cheering]
1137
00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:35,587
Thank you so much for that.
1138
00:37:35,687 --> 00:37:36,655
Thank you.
1139
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:39,324
Also, as someone
quitting a job in America,
1140
00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:40,792
you're about to lose
your health insurance.
1141
00:37:40,893 --> 00:37:44,162
You should probably
sign up for COBRA.
1142
00:37:44,263 --> 00:37:46,431
I brought all the
necessary forms.
1143
00:37:46,531 --> 00:37:47,399
Love you, buddy.
1144
00:37:47,499 --> 00:37:48,533
Congratulations.
1145
00:37:48,634 --> 00:37:49,568
Trevor Noah, everybody!
1146
00:37:49,668 --> 00:37:50,569
Neal Brennan, everybody.
1147
00:37:50,669 --> 00:37:52,371
[cheering]
1148
00:37:52,471 --> 00:37:53,572
Thank you so much.
1149
00:37:53,672 --> 00:37:54,573
You're right.
1150
00:37:54,673 --> 00:37:56,475
I don't like [inaudible].
1151
00:37:56,575 --> 00:37:57,643
We're going to
take a quick break.
1152
00:37:57,743 --> 00:37:59,611
But we'll be right
back after this.
1153
00:37:59,711 --> 00:38:06,785
[cheering]
1154
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:12,524
[music playing]
1155
00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:15,027
Hello, Trevor!
1156
00:38:15,127 --> 00:38:16,895
Trevor Noah, I
just want to say
1157
00:38:16,995 --> 00:38:22,501
congratulations on an amazing
run as host of The Daily Show.
1158
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:24,670
You should be so proud
of the work you've done
1159
00:38:24,803 --> 00:38:27,039
over these past seven years.
1160
00:38:27,139 --> 00:38:30,208
Trevor, oh, Trevor,
you are so clever.
1161
00:38:30,309 --> 00:38:33,211
We wish you much luck in
your future endeavors.
1162
00:38:33,312 --> 00:38:34,980
At the end of a
long day, having
1163
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,551
you there to make us laugh and
inform us, it meant the world.
1164
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:42,888
You always found humor
and were a shining light.
1165
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:45,324
You were able to
talk to us through some
1166
00:38:45,424 --> 00:38:49,127
of the most challenging and
historic moments of our lives.
1167
00:38:49,228 --> 00:38:51,863
So thanks for getting
us through, you know,
1168
00:38:51,964 --> 00:38:53,365
some bad times.
1169
00:38:53,465 --> 00:38:55,367
So many bad times.
1170
00:38:55,467 --> 00:38:58,036
A lot of bad times.
1171
00:38:58,136 --> 00:39:00,639
Like, a lot of bad times.
1172
00:39:00,739 --> 00:39:05,510
[laughs] You know, now that
I'm saying this shit out loud,
1173
00:39:05,611 --> 00:39:09,047
it didn't get bad until
you showed up, actually.
1174
00:39:09,147 --> 00:39:10,048
Um--
1175
00:39:10,148 --> 00:39:11,049
Yeah, hold up.
1176
00:39:11,149 --> 00:39:13,218
You started, like,
seven years ago?
1177
00:39:13,318 --> 00:39:15,787
Like, right when
Trump showed up?
1178
00:39:15,854 --> 00:39:19,992
Trump and the pandemic
were on your watch.
1179
00:39:20,092 --> 00:39:22,561
OK, there's no way
that's a coincidence.
1180
00:39:22,661 --> 00:39:24,162
Jesus, Trevor.
1181
00:39:24,263 --> 00:39:25,530
This is all your fault.
1182
00:39:25,631 --> 00:39:27,900
You killed the
queen, didn't you?
1183
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,501
You sick [bleep].
1184
00:39:29,601 --> 00:39:30,802
I was rooting for you.
1185
00:39:30,836 --> 00:39:32,905
It would be great if
you could leave fast.
1186
00:39:33,005 --> 00:39:35,941
Thank you for finally
ending your reign of terror.
1187
00:39:36,041 --> 00:39:37,175
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
1188
00:39:37,276 --> 00:39:38,176
Thanks.
1189
00:39:38,277 --> 00:39:39,711
The queen!
1190
00:39:39,811 --> 00:39:40,913
Damn.
1191
00:39:41,013 --> 00:39:43,248
Can't wait to
see what's next.
1192
00:39:43,348 --> 00:39:45,918
[blows kiss]
1193
00:39:45,616 --> 00:39:46,083
Thank you again for
being here, everyone.
1194
00:39:46,183 --> 00:39:46,950
It's been fun.
1195
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:54,058
[cheering, applause]
1196
00:40:00,664 --> 00:40:02,433
I mean, I don't
know if I mentioned,
1197
00:40:02,533 --> 00:40:05,569
it is my final show,
final episode of The Daily
1198
00:40:05,669 --> 00:40:07,404
Show with Trevor Noah.
1199
00:40:07,504 --> 00:40:09,973
And don't be sad.
1200
00:40:10,074 --> 00:40:12,676
I know a lot of people are
sad, but please don't be sad.
1201
00:40:12,776 --> 00:40:15,446
You should be happy
that an African leader
1202
00:40:15,546 --> 00:40:19,083
is peacefully leaving power.
1203
00:40:19,183 --> 00:40:20,484
That's never a guarantee.
1204
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:23,053
It's never a guarantee.
