[patriotic music] male announcer: from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, "the daily show with trevor noah" presents: - i know americans may feel like their congress is divided and dysfunctional,

buy you ain't seen uganda. - a brawl in uganda's parliament breaks out during a debate about the president's eligibility to run for office again. you can see them, they've got-- i don't know what their weapons are, mike, but they're using whatever they can get their hands on. - yes. - the country's constitution has an age limit of 75 for president. well, the 73-year-old president, yoweri museveni, has ruled uganda since taking the position by force in 1986. so that argument over changing the law to allow him to run again after the age of 75. - the first rule of ugandan parliament is you don't talk about ugandan parliament. and real quick, what does that reporter mean? "i don't know what those weapons are." what do you mean? it's a mic stand, okay? we have mic stands in africa. the reporter is saying it like, "the ugandans are fighting with some kind of giraffe stick. i don't know what that is." it's a mic stand, okay? now honestly, we could go into the reasons

they were fighting, but the truth is you don't really care, and there is so much fun insanity happening in every frame of that video. we have to look closer at it. like one guy jumps onto the table and then he does a spin. what's that? who does a spin in the middle of a fight? that is insane. he looks like a ugandan michael jackson. like, what was that? oh, and then--and then-- and then watch this part. someone throws a chair, and the security guy catches in midair. like a boss. new york giants, are you watching this? you better sign this man. but my favorite part, my favorite part of all, one representative, he's just standing there the whole time waving the ugandan flag like a matador. you can see, he's like, "when this is a painting, they will definitely include me huh?" you know what--you know what my suggestion is? this is how america should run its congress, right?

if some senator wants to filibuster a bill, you can't just say, "i vote to block." you have to physically block them from getting it to the floor. put some muscle into it. come on, mitch! let's see what you're made of.

[upbeat music] - two lions were recently caught in the act at a national park in kenya, but this wasn't your average instance of mating. that's because both the lions were male. the head of kenya's film censorship board, ezekiel mutua, called for the lions to be isolated. on november 2nd, the told the nairobi news, quote... [laughter] - oh, wow. this kenyan politician thinks that these lions learned this from gay people? like, this is either homophobia on another level or gay people are incredible animal trainers.

i can't even get my dog to sit, and they've got these lions sixty-nining, really? or maybe-- or maybe he's just jealous, 'cause i know i'm jealous. i mean, look at that guy, huh? look at that guy. you ever been so satisfied you lost control of your tongue? just like, uhh, uhh. uhh, uhh! hakuna matata. - prince harry and meghan markle selecting st. george's chapel for their upcoming ceremony, set to take place in may. the engagement ring, two diamonds from jewelry belonging to harry's mom diana and a center stone from the african country botswana, where the couple spent their third date. - wait, hold up. their third date was to botswana? i mean, normally on a third date you might go to red lobster, but for a royal you go to an entire african country? wow. for more perspective on this royal engagement, we turn now to our actual british person,

gina yashere, everybody. [cheers and applause] gina, this royal wedding has people around the world excited. so in britain, it must be pretty big. - oh, it's huge, trevor. we haven't been this excited since piers morgan left for america. now, i can see why americans love the royals. they're a world-famous family with tons of drama. like the kennedys but with better security. [audience groans] don't boo me. boo ted cruz's dad. - wait, but, gina, gina, like, this is good news for the royal family, 'cause, like, harry's always been known as a bad boy, right? a bit of a womanizer, drunken fights, partying naked in vegas. like, they must be relieved that he's finally settling down. - [chuckles] settling down. this engagement is one of the most rebellious things a royal has ever done. meghan markle is american, she's divorced, and she's black. this is not the traditional recipe for princess. even in kids' movies, they went green before black.

- look, okay, wait, i understand american and divorced, but black, is that really an issue in britain? - it is for the british press. i know in america people don't really think of meghan as super black. one, because her name is meghan. and two, because you can't pick her out of this lineup of white women. - yeah, i don't know where she is. - i'm not lying. but to the british right-wing press, harry might as well be engaged to wendy williams. "how you doing?" - look, i hear what you're saying, and i've been following the coverage from the uk. i don't know if i've seen that much racism. - exactly, the brits do subtle racism. it's not the n word. it's in code. they say, "meet the in-laws," talking about how meghan's parents are divorced, and she comes from a broken family. you know who else comes from a broken family? prince harry! [laughter]

they call meghan's family unconventional. unconventional, the queen is married to her own cousin. - gina yashere, everybody. we'll be right back.

