“With three weeks to go until Election Day, and millions of votes already cast, coronavirus remains the top issue for America,” Trevor Noah said on Thursday’s episode of The Daily Show. “And any normal president would be laser-focused on getting corona under control, helping businesses stay afloat, keeping schools open. But Donald Trump is not a normal president.” Instead, Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani are […]

Donald Trump may be feuding with Dr. Anthony Fauci. But at least, as Trevor Noah put it Tuesday night, the president did get “a very real endorsement from another top scientist” this week. The Daily Show host was referring to Eric Trump, who appeared on ABC News’ This Week on Sunday and boasted about the “vaccine” that supposedly saved his father’s life. “It goes to speak […]
On Tuesday night, The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah took a break from clowning on first lady Melania Trump’s hatred of the White House Christmas to address the more serious news wafting from its walls: President Trump’s made-for-TV return to the White House, even though he is still battling the novel coronavirus (and surely contagious). Trump made a big show of his premature return from Walter Reed […]
On Monday night, The Daily Show focused on one rather hilarious story that’s been overshadowed by President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, as well as several U.S. senators and Republican staffers contracting the novel coronavirus, likely during a superspreader event at the White House—this after ignoring social-distancing guidelines, refusing to wear masks, and generally downplaying the severity of the virus for a number of months. “He […]
Trevor Noah is feeling pretty good about Joe Biden’s decision to go with Kamala Harris as his running mate. “Say what you want about Joe, but the man went Black and he is not going back,” the Daily Show host joked. He then explained how “impressed” he was with the former vice president’s choice despite the fact that Harris “destroyed” him at their first debate last […]
It has been 20 weeks since Breonna Taylor was shot and killed in her own home. And the cops who killed her still have not been arrested. “If you’re online a lot, you’ve probably seen Breonna Taylor being turned into just another meme,” Trevor Noah said on Thursday night near the top of the 12-minute segment he dedicated to her story. While the people keeping her […]
The disturbing federal crackdown happening against Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland, Oregon, may seem like an obscure, far-away problem for some Americans right now. But Trevor Noah broke down on Tuesday night why everyone should be worried. “Portland has now seen more than 50 straight days of Black Lives Matter protests,” the Daily Show host said. “But over the last few days, something new has […]
After paying tribute to the late Congressman John Lewis Monday night, Trevor Noah moved on to a “less legendary political figure: Kanye West, hip-hop superstar and Kim Kardashian’s eldest child.” “Kanye has been promoting a new album-slash-presidential campaign,” the Daily Show host said. “And it has not been going great.” (And this was taped well before his late-night tweetstorm.) From there, Noah played a montage of […]
The Daily Show host Trevor Noah checked in on Tuesday with Tucker Carlson, “Fox News primetime star and mom haircut model.” The previous night, Carlson finally addressed the controversy surrounding his show’s top writer, Blake Neff, who was fired by Fox for a history of racist, misogynistic and homophobic online posts. “So Fox News got rid of the guy,” Noah said, “but it appears Tucker Carlson […]
Trevor Noah returned from a two-week July 4th break with a very big guest: Hillary Clinton. The Daily Show host began his remote interview by asking the former Secretary of State what she’s been up to during quarantine. “Because I know if I was in your position, I would spend most of my time tweeting ‘I told you so’ and I would walk around the street […]
In a new interview with The New York Times, Jon Stewart insisted that he does not miss hosting The Daily Show. “If you’re asking, Do you wish you had a show? Sometimes I do,” he said. “But not the one that I had. The one that I had is in wonderful hands and continues to elevate in a way that I couldn’t have.” That statement has […]
Joe Biden’s campaign has made it clear that the former vice president does not support the campaign to “defund the police.” On Wednesday night, The Daily Show host Trevor Noah tried to see if he could get him there. “You know, many activists and organizers have come out saying, there have been repeated attempts to reform many police departments,” Noah said. “Were it not for civilian […]
On Tuesday night, Trevor Noah addressed the Democrats’ kente cloth fiasco as only he could. “While the movement in the streets has been building up steam, Democrats in Washington have been scrambling for a way to respond. And yesterday, I think they’ve figured it out,” offered Noah. The Daily Show host then threw to footage of the Senate Democrats kneeling in the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall for […]
It’s been 10 days since Trevor Noah delivered a sobering 18-minute monologue on the police killing of George Floyd that quickly racked up tens of millions of views across various social platforms and helped change the conversation about the “social contract” between black people and cops. After taking last week off, he was back hosting The Daily Show from home Monday night and the story has […]
After broadcasting from his New York apartment every weeknight for the past two months, Trevor Noah went on hiatus this week. But he couldn’t wait until Monday to share his take on the protests that have followed the police killing of George Floyd. In a long, no-frills, joke-free video, shot vertically, The Daily Show host connected the dots between Amy Cooper, Ahmaud Arbery and now Floyd. […]
Trevor Noah is horrified that President Donald Trump is apparently taking hydroxychloroquine against the recommendation of the FDA. But he seemed equally appalled Tuesday night at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to that news. “I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists,” Pelosi said on CNN this week, “especially in his age group and in his, shall we […]
Comedy Central After a softball interview with Time magazine this week, news outlets breathlessly reported that Jared Kushner told the publication the presidential election may be delayed until after November 3rd provided there’s another outbreak of COVID-19. “Oh. My. God. Jared Kushner might delay the election?!” exclaimed The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah on Wednesday night. “That is not good!” He added, “And honestly, I can’t believe […]