1205
00:40:23,153 --> 00:40:24,488
It's really hard to
believe it's been seven
1206
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:26,156
years at the desk, you know.
1207
00:40:26,256 --> 00:40:27,991
I was thinking-- everyone
asks me about that.
1208
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:28,992
They say, seven years.
1209
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:30,094
Can you believe it?
1210
00:40:30,194 --> 00:40:34,264
It doesn't feel like
seven years, you know.
1211
00:40:34,364 --> 00:40:35,265
Well, not all at the desk.
1212
00:40:35,365 --> 00:40:36,834
Obviously, I went
home in-between.
1213
00:40:36,934 --> 00:40:38,102
Yeah.
1214
00:40:38,202 --> 00:40:39,636
But still, it's
been a wild ride.
1215
00:40:39,737 --> 00:40:40,971
You know?
1216
00:40:41,071 --> 00:40:46,977
And some of the people I
work with-- some of you
1217
00:40:47,077 --> 00:40:49,046
have been asking me between the
scenes, what have you learned
1218
00:40:49,146 --> 00:40:50,314
at your time in America?
1219
00:40:50,414 --> 00:40:52,082
What have you learned
at your time and--
1220
00:40:52,182 --> 00:40:53,150
you know.
1221
00:40:53,250 --> 00:40:55,953
And I would never
pretend to understand
1222
00:40:56,053 --> 00:41:02,393
America in a relatively short
time I think I've been here.
1223
00:41:02,493 --> 00:41:05,496
I don't think I know much about
anything, the more I learn,
1224
00:41:05,629 --> 00:41:07,931
funny enough.
1225
00:41:08,031 --> 00:41:09,299
But when I thought
about it, I realized
1226
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,270
there were three main lessons
that I've learned in my time
1227
00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:17,341
being privileged enough to
host the show that you've been
1228
00:41:17,441 --> 00:41:19,076
wonderful enough to watch.
1229
00:41:19,176 --> 00:41:23,847
And the first lesson I
learned is something that took
1230
00:41:23,947 --> 00:41:25,983
me a long time to realize.
1231
00:41:26,083 --> 00:41:31,021
Issues are real, but politics
are just an invented way
1232
00:41:31,121 --> 00:41:33,757
to solve those issues.
1233
00:41:33,857 --> 00:41:35,526
Don't ever forget that.
1234
00:41:35,659 --> 00:41:37,661
I, in the very
beginning, also got
1235
00:41:37,694 --> 00:41:39,930
sucked into the whole
Republican, Democrat,
1236
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:42,266
and it's like, oh, this
is the way it should be.
1237
00:41:42,366 --> 00:41:46,103
The Republican-- yet, it's not
actually the way it should be.
1238
00:41:46,203 --> 00:41:47,471
It's not even the way it is.
1239
00:41:47,604 --> 00:41:48,672
It's not a binary.
1240
00:41:48,772 --> 00:41:50,908
There are not just two
ways to solve any problem.
1241
00:41:51,008 --> 00:41:53,010
There are not just
two ways to be.
1242
00:41:53,110 --> 00:41:57,247
I'm eternally grateful to a
man who I met as a stranger,
1243
00:41:57,347 --> 00:41:58,382
funny enough.
1244
00:41:58,482 --> 00:42:00,818
And he said something
really beautiful to me.
1245
00:42:00,918 --> 00:42:03,921
We're walking through
Harlem, and he said to me,
1246
00:42:04,021 --> 00:42:05,622
he said, you know, Trevor,
one of the greatest
1247
00:42:05,656 --> 00:42:07,825
lies they tell you in America--
they tell you that-- they tell
1248
00:42:07,925 --> 00:42:09,626
you that America is
two political parties,
1249
00:42:09,727 --> 00:42:10,761
Republicans and Democrats.
1250
00:42:10,861 --> 00:42:12,162
And he said, but
I'll tell you now,
1251
00:42:12,262 --> 00:42:14,631
it's Republicans, Democrats,
and it's Black people,
1252
00:42:14,665 --> 00:42:16,734
and every other person of color
who's trying to make a name
1253
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:18,402
or do something for themselves.
1254
00:42:18,502 --> 00:42:19,636
And that stuck with
me, and it made
1255
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,472
me think about American
politics differently.
1256
00:42:21,638 --> 00:42:23,941
Made me realize that we get
tricked a lot of the time,
1257
00:42:24,041 --> 00:42:25,909
not just in America, but
everywhere in the world,
1258
00:42:26,009 --> 00:42:28,645
into liking or not liking
something based more
1259
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,081
on the tribe that
it comes from,
1260
00:42:31,181 --> 00:42:32,483
the tribe that
it emanates from,
1261
00:42:32,649 --> 00:42:34,852
than what the idea actually is.
1262
00:42:34,952 --> 00:42:36,653
It's whether they
put that little R
1263
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:40,124
or that D next to somebody's
name in a newspaper article
1264
00:42:40,224 --> 00:42:43,994
that defines how you feel about
it, when in fact, somebody
1265
00:42:44,094 --> 00:42:46,363
that you may not agree
with on most things
1266
00:42:46,463 --> 00:42:49,032
can do something that you like.
1267
00:42:49,133 --> 00:42:51,902
They could do something
that you agree with.
1268
00:42:52,002 --> 00:42:53,437
And I think as we
live in a society
1269
00:42:53,604 --> 00:42:55,739
where we increasingly introduce
ourselves with the things that
1270
00:42:55,839 --> 00:42:57,808
separates us, we forget
that real friendships
1271
00:42:57,908 --> 00:43:00,177
come from the similarities.