[upbeat music] - oh, yeah, what's up everybody? i'm roy, that's michael, and this is the 2017 year in review for sports. - and what a year it was, roy. the astros won their first world series ever. - we also had two cocky idiots trying to beat the snot out of each other. - and the new england patriots had an amazing comeback over the atlanta falcons in super bowl li. ouch. - falcons rip. blew a 25-point lead, bro. they blew it so bad they had to write a book called "what happened." - well, but the most important story of course is the nfl players to kneeling to protest the oppression of the black man in america. my man roy here knows what that's all about. no rest for the brothers. am i right, roy? - actually, man, i just kinda want to keep this segment light and fun, so let's just keep moving. - i hear you. yeah, i'm down, dog. - because sports is supposed to be light and fun, and the nfl got a little more fun this year when the league lifted the ban on group touchdown celebrations. - and the players took full advantage. they did the jamaican bobsled team. they did the-- they performed cpr. they even played leap frog.

i mean, where do they come up with this? - i mean, these celebrations were cool but they weren't as good as the ones that you and i used to throw down back in our playing days, bro. - oh, you mean the pepper and the parmesan? let's show 'em pepper and parmesan, here we go. pepper. - here's the salad. - [grunting] - do the parmesan. - [grunting] - eat that salad. [both groan] - pepper and parmesan crushed it. i'll tell you who else crushed it, the golden state warriors. they were absolutely dominant, cruising to an easy nba finals victory over lebron and the cavs. - speaking of the cavs, kyrie irving demanded a trade so he wouldn't have to play with lebron james, and that wasn't even the craziest thing he said this year. - one of the big stories out of all star weekend is the cavs' star kyrie irving believes that the earth is flat. despite years of science, kyrie honestly believes that the earth is not round. - kyrie, baby, how you gonna say the earth is flat when you basically spend 20 hours a day dribbling... both: ...a damn globe. - of course, i'd be remiss if i didn't mention that there was a racial slur that was spray-painted on the home of lebron james. clearly money and fame are not enough to protect the black man in today's america, and that's an "amerikkka" with three ks, right, roy?

- why do you keep bringing up all this heavy race stuff? this is supposed to be a light segment. i just want my sports with no racism. - i'm sorry, you know me. but i'm an ally to the black man. - stop saying "the black man." don't say that. - i minored in african studies. - that ain't got nothing to do with-- - okay, all right, i'll just back off the african-- - look, anyway, let's just move on, because the most incredible performance of this year has to go to serena williams winning the australian open while pregnant. - yeah, try pulling that off, roger federer. - well, he couldn't because technically-- - what more can you say? there's nothing more inspiring to me than a strong, powerful black woman. - oh, man, i told you, you don't have to-- - i'm impressed by black women. michelle, serena, your own mom. - keep my mama's name out of your mouth. - it was a compliment. she raised a great man, roy. - just stop talking about race. i know what's going on. you don't have to keep bringing up race every time. - it's hard because 2017, roy, was a year that race and sport intersected like never before. - no, no, there was one story,

michael phelps raced a shark, and that nothing to do with magical black women, nothing to do with wokeness and nothing to do with race. - oh, oh, okay. i just-- - okay, how does race-- how is this race? - nothing, it's just i have always seen the shark as the black man of the sea. - you saying--you saying me and the shark, we're the same? - look, i'm saying everyone that was involved in this made so much money off of, what, the shark's hard labor. how much money did the shark make? nothing. i mean, to me that sounds a lot like... the shark's working, everyone's making money. but the shark's not getting money. that's s-- - no, no, no, don't say it. - to me, that's slavery. - don't say that-- mm, i'm done. - that's what that is. that's-- - i'm done, man. - roy wood jr. i'm michael kosta. to me the shark is slavery. happy kwanzaa, you guys. have a great year.
