>> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: hey! ( cheers and applause ) welcome to "the daily show," everybody! thank you so much for tuning in! thank you for coming out! oh, yeah! let's do it, people! let's do it, let's do it, let's do it! i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight, i could not be more excited, is an oscar-winning actor back with season 2 of her h.b.o. hit show "big little lies," reese witherspoon is joining us, everybody!

( cheers and applause ) going to have a great time. also on the show, president trump steps into the sumo ring, el chapo wants to speak to the manager, and china is watching us. so let's catch up on today's headlines. let's begin with the big news from great britain. for three years, prime minister theresa may has been trying to make brexit work, but now the only thing brexiting is her. >> tonight, high political drama in london after months of intense pressure and speculation, british prime minister theresa may finally giving up the job she'd always wanted, throwing in the towel. >> i will shortly leave the job that has been the honor of my life to hold. i do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. ( audience reacts ) >> trevor: oh!

that's really sad. but, yes, theresa may resigned as prime minister of great britain. she says she's leaving as prime minister and then goes back into the prime minister's house. i thought you were leaving. shouldn't you go the other way? wouldn't that be funny if the door was locked and she couldn't get back in? she would be, like, the country that i love -- hello? hello? barry, open up! barry, it's the prime minister! actually, ma'am, you resigned. we changed the locks while you were crying outside. i will also never get used to the fact that the prime minister's house in the u.k. opens to the street. this is their white house but it's like you could slip a chinese menu under the door. can you imagine running your government, we must mobilize our

forces to -- shhh-shhh! kids at the door selling candy, act like you're not here. ( laughter ) are you sick of traffic you want to get away? away has traffic too. >> overcrowding at the top of mt. everest. >> a human traffic jam. >> overcrowding in the death zone can be especially dangerous because oxygen is scarce. >> we saw a climber that had taken a fall, that obviously hit their head, lost their life, and that climber was fixed to the safety lines, and every single person that had to climb that night had to step over, you know, that person's lifeless body. >> trevor: okay, i feel bad for anyone that has died, but i do have a question -- why are we still climbing mt. everest? this is a very serious question i have. it's extremely dangerous.

ask all the dead bodies up there. they don't randomly show up. if the person died on a safety line, it's not a safe line. all of this shit is crazy! then he's, like, we had to step over -- no, you don't have to step over the body! you don't have to. that is a choice you are making, my man. anytime i see a dead body, i go back the way i came. ( applause ) i say, thank you for the warning, dead body, i'm out! ( applause ) like i genuinely don't get the point. people are just littering on mt. everest. even if you get to the top, it's already done. look how many people are there. we're six months away from them opening a bubba gump's up there. ( laughter ) the permit to climb mt. everest is $11,000. o people are paying $11,000 to maybe die. you give me $11,000 and i'll maybe kill you, yeah.

no snow, know travel, i'll just show up to your house with some gas station sushi and we'll take a chance. we'll go from there. ( laughter ) this is a wild story. finally, crazy news, el chapo, the infamous drug kingpin and world's most dangerous marshmallow is currently serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison, but people aren't sure he's locked up for good. >> el chapo managed extraordinary escapes from two prisons in mexico and authorities worry he's looking to do the same here. >> prosecutors are fighting a request by joaquin el chapo guzman. the 61-year-old wants two hours of outdoor exercise a week, earplugs and bottled water. people say the outdoor exercise is risky because the only outdoor space at that manhattan prison is on the roof. >> trevor: ah, el chapo. i love how everyone assumes

everything he does is always a man to escape. every time he asks something we reverse macgyver it in our head. can i have earplugs and bottled water? the guard is like, yeah, you can knock me out with the bottle, put the earplugs in the water, they expand and you cushion your fall when you jump off the roof. not falling for that. goddam it! he took my keys! one of the funniest things in the story is el chapo is asking to go outside to work out because his cell is noisy and too small and he doesn't get enough fresh air. el chap o that's not prison, that's just living in new york, my friend. yeah, that's all it is. wait till you see how much your rent goes up next month. instead of us stressing about el chapo escaping from a new york prison, let's send him to britain. he's so good at escaping, maybe we can get him to help with brexit. if anyone can figure out how to

get out to have the european union, it will be heim. or in six weeks he will be standing at the podium going, i tried my hardest, i must resign, i can't do this anymore, goodbye! barry! top the door! goddam it, barry! that's it for the headlines! let's move on to the top story! ( cheers and applause ) our main story takes place in japan. since ancient times, this proud nation has endured many bizarre reaches coming in and wreaking havoc all over their country and, over the weekend, it happened again, when president trump landed in tokyo to meet with japan's prime minister. now, president trump wasn't just in japan to check out their impressive tentacle porn, no, he was there about trade, north korea and military cooperation. because of that the japanese bent over backwards to make trump feel at home. >> prime minister abe used the