1272
00:43:00,277 --> 00:43:02,513
And then, the disagreements
are how we polish
1273
00:43:02,613 --> 00:43:03,714
each other as human beings.
1274
00:43:03,814 --> 00:43:04,715
I'm not saying you'll
agree with everyone.
1275
00:43:04,815 --> 00:43:05,849
Don't get me wrong.
1276
00:43:05,949 --> 00:43:07,851
It's not like kumbaya
and everything works.
1277
00:43:07,951 --> 00:43:09,653
I'm not saying that.
1278
00:43:09,753 --> 00:43:11,422
But just remember that.
1279
00:43:11,522 --> 00:43:14,458
Like, Trump did prison
reform, you know?
1280
00:43:14,625 --> 00:43:17,461
I'm not saying now
you should like him.
1281
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:19,763
But it doesn't mean
you have to hate
1282
00:43:19,863 --> 00:43:21,532
the prison reform that he did.
1283
00:43:21,632 --> 00:43:22,766
You could be like,
I hate this guy,
1284
00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:23,967
but I'm not going to be there.
1285
00:43:24,068 --> 00:43:25,536
Like, Your Honor, I should
get a longer sentence,
1286
00:43:25,636 --> 00:43:28,539
because Trump did this shit.
1287
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:30,007
Issues aren't Democrat
or Republican.
1288
00:43:30,107 --> 00:43:31,642
That's all I'm
saying, and that's
1289
00:43:31,675 --> 00:43:34,311
all I wish I could have said a
lot more clearly on the show.
1290
00:43:34,411 --> 00:43:35,946
But sometimes in
the country, the way
1291
00:43:36,046 --> 00:43:37,681
the news is told, the way
it's delivered to you,
1292
00:43:37,781 --> 00:43:38,916
it makes it feel that way.
But it's not.
1293
00:43:39,016 --> 00:43:42,052
Clean water isn't a
Republican or Democrat issue.
1294
00:43:42,152 --> 00:43:45,022
Affordable housing isn't a
Republican or Democrat issue.
1295
00:43:45,122 --> 00:43:46,457
I don't care what
party you are.
1296
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:48,258
You're probably struggling
to pay for your rent.
1297
00:43:48,358 --> 00:43:50,060
You're probably
struggling to own a house
1298
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,462
or to buy something.
1299
00:43:51,595 --> 00:43:54,598
Crime is not a Republican
or a Democrat issue.
1300
00:43:54,665 --> 00:43:56,767
It's oftentimes something
that New York Times just
1301
00:43:56,867 --> 00:43:58,769
reports on because they listen
to everything the police say.
1302
00:43:58,869 --> 00:44:01,138
But that's another
story for another day.
1303
00:44:01,238 --> 00:44:03,741
Politics has transformed into
a giant game of football,
1304
00:44:03,841 --> 00:44:04,842
it feels like.
1305
00:44:04,942 --> 00:44:08,378
And just like
football, it turns
1306
00:44:08,479 --> 00:44:09,613
everybody's brains to mush.
1307
00:44:09,713 --> 00:44:11,715
But don't forget that.
1308
00:44:11,815 --> 00:44:13,450
Every time you
think of an issue,
1309
00:44:13,617 --> 00:44:14,852
don't think of it
through the lens
1310
00:44:14,952 --> 00:44:16,520
of Republican and Democrat.
1311
00:44:16,620 --> 00:44:17,821
Forget that for a moment.
1312
00:44:17,921 --> 00:44:19,623
Think about it
as a human being.
1313
00:44:19,723 --> 00:44:21,892
And then, figure out
which person in power
1314
00:44:21,992 --> 00:44:23,660
is actually trying to
do what you think needs
1315
00:44:23,761 --> 00:44:26,930
to be done about that issue.
1316
00:44:27,030 --> 00:44:29,366
The second lesson
I learned is, never
1317
00:44:29,466 --> 00:44:32,870
forget that context matters.
1318
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:36,740
Never forget how
much context matters.
1319
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,244
I feel like we live in an
age of limitless information
1320
00:44:40,344 --> 00:44:42,112
right now.
1321
00:44:42,212 --> 00:44:44,281
But we never seem to
acknowledge that there's
1322
00:44:44,381 --> 00:44:47,584
a shortage of context.
1323
00:44:47,651 --> 00:44:48,719
In many ways,
it's why I started
1324
00:44:48,819 --> 00:44:49,820
doing between the scenes.
1325
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,789
I realized, in the short
time I have on the show,
1326
00:44:51,889 --> 00:44:53,824
there's only so much I
can convey as a message.
1327
00:44:53,924 --> 00:44:56,727
And you know, that message
is, I understand, distilled
1328
00:44:56,827 --> 00:44:57,961
and synthesized for people.
1329
00:44:58,062 --> 00:45:01,098
But we process
everything in bytes.
1330
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:04,668
And we don't realize that we
have a lot of information,
1331
00:45:04,768 --> 00:45:07,438
but we don't have the context
that is so necessary for us
1332
00:45:07,604 --> 00:45:12,342
to process that information,
which is so important.
1333
00:45:12,443 --> 00:45:14,511
Context is everything.
1334
00:45:14,611 --> 00:45:17,614
It's truly everything.
1335
00:45:17,714 --> 00:45:18,816
We have information, though.
1336
00:45:18,916 --> 00:45:21,652
We know we know about a
flood in Pakistan in a way
1337
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:23,087
that we never would
have known before.
1338
00:45:23,187 --> 00:45:24,488
We know about protests in Iran.
1339
00:45:24,621 --> 00:45:27,691
We know about what the troop
movements are in Ukraine.
1340
00:45:27,791 --> 00:45:30,828
We know about a drought
in parts of Sudan.
1341
00:45:30,928 --> 00:45:33,263
We know all of these
things we know who
1342
00:45:33,363 --> 00:45:35,032
Pete Davidson is dating now.
1343
00:45:35,132 --> 00:45:39,036
Sometimes I feel like we know
it before he does, you know?
1344
00:45:39,136 --> 00:45:40,537
Yeah, he's just like, what?
1345
00:45:40,637 --> 00:45:41,538
I am?
1346
00:45:41,638 --> 00:45:43,006
Sweet.
1347
00:45:43,107 --> 00:45:45,309
But we don't have the
context oftentimes
1348
00:45:45,409 --> 00:45:48,712
when we make a decision, is
what I started realizing.
1349
00:45:48,812 --> 00:45:50,681
We see a clip, a video.
1350
00:45:50,781 --> 00:45:52,116
It's designed to make us angry.
1351
00:45:52,216 --> 00:45:53,617
We respond to it accordingly.
1352
00:45:53,717 --> 00:45:54,651
We don't know how it started.
1353
00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:55,686
We don't know how it ended.
1354
00:45:55,786 --> 00:45:57,588
We don't know what
the actual story is.
1355
00:45:57,621 --> 00:46:00,224
And context is so
important, for everything,
1356
00:46:00,324 --> 00:46:03,827
for every conversation, if
you think about it in life,
1357
00:46:03,927 --> 00:46:05,462
you know.
You see it.
1358
00:46:05,596 --> 00:46:06,597
It makes you angry.
1359
00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:07,898
You don't wonder why
it makes you angry.
1360
00:46:07,998 --> 00:46:09,600
You don't even know if it was
designed to make you angry.
1361
00:46:09,633 --> 00:46:10,601
You know?
1362
00:46:10,701 --> 00:46:11,902
I just, I've realized
it's so important
1363
00:46:12,002 --> 00:46:15,205
to protect yourself from that.
1364
00:46:15,305 --> 00:46:17,741
Try and find the context,
wherever you can.
1365
00:46:17,841 --> 00:46:19,610
Ask as many questions.
1366
00:46:19,643 --> 00:46:22,246
And it may slow you down in
being able to make a decision.
1367
00:46:22,346 --> 00:46:25,015
It may slow you down in
being able to form a take.
1368
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:27,251
But maybe that's a good thing.
1369
00:46:27,351 --> 00:46:29,053
Maybe we shouldn't have
an opinion immediately.
1370
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:32,156
Maybe we should wait
and see what happened.
1371
00:46:32,256 --> 00:46:34,625
See what the context is.
1372
00:46:34,691 --> 00:46:36,393
You don't know
what the video is.
1373
00:46:36,493 --> 00:46:37,795
We all see these videos.
1374
00:46:37,895 --> 00:46:41,432
Saw that video of that raccoon
attacking that little girl.
1375
00:46:41,532 --> 00:46:42,633
It was terrible.
1376
00:46:42,699 --> 00:46:46,303
But we don't know what
she did to the raccoon.
1377
00:46:46,403 --> 00:46:47,371
You know?
1378
00:46:47,471 --> 00:46:50,674
Maybe she sold the
raccoon some cocaine.
1379
00:46:50,774 --> 00:46:52,276
That was cocaine.
1380
00:46:52,376 --> 00:46:53,844
And the raccoon was like,
shit, this is flower?
1381
00:46:53,944 --> 00:46:57,848
Gah!
1382
00:46:57,948 --> 00:46:58,882
You know.
1383
00:46:58,982 --> 00:47:00,117
I think context is everything.
1384
00:47:00,217 --> 00:47:02,219
And I've experienced that
in many ways firsthand.
1385
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:06,056
I remember when I
started the show.
1386
00:47:06,156 --> 00:47:09,159
There were so many people that
hated me, genuinely hated me.
1387
00:47:09,259 --> 00:47:10,894
They hated the idea.
They hated how I look.
1388
00:47:10,994 --> 00:47:11,895
They hated my hair.
1389
00:47:11,995 --> 00:47:13,297
They hated my accent.
1390
00:47:13,397 --> 00:47:15,599
They hated everything about me,
my point of view, everything.
1391
00:47:15,632 --> 00:47:18,202
And then, I look
seven years later,
1392
00:47:18,302 --> 00:47:21,772
and now, those people
still hate me, but--
1393
00:47:21,872 --> 00:47:24,041
but for the right reasons now,
because now, they know me.
1394
00:47:24,141 --> 00:47:26,977
They understand me.
1395
00:47:27,077 --> 00:47:28,378
And obviously, there's
people who love me,
1396
00:47:28,479 --> 00:47:29,813
and I appreciate all
of you who come out
1397
00:47:29,913 --> 00:47:31,148
and enjoy the show with me.
1398
00:47:31,248 --> 00:47:33,617
But just remember, without
context, nothing makes sense,
1399
00:47:33,650 --> 00:47:36,086
whether it's international
traditions, norms, customs.
1400
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:37,921
We all think it's normal,
because we are in the place
1401
00:47:38,021 --> 00:47:38,922
that we're in.