state visit to continue his charm offensive with president trump. it seems to be working. the president delayed tariffs he planned to impose on japan and seems optimistic the two sides can work out a trade agreement. they played a round of golf, complete with a selfie followed by a lunch of double cheeseburgers. >> we have the best relationship we've ever had with japan and going to keep it that way. >> trevor: golf and cheeseburgers, the classic japanese cultural experience! ( laughter ) it almost sounds like trump's mom sent a note to the japanese telling them exactly what he needs as a sleepover because they had it all prepared. thanks for letting my donny stay over -- remember, he only eats cheeseburgers and he's allergic to peanuts and tax returns, and sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night to tweet. just ignore it and he'll go back to bed, okay? have fun, donny!

that whole helicopter parenting thing is very american. something i discovered. that shit doesn't happen in africa when parents send their kids to another house. in africa, it's, like, if he doesn't eat his dinner, beat him. actually, beat him anyway, i forgot to do it earlier. ( laughter ) japan was actually successful in getting president trump to delay his tariffs and they agreed on new terms. when it came to present ago unified front against north korea, it looks like a double cheeseburger just wasn't enough. >> president trump says north korea's recent missile tests are not an issue for him. the president disagreed with japan's prime minister at a news conference in tokyo overnight. >> the president dismissed north korea's test earlier this month of short-range missiles, some of which could be capable of hitting japan. >> it doesn't matter. all i know is that there have been no nuclear tests, there have been no ballistic missiles going out. >> he directly contradicted his own national security advisor john bolton and japanese prime

minister shinzo abe who say kim jong un's tests violate united nations scownls security council resolutions. >> i view it differently. i view it as a man perhaps he wants to get attention and perhaps not. who knows? >> trevor: and perhaps not, who knows? ( laughter ) i feel so bad for japan. president trump basically just said because north korea's missiles can't reach the u.s., that's japan's problem, not his. yeah, can you imagine the poor translator who had to pass the message along? he was probably like, uh, president trump says he does not give a shit! ( laughter ) and to add fuel to the fire, not only was trump not standing up against kim jong un, no, he took it to the next level. he teamed up with the pillsbury dictator to fight the real enemy, the democrats. >> president trump's also siding with kim jong un over his recent comments attacking political rival former vice president joe biden. the korean leader referring to him as a low i.q. individual.

>> does it give you pause at all to be appearing to side with a brutal dictator instead of with a fellow american, the former vice president joe biden? >> well, kim jong un made a statement that joe biden is a low i.q. individual, he probably is, based on his record. i think i agree with him on that. >> trevor: holy shit! ( audience reacts ) like, i know we've gotten used to trump being friendly with dictators, but you have to admit, this is on a whole different level, all right? taking sides with kim jong un against joe biden? and i don't like to do the whole can you imagine if obama did this thing, but can you imagine if obama did this? like, imagine if obama took sides with a foreign leader against an american! imagine if he took sides with the atol ayatollah of iran agait mitt romney -- the ayatollah

says mitt romney's so white mayonnaise spreads him on bread. am i right? say yes, we can agree on that. that was funny. ( laughter ) so he did that. he also basically rsvp'd to the north korea's roast of the former u.s. vp. but they didn't let any of this faze them. they invited president trump to be a guest of honor at a major sumo wrestling competition. >> this weekend abe took the president to see a wrestling match, something donald trump called fascinating. >> donald trump is up close, a special position is prepared far enough away so that wrestlers won't fall on him. ( laughter ) >> trevor: so that wrestlers won't fall on him? you have to admit, that's a smart decision. can you imagine if an american president was killed because a someo wrestler fell on him?

it would be too humiliating. you have j.f.k., and then this? how would the news even announce what happened? some horrible news at this hour... the president of the united states has been smooshed. ( laughter ) ( applause ) like, let's be honest, if that happened, america would have to close up shop, you can't be a superpower anymore if your president was assassinated by a butt cheek. it's over! ( laughter ) it's done! it's finished! ( cheers and applause ) so, luckily, the president sat far out of squishing range. and once the danger was over, he was allowed to enter the ring for a really special moment. >> the president presented a nearly 70-pound president's cup trophy to the winner. ( cheers and applause ) >> i hash award you the united states president's cup.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: wow! that's really generous of president trump to give away the cup he drinks diet coke out of. what a gesture! that's nice! ( laughter ) i don't know if you noticed but just as trump was walking out of the ring, he gives one final look back. just like for a moment he thought about taking on that sumo wrestler. did you see his eyes? if i beat him, i become the ruler of japan. circumstances that's not how -- >> -- the ruler of japan! ( laughter ) i think it's cool trump participated and we should give him a little credit for attending the event because you know mike pence would never be caught dead in the room. think about it, two naked guys in thongs rubbing their body together?