1402
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:40,424
But as the world
becomes smaller,
1403
00:47:40,524 --> 00:47:41,725
we're also going to
compress everything
1404
00:47:41,825 --> 00:47:43,727
that we think is
right and is normal.
1405
00:47:43,827 --> 00:47:46,029
And it's going to create
a little bit of tension.
1406
00:47:46,130 --> 00:47:47,931
There isn't one
way, and we don't
1407
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:50,467
know what the one way is.
1408
00:47:50,567 --> 00:47:51,735
Context, people.
1409
00:47:51,835 --> 00:47:53,604
Please, don't forget that.
1410
00:47:53,704 --> 00:47:58,075
It's like how if you joke about
your own mom, then it's funny.
1411
00:47:58,175 --> 00:47:59,276
Right?
1412
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:02,279
But if I joke about your
mom, then it's hilarious.
1413
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:03,647
There's a difference.
1414
00:48:03,747 --> 00:48:06,316
You know?
1415
00:48:06,417 --> 00:48:10,354
And I guess the final lesson
I learned at the show--
1416
00:48:10,454 --> 00:48:11,755
and I learned it
not at the show
1417
00:48:11,855 --> 00:48:14,792
but because of the show and
the news I was covering-- is
1418
00:48:14,892 --> 00:48:16,360
please don't forget
that the world is
1419
00:48:16,460 --> 00:48:18,095
a friendlier place
than the internet
1420
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,497
and the news will
make you think.
1421
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:22,833
Just don't forget that.
1422
00:48:22,933 --> 00:48:26,003
I've been really
lucky to go out.
1423
00:48:26,103 --> 00:48:29,606
And my comedy has taken me
to places and to people.
1424
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,342
I've been lucky enough
to do comedy from Florida
1425
00:48:32,443 --> 00:48:35,312
all the way through
to Washington State.
1426
00:48:35,412 --> 00:48:37,414
I've been lucky enough to
travel around the world
1427
00:48:37,514 --> 00:48:39,783
and meet people,
and people are a lot
1428
00:48:39,883 --> 00:48:42,619
friendlier than social media
would have you believe.
1429
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:43,821
You know?
1430
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:46,223
I've had people who are
Republican voters who come
1431
00:48:46,323 --> 00:48:47,858
to my show, because even
their kids brought them,
1432
00:48:47,958 --> 00:48:49,093
and they go, I didn't
know I would laugh,
1433
00:48:49,193 --> 00:48:50,227
and I had a good time.
1434
00:48:50,327 --> 00:48:51,562
And I may not agree with
you, but maybe this--
1435
00:48:51,662 --> 00:48:52,563
but they see me as a human.
1436
00:48:52,663 --> 00:48:53,831
Maybe I talk to them.
1437
00:48:53,931 --> 00:48:55,599
I see them as a human in a
way that we didn't before.
1438
00:48:55,699 --> 00:48:58,802
People are a lot friendlier
than they'll have you believe.
1439
00:48:58,902 --> 00:49:01,338
The news is designed to
tell you what is happening,
1440
00:49:01,438 --> 00:49:03,640
and generally, what is bad
is what's going to make news.
1441
00:49:03,741 --> 00:49:06,744
But not everything is bad.
1442
00:49:06,844 --> 00:49:08,979
Old ladies aren't just being
punched everywhere in New
1443
00:49:09,079 --> 00:49:11,348
York City at every corner.
1444
00:49:11,448 --> 00:49:17,121
Sometimes they're
punching people.
1445
00:49:17,221 --> 00:49:20,424
People are a lot better
than they'll have you think.
1446
00:49:20,591 --> 00:49:21,859
We're all human beings.
1447
00:49:21,959 --> 00:49:23,160
We're all trying
to get somewhere.
1448
00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:29,666
And at the end of the day,
we all just trying to smash.
1449
00:49:29,767 --> 00:49:36,240
[cheering, applause]
1450
00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:40,377
And really, I think
the most important
1451
00:49:40,477 --> 00:49:44,248
lesson my time at this show
has taught me is gratitude.
1452
00:49:44,348 --> 00:49:46,550
It's taught me to be grateful.
1453
00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:51,422
Grateful for
everything that I have,
1454
00:49:51,522 --> 00:49:55,859
that I don't even
realize I have.
1455
00:49:55,959 --> 00:49:58,529
Grateful to the wonderful
people who helped me
1456
00:49:58,629 --> 00:50:00,397
make every single
episode of the show.
1457
00:50:00,497 --> 00:50:03,367
I always tell the people I work
with, I go, you know, I wish
1458
00:50:03,467 --> 00:50:05,636
you could be with
me all the time
1459
00:50:05,736 --> 00:50:07,571
when I meet people who
enjoy the show, and they go,
1460
00:50:07,671 --> 00:50:08,672
great show.
1461
00:50:08,772 --> 00:50:09,807
And I'm like, yeah,
but I wish they could
1462
00:50:09,907 --> 00:50:12,676
see that as well, they
could experience that,
1463
00:50:12,776 --> 00:50:16,113
and they could also get
the death threats, too.
1464
00:50:16,213 --> 00:50:18,982
We should share these
things, is what I'm saying.
1465
00:50:19,083 --> 00:50:20,350
Yeah.
1466
00:50:20,451 --> 00:50:23,153
Yeah, but thank
you to all of them.
1467
00:50:23,253 --> 00:50:24,221
It's crazy.
1468
00:50:24,321 --> 00:50:26,523
When people ask me,
like, how did this--
1469
00:50:26,623 --> 00:50:27,758
it was a wild journey.
1470
00:50:27,858 --> 00:50:29,960
It was the craziest journey
that I didn't predict,
1471
00:50:30,060 --> 00:50:32,362
I didn't expect.
1472
00:50:32,463 --> 00:50:35,933
I got a call from a man by
the name of Jon Stewart.
1473
00:50:36,033 --> 00:50:37,134
And I'll never
forget this call.
1474
00:50:37,234 --> 00:50:41,238
I was in London, doing
my first tour of the UK.
1475
00:50:41,338 --> 00:50:44,775
It was such an
exciting moment for me.
1476
00:50:44,875 --> 00:50:45,909
I was thrilled.
1477
00:50:46,009 --> 00:50:48,045
I'd wanted to travel and
do comedy for so long.
1478
00:50:48,145 --> 00:50:51,515
And my phone rang, and I didn't
know what the number was,
1479
00:50:51,615 --> 00:50:52,716
and I answered.
1480
00:50:52,816 --> 00:50:54,284
And the voice on the other
end said, hey, Trevor,
1481
00:50:54,385 --> 00:50:55,285
how are you?
1482
00:50:55,386 --> 00:50:56,887
My name is Jon Stewart.
1483
00:50:56,987 --> 00:51:00,257
I host a comedy show in
America called The Daily Show.
1484
00:51:00,357 --> 00:51:03,093
And I was like, oh, wow, yeah,
I know what The Daily Show is.
1485
00:51:03,193 --> 00:51:04,528
And he was like, as
you should, young man.
1486
00:51:04,628 --> 00:51:06,630
As you should.
1487
00:51:06,697 --> 00:51:07,798
He was very funny.
1488
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:09,133
He would always,
like, go in and out
1489
00:51:09,233 --> 00:51:11,735
of-- it's like taking
himself seriously,
1490
00:51:11,835 --> 00:51:12,736
and then not at all.
1491
00:51:12,836 --> 00:51:14,104
And we had this
great conversation,
1492
00:51:14,204 --> 00:51:15,239
where he invited me.
1493
00:51:15,339 --> 00:51:16,974
He said, I've seen your
comedy online, you know.
1494
00:51:17,074 --> 00:51:19,143
And I think it was the
executive producers
1495
00:51:19,243 --> 00:51:21,745
who basically brought me to
Jon's attention, you know?
1496
00:51:21,845 --> 00:51:24,014
[inaudible] Steve Bodo
helped me make the show.
1497
00:51:24,114 --> 00:51:24,982
And--
1498
00:51:25,082 --> 00:51:26,083
[cheering, applause]
1499
00:51:26,183 --> 00:51:30,054
They said, Jon, you've
got to see this kid.
1500
00:51:30,154 --> 00:51:32,523
You've got to do
something with him.
1501
00:51:32,656 --> 00:51:35,492
And John liked me, and he
said, yeah, let's do something.
1502
00:51:35,659 --> 00:51:38,128
You know, I see you in me.
1503
00:51:38,228 --> 00:51:39,663
I was like, huh.
1504
00:51:39,730 --> 00:51:40,964
That's an interesting one.
1505
00:51:41,065 --> 00:51:43,967
He's like, yeah.
1506
00:51:44,068 --> 00:51:45,436
He's like, yeah.
1507
00:51:45,602 --> 00:51:46,737
I've always felt
like I'm Jersey.
1508
00:51:46,837 --> 00:51:47,738
I get it.
1509
00:51:47,838 --> 00:51:48,972
I get it.
1510
00:51:49,073 --> 00:51:50,707
You know, but it's been wild.
1511
00:51:50,808 --> 00:51:52,943
And then, I called
my two best friends,
1512
00:51:53,043 --> 00:51:54,611
my two best creative
friends who I've been
1513
00:51:54,678 --> 00:51:55,612
working with for a long time--
1514
00:51:55,679 --> 00:51:57,081
David Meyer and David Kibuuka.
1515
00:51:57,181 --> 00:51:58,949
And I said-- one
of them from North
1516
00:51:59,049 --> 00:52:04,121
Carolina, cowboy and
guru at the same time,
1517
00:52:04,221 --> 00:52:05,522
fantastic filmmaker.
I called him.
1518
00:52:05,622 --> 00:52:06,790
I said, Dave, we've
got to do this.
1519
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,459
And then, my friend, David
Kibuuka, from South Africa
1520
00:52:08,625 --> 00:52:10,461
was like, you want
to go to America?
1521
00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:13,363
And he was like, for how long?
1522
00:52:13,464 --> 00:52:14,998
I was like, for as long
as they'll allow us, man.
1523
00:52:15,099 --> 00:52:17,000
I need you, and we can
do this thing together.
1524
00:52:17,101 --> 00:52:18,402
And he's like, well,
all right, all right.
1525
00:52:18,502 --> 00:52:20,104
Let's see what happens.
1526
00:52:20,204 --> 00:52:21,238
And yeah.
1527
00:52:21,338 --> 00:52:23,173
And we've been seeing
what happens ever since.
1528
00:52:23,273 --> 00:52:25,375
And so I say thank you
to all of those people.
1529
00:52:25,476 --> 00:52:26,643
There's so many thank-yous.
1530
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:29,179
Like I said, my first bosses
are sitting right here--
1531
00:52:29,279 --> 00:52:31,849
the people who gave me the job,
sitting right here, you know.