presence would be giving them a bible trying to convert them out of sumo. jesus wants you to take up bowling, okay? just move on. just put your fingers in the hole -- oh, no! ( laughter ) so that's basically president trump's trip to japan. and everyone came out a winner. that's good news. trump had a blast, managed not to break his old cheeseburger diet. japan strengthened ties with an important ally. the only loser in this whole thing is everyone at the white house because, apparently, trump brought back a little souvenir. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) anyone can stick a lime in a beer. at sam adams, we brew with lime, plus lemon, orange zest, summer wheat, and grains of paradise, for a new lighter and brighter summer ale. sorry, lime wedge. we've got this.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back! you know, when i starred hosting the "the daily show," my dream was to learn how to read. ( laughter ) no, my dream was to reach people all around the world. you know, i wanted this show to have a reach-around, which is the phrase i invented but did not google. ( laughter ) well, on monday, my dream came true in a big way, when china's state tv network broadcast a portion of a segment that we did about the chinese telecom company wha huawei. ( speaking in foreign language ) >> trevor: china, baby!

( cheers and applause ) what? china! ha! biggest demographic in the world and "the daily show" just broke through! even better, 1.3 billion people just heard the state news say i was famous. you like that? famous! ( cheers and applause ) and, i mean, obviously, that's true, i am famous. i mean, here's a picture of me with beyonce, yeah? if you zoom in, like, i'm in the row -- you will see -- i'm famous, that's all i'm saying. but this is a really cool thing. for more on this amazings achievement we're joined to celebrate with "the daily show"'s own roy wood, jr., everybody! ( cheers and applause ) hi, roy! oh, man! isn't this amazing, dude, our segment played all over china. did you see that? >> i tell you what i saw! i saw you use this platform to spread chinese propaganda!

is trevor even your real name or should i call you by your spy name african panda. ( laughter ) >> trevor: you can't decide to air one segment china decided to broadcast and claim i'm working for a foreign power. >> you may fool these sheep in here but i've done my research and i found you have been using "the daily show" to spread propaganda around the world. you teamed up with north korea state television. >> trevor: if you ask me, i'm excited for this korean invasion. >> the jig sup, panda! you're a spy! >> trevor:, no, no, come on! >> a spy! >> trevor: come on! none of that. none of that!

>> oh, so you're denying having cute dimples? >> trevor: okay, that part is true, but the line was taken out of context. when i said korean invasion i was talking about the korean boy band b.t.s. i'm happy their music sin vading america, i'm not a spy. >> but you pledge allegiance to the russians! >> trevor: i pledge my life to mother russia and the glorious communist revolution! ( laughter ) >> care to explain? >> trevor: okay, that last one was real. i was going through a faze. i fell in love with a russian bot on twitter and things got out of happened. >> i knew it. >> trevor: i'm not a spy, it's just -- >> hello, 911? yeah, i would like to report a traitor. you want me to call the f.b.i.? i'm not calling the f.b.i., i got parking tickets.

just send over jason bourne. you've got a five-minute head start -- because you're my friend. >> trevor: i'm not going to -- roy wood, jr., everybody! glj we'll be right back! >> i knew it! i knew it! >> trevor: i'm not a spy! i'm not a spy! >> spy! spy! ( cheers and applause ) 911! come get him! come get him! yothree smart devices walk into a bar. a bar is a counter where beer is served. beer. michelob ultra is a beer free of artificial colors or flavors. favors are friendly gestures like ordering a beer. i will have one. no, your operating system is not old enough. ha. ha. ha. ha. there's enough artificial in the world. michelob ultra. no artificial colors or flavors. superior light beer. that is a good one.

i'm on the pill. i'm on the pill. i'm on the pill, too. but it's not birth control. it's truvada for prep®,

a once-daily prescription medicine for adults that, when taken every day along with using safer sex practices, can help lower my chances of getting hiv through sex. i use condoms. but i talked to my doctor about doing more. he said that because i had a higher chance of getting hiv through sex, truvada for prep could be an option for me. she also told me that truvada alone may not keep me from getting hiv. and it does not prevent other stis or pregnancy. you must be hiv-negative to take truvada for prep. so you need to get tested for hiv immediately before, and at least every 3 months, while taking truvada. if you think you were exposed to hiv or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. they may do more tests to confirm you are still hiv negative. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems, kidney failure, and bone problems, which may lead to fractures. rare, life-threatening side effects include a build-up of lactic acid and liver problems. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney, bone, or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking truvada without talking to your doctor.