1532
00:52:31,949 --> 00:52:32,850
Michelle [inaudible].
1533
00:52:32,950 --> 00:52:35,452
[cheering, applause]
1534
00:52:35,552 --> 00:52:36,453
Some who aren't here--
1535
00:52:36,553 --> 00:52:39,523
Sarah and Kent.
1536
00:52:39,656 --> 00:52:41,492
The ride we went
through together--
1537
00:52:41,658 --> 00:52:43,961
that was ridiculous.
1538
00:52:44,061 --> 00:52:46,163
People ask them if
they were crazy.
1539
00:52:46,263 --> 00:52:47,431
They were like, are you crazy?
1540
00:52:47,598 --> 00:52:50,134
Who the hell is--
what are you doing?
1541
00:52:50,234 --> 00:52:52,669
Why would you
give him this job?
1542
00:52:52,770 --> 00:52:54,238
You know, and I even
asked them, like, why
1543
00:52:54,338 --> 00:52:56,373
would you give me this job?
1544
00:52:56,473 --> 00:52:58,242
And they're like, we
see something in you,
1545
00:52:58,342 --> 00:52:59,676
and we'll ride with you.
And you did.
1546
00:52:59,777 --> 00:53:01,345
I want to thank you
over and over again.
1547
00:53:01,445 --> 00:53:03,514
You rode with me when
nobody else would.
1548
00:53:03,614 --> 00:53:06,717
You could have fired me when
people were [inaudible] me.
1549
00:53:06,817 --> 00:53:09,787
You could have not seen it,
when I didn't even see it.
1550
00:53:09,887 --> 00:53:13,257
But yeah, we've
kept up ever since.
1551
00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:15,025
All the people--
1552
00:53:15,125 --> 00:53:18,295
I've been truly grateful, all
the way through to my new team
1553
00:53:18,395 --> 00:53:20,631
of bosses, led by Chris
McCarthy and the team,
1554
00:53:20,664 --> 00:53:26,070
[inaudible] and Nina
and everyone else.
1555
00:53:26,170 --> 00:53:28,439
Well, they were like--
1556
00:53:28,539 --> 00:53:30,340
they were the first
ones to say, hey,
1557
00:53:30,441 --> 00:53:31,809
The Daily Show is your
world, but it doesn't
1558
00:53:31,909 --> 00:53:32,810
have to be your only world.
1559
00:53:32,910 --> 00:53:34,111
Let's make projects together.
1560
00:53:34,211 --> 00:53:35,512
Let's produce other content.
1561
00:53:35,646 --> 00:53:37,081
Let's create for
the correspondents.
1562
00:53:37,181 --> 00:53:39,483
Let's get Jordan
doing specials.
1563
00:53:39,650 --> 00:53:40,851
Let's get Desi doing specials.
1564
00:53:40,951 --> 00:53:42,786
And now, the people
are Emmy-nominated.
1565
00:53:42,886 --> 00:53:44,154
I'm so proud of
that, and I'm so
1566
00:53:44,254 --> 00:53:45,589
grateful to every single one.
1567
00:53:45,689 --> 00:53:49,093
But honestly, most importantly,
I'm grateful to you.
1568
00:53:49,193 --> 00:53:54,965
[cheering, applause]
1569
00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:56,500
Every single one of you.
1570
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,968
I am--
1571
00:53:58,068 --> 00:53:59,903
[cheering, applause]
1572
00:54:00,003 --> 00:54:02,372
I'm so grateful.
1573
00:54:02,473 --> 00:54:06,777
[cheering, applause]
1574
00:54:06,877 --> 00:54:09,813
I remember-- I remember
when we started the show,
1575
00:54:09,913 --> 00:54:13,684
we couldn't get enough
people to fill an audience.
1576
00:54:13,784 --> 00:54:15,853
And I always think it's good.
1577
00:54:15,953 --> 00:54:17,121
That's how comedy
is, funny enough.
1578
00:54:17,221 --> 00:54:18,889
I remember all my shows,
people didn't-- there
1579
00:54:18,989 --> 00:54:19,890
weren't tickets--
1580
00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:23,193
everyone-- empty seats.
1581
00:54:23,293 --> 00:54:24,461
And then, I look at this now.
1582
00:54:24,628 --> 00:54:26,063
I don't take it
for granted, ever.
1583
00:54:26,163 --> 00:54:28,799
Every seat that has ever been
filled, to watch something
1584
00:54:28,899 --> 00:54:30,200
that I'm doing, I
always appreciate,
1585
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:32,269
because I know the empty
seats that sit behind it.
1586
00:54:32,369 --> 00:54:33,270
So thank you.
1587
00:54:33,370 --> 00:54:35,305
Thank you to the
people who watch,
1588
00:54:35,406 --> 00:54:39,643
the people who share the
clips, everyone who's
1589
00:54:39,743 --> 00:54:43,414
had an opinion, everyone
who's been kind enough
1590
00:54:43,514 --> 00:54:45,582
and gracious enough to--
1591
00:54:45,682 --> 00:54:46,750
even if it's a critique.
1592
00:54:46,850 --> 00:54:47,785
Doesn't even have to be praise.
1593
00:54:47,885 --> 00:54:48,919
But some people watching--
1594
00:54:49,019 --> 00:54:50,721
I don't like it when you
do this, but I watch.
1595
00:54:50,821 --> 00:54:52,790
I want to say I
appreciate those people.