common side effects include stomach pain, headache, and weight loss. ask your doctor about your risk of getting hiv and if truvada for prep may be right for you. i wanted to do more. that's why i'm on that pill. truvada for prep. eligible patients may pay as little as a zero dollar co-pay. find out more at truvada.com. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is an academy

award winning actor who stars in and produces the critically acclaimed h.b.o. series "big little lies." >> how have you been? >> good, good. the kids are good. how are you? >> i can't complain. actually, i can. my son is dead. >> celeste tells me you continue to be so helpful with her and the boys and -- >> she should just get a proper housekeeper, you're very short. >> excuse me? >> i don't mean it in a negative way. >> oh. >> maybe i do. i find little people to be untrustworthy. >> trevor: please welcome reese witherspoon! ( cheers and applause ) ♪

>> trevor: welcome to the show. >> thank you for having me. i've never been however before. >> trevor: yeah, it's great to have you. ( cheers and applause ) we're all big fans of what you do. >> well, i'm a big fan of you. your show is fantastic. >> trevor: thank you very much. >> sitting back there laughing. >> that's what i would hope. >> it works! >> trevor: congratulations on season 2. >> thank you. >> trevor: this show started off in a way very few people predicted. everyone assumed because of the cost it would be successful, but a story about domestic abuse and community where lies are being told doesn't seem it's going to be as viral as it's become. what do you think the show owes its success to? >> i think it's a peek behind the curtain about how women feel. a lot of us, when we were doing season one, we would marvel at the fact we had lines and scenes with each other, when so much of our early careers would have been we were the only woman on set. so it's this real exploration into the private lives of women, like really dealing with serious issues, whether sexual assault

or domestic violence, infidelity, we kind of tackled it all from a woman's perspective. >> trevor: seems like an everyday world where extraordinary things are happening and you have all these women interacting with each other. but what's crazy -- i don't want to spoil what happens at the end of season one, but there is a death. we don't know who's been killed or who's been killed or why they've been killed by whom, but the second season, as we've seen in the clip -- you have meryl streep comic in for season 2. >> yes. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: does that just take everything to another level? because you've already got a stellar cast everyone loves and add meryl streep. that feels like team stacking, that's unfair. >> nicole and i were shocked when she wrote us an email and said, i'd like to be on your show because i think it needs a boost. ( laughter )

>> trevor: she creates a new dank where it's women together then women fighting amongst themselves. it changes the dynamic in the show. >> it does. what's fascinating too is because we have multiple generations in the show and it kind of talks about different waves of feminism. >> trevor: exactly. >> and how different women feel about the response to a loved one being accused of a crime or whether or not her -- someone she's related to is, um, guilty of a crime. >> trevor: yes. >> so, and also what is a mother's love. so it's this fascinating exploration of every side of it -- do you defend him? do you defend his honor even after his death? >> trevor: mm-hmm. >> and, i mean, she was just amazing. and she had so many great ideas, too. the fascinating thing is not only did you get to work with her but you get to go and have dinner with her and she tells you all her amazing ideas. it's incredible. it's like a master class. it's i'm really grateful.

>> trevor: it feels like this is very much what you are all about right now. you have a production company that's been really successful, and i mean because it's not just this show, you also have "big little lies," you also have "gone girl" that your production company produced and it feels like the storytelling you have is really in touch with stories about women but not stories for women. stories for everyone which people for some reason didn't realize you could make. has that been your mandate for the company? >> yeah, i think, you know, a few years ago, i just decided i was sick and tired of reading terrible parts for women and, if it wasn't good enough for me or my friends, it wasn't good enough for my daughter to be watching how women were represented in the world, so i decided to do it myself and started buying books and turning them into tv shows, and i just finished one with jennifer aniston which is really great with apple, and the next one i start next week is with carrie washington based on a book called little fires everywhere. >> trevor: you read five books

a month. >> i read a lot of books. >> trevor: and you just go i'm going to turn these into movies. >> not all of them. >> trevor: the ones you love. >> yeah, the once i love. >> trevor: you create something from it. >> yeah, thursday there's a better spectrum than the things we're seeing on film and television and the emergence of streaming has made that an opportunity to broaden is storytelling for women and every person who feels like they haven't seen themselves represented in film, it's a great time to be a creator. >> trevor: i'm excited for everything you're doing on screen, off screen, thank you so much for joining us on the show. wonderful having you. the highly anticipated second sesaon of "big little lies" will premiere on h.b.o. june 9th. reese witherspoon, everybody! we'll be right back!