1596
00:54:52,890 --> 00:54:54,024
Even the people
who hate watched.
1597
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:55,025
We still got the ratings.
1598
00:54:55,125 --> 00:54:57,294
Thank you.
1599
00:54:57,394 --> 00:55:00,197
I'm eternally grateful to you.
1600
00:55:00,297 --> 00:55:04,034
And this is random for some,
but special shout-out to
1601
00:55:04,134 --> 00:55:06,470
Black women.
1602
00:55:06,603 --> 00:55:13,610
[cheering, applause]
1603
00:55:16,346 --> 00:55:19,183
I've often been credited with
having these grand ideas.
1604
00:55:19,283 --> 00:55:20,684
People are like, oh,
Trevor, you're so smart,
1605
00:55:20,784 --> 00:55:23,654
and you're so-- and I'm like,
who do you think teaches me?
1606
00:55:23,754 --> 00:55:25,022
You know?
1607
00:55:25,122 --> 00:55:28,358
Who do you think has shaped me,
nourished me, and formed me?
1608
00:55:28,459 --> 00:55:31,061
From my mom, my
gran, my aunts, all
1609
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:33,897
these Black women in my life--
but then, in America as well.
1610
00:55:33,997 --> 00:55:35,833
I always tell
people, if you truly
1611
00:55:35,933 --> 00:55:41,171
want to learn about America,
talk to Black women.
1612
00:55:41,271 --> 00:55:42,172
Yeah.
1613
00:55:42,272 --> 00:55:49,046
Because unlike
everybody else, Black
1614
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:55,085
women cannot afford to
[bleep] around and find out.
1615
00:55:55,185 --> 00:56:01,125
Black people understand how
hard it is when things go bad,
1616
00:56:01,225 --> 00:56:02,726
especially in
America, but any place
1617
00:56:02,826 --> 00:56:04,595
where Black people exist,
whether it's Brazil,
1618
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:06,430
whether it's South
Africa, wherever it is.
1619
00:56:06,597 --> 00:56:08,499
When things go bad,
Black people know
1620
00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:10,167
that it gets worse for them.
1621
00:56:10,267 --> 00:56:13,003
But Black women in particular--
1622
00:56:13,103 --> 00:56:17,241
they know what
shit is, genuinely.
1623
00:56:17,341 --> 00:56:18,342
People would always be shocked.
1624
00:56:18,442 --> 00:56:19,877
They'd be like, why do
Black women turn out
1625
00:56:19,977 --> 00:56:21,645
the way they do in America?
Why do they vote the way--
1626
00:56:21,745 --> 00:56:23,747
yeah, because they know
what happens if things
1627
00:56:23,847 --> 00:56:25,315
do not go the way it should.
1628
00:56:25,416 --> 00:56:27,451
They cannot afford to
[bleep] around and find out.
1629
00:56:27,618 --> 00:56:29,720
And to Black women who have
taught me, all of them--
1630
00:56:29,820 --> 00:56:33,090
I mean, the scholars
online, the authors,
1631
00:56:33,190 --> 00:56:36,126
everybody, the Roxane Gays,
the Tressie McMillan Cottoms.
1632
00:56:36,226 --> 00:56:37,961
I'll remember the names.
1633
00:56:38,062 --> 00:56:41,832
The Zoe Samudzis-- the
brilliant, brilliant women,
1634
00:56:41,932 --> 00:56:44,368
who've taken the time to
inform me, to educate me,
1635
00:56:44,468 --> 00:56:46,136
to argue with me.
1636
00:56:46,236 --> 00:56:49,573
The Tarana Burkes
who laughed with me,
1637
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,875
talking about everything
from sexual assaults
1638
00:56:51,975 --> 00:56:54,478
to just what life is like.
1639
00:56:54,578 --> 00:56:55,479
I'll tell you now.
1640
00:56:55,579 --> 00:56:56,580
Do yourself a favor.
1641
00:56:56,613 --> 00:56:59,216
If you truly want
to know what to do
1642
00:56:59,316 --> 00:57:02,453
or how to do it, or maybe the
best way or the most equitable
1643
00:57:02,586 --> 00:57:05,422
way, talk to Black women.
1644
00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:07,858
They are-- they're a lot of
the reason that I'm here.
1645
00:57:07,958 --> 00:57:10,327
And so I'm grateful to them.
1646
00:57:10,427 --> 00:57:11,662
I'm grateful to every
single one of you.
1647
00:57:11,762 --> 00:57:12,663
This has been an honor.
1648
00:57:12,763 --> 00:57:14,598
Thank you.
1649
00:57:14,698 --> 00:57:15,799
We'll be right back after this.
1650
00:57:15,899 --> 00:57:20,137
[cheering, applause]
1651
00:57:35,918 --> 00:57:38,821
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
1652
00:57:38,921 --> 00:57:40,523
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
1653
00:57:40,623 --> 00:57:41,991
Every single night
that you do, thank
1654
00:57:42,091 --> 00:57:43,192
you for coming out in person.
1655
00:57:43,292 --> 00:57:44,927
I'm going to step out to
go and buy some cigarettes,
1656
00:57:45,027 --> 00:57:46,962
but I'll be right
back, right soon.
1657
00:57:47,062 --> 00:57:50,499
Now, here it is, your
final moment of zen.
1658
00:57:50,599 --> 00:57:52,468
[applause]
1659
00:57:52,568 --> 00:57:54,470
Thank you.
