name, isn't it. that is respect. washington commanders! whooo! put some respect on that name. the commanders got blown out 47-3. that is powerful. i love that. also funny how like the nfl, this whole thing was like a scandal of like racism for the nfl and then this is the end of this scandal and i'm sure the guys in the nfl were like well, we did it, boyses, no more racism scandals for us at the nfl, we got it t no more racism, what, a lawsuit about what? goddam damn it? coming to you from the heart of time square in new york city, the only city in america, it's "the daily show." tonight off with cnn's head. whoopi makes a whoop see and gugu mbatha-raw. this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. >> trevor: hey, what's going on. well could-- welcome to the

daily show, let's jump straight into today's headlines. all right we kick things off with some news coming out of cnn. yes, the channel you watch at the gym while you listen to your podcast. the network has always been famous worldwide for its 24 hour news and people shouting at each other coverage. but over the past few months the spotlight has been turned on them. especially nt wake of andrew cuomo's harassment scandal and then chris cuomo's secret defense of his brother's scandal. well today that scandal took yet another twist. >> we have news now to report involving our network. cnn president jeff zucker has just resigned after disclosing a consensual relationship with a colleague. >> he wrote to staffers a few minutes ago quote as part of the investigation into chris cuomo tenure at cnn, cuomo fired last month, zucker said he i was asked about a consensual relationship with my closee colleague, someone i worked with for more than 20 years. i acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years.

i was required to disclose it when it began but i didn't. i was wrong. as a result, i am resigning today. >> trevor: man, must have been a really weird day for cnn. on the one hand it is bad that your boss is resigning under a cloud of scandal. on the other hand, you have got the scoop. we begin with breaking news. did you know that jeff and allison were banging? i saw them coming the office together one morning and i totally called tment i mean i didn't say anything but i totally called it, what is this? just in, i'm also involved? but that's right, jeff zucker long time head of cnn is stepping down because according to his statement he didn't disclose that he was having a relationship with a colleague. and i don't know if this is the full story but what i do know is that at cnn it seems like there is no middle ground. when there is a scand staal either someone who isn't disclosing enough or someone disclosing way too much. and look, i know the story is going to come as a surprise to a

lot of people. people are going to be like wow, someone has been in charge of cnn this whole time? i thought it was just a bunch of roommates who found camera equipment behind a dumpster. but yes, jeff zucker was running cnn and you may motd know this but he is the one without made cnn what it is today. he is the one who pushed it it toward entertainment more and less news. and he is the one without said enough of those international correspondents. let's just get people fighting on camera. like you remember when cnn would just make us watch trump's empty podium for an hour? that was his choice, yeah. and the reason he liked putting trump on so much is because he liked trump, because he knew that trump was good for ratings because jeff zucker is the one who gave trump the job for the apprentice, and the apprentice is the only reason trump went on to become the president. ahhhh. that's not even the craziest part of the story, the craziest thing is that jeff zucker's down fall all started with andrew cuomo, remember him? yeah, andrew cuomo groped women,

chris cuomo his brother tried to help him, so then cnn looked into chris cuomo, investigated him and then found some s hit on jeff glirk, what? so andrew cuomo was such a creep that he took down thim self, his brother chris and the president of cnn. is he like ronan farrow but by accident. at this point who knows how long cuomo's fallout is going to last, he groped a bunch of people, now everyone is feeling it. he is like a human chern able. -- dhern oibl, 80 years from now brazilians are going to be at war with australian,-- it is all the causea andrew cuomo. let's move on to someone who is losing his job to someone else who is in hot water at work. whoopi goldberg, cohost of the view and the only coach for the knicks winning season. in case you pissed it the five women on the view were having a discussion about mauss you remember the graphic novel about the holocaust? and by the time the discussion was all over, the panel was down

to four. >> this morning more fallout for whoopi goldberg. >> abc news suspending goldberg from the view for two weeks after she made controversial comments about jewish people and the holocaust on monday's episode. >> the holocaust isn't about race. it's not about race. >> what is it about. >> because you-- it's about man's inhumanity to man. >> but it's about white supremacy. >> but these are both white groupses of people. >> goldberg apologizing live on the program tuesday. >> yesterday on hour show i misspoke. i regret my comments, as i said. and i stand corrected. >> the segment also included an interview with anti-defamation league c.e.o. jonathan greenblatt who later commented on goldberg's suspension. >> we shouldn't cancel whoopi because she made a mystic it am i heard whoopi say that she is committed to doing better. i accept that apology. >> abc releasing a statement acknowledging that whoopi has apologized but asking her to take time to tre flect and learn about the impacts of her

comments. >> trevor: yep, whoopi goldberg is in a whole lot of trouble. and i understand why. i understand why people were upset with what she said because the way she said it, it made it sound like the holocaust was just some white people who were fighting some other white people, you know, sort of like game of thrones. but as the spokesman for the anti-defamation league explained to her, hitler did see jews as a separate race. and even worse as a separate species. you snow, like when you think about it properly, protecting the master race, that was the nazi's whole thing. no race-- shall race purity, these tiki torch bitches, hitler was the og of that, in his mind everyone was supposed have blond hair and blue eyes, except for him, he got to look like an angry-- for some wherein, what that is not the point, i understand why people were upset because the holocaust had everything to do with race.

and i'm glad that whoopi apologized because like i don't think that she was trying to hurt anybody here, you know. i think she made a mistake. and i will say, i think it's a little weird that her network's suspended her for sharing her view on the view. i mean if she is remorseful, why send her away. isn't it better to keep her and then use this as a teaching moment? and then could you have everyone watching also learning, oh, i didn't know that about the holocaust. maybe they didn't. rather than sending her away for two weeks, to do what, reflect and do what, her own research. i mean that's never a good idea. these days you tell someone to go research the holocaust on their own, they will come back in two weeks like did you all know that the jews have space lasers? be like oh, dammit, you were on youtube, oh, man. anyway, let's move on to tour next story. today is groundhog day. which leads me to ask, what the

hell is groundhog day. people pull a rodent out of the ground and ask the animal to predict the weather. there is so unfair. because if africans were doing shit like this and you heard that we pulled animals out of the ground, like there are villageses in africa where people wear animal skins and if i tried to explain that americans use groundhogs to predict the weather they would be like but why not just use the satellite data. all right, that is it for the headlines, let's move to our top story which is about russia. the former and maybe future sov yent-- soviet union. over the past few months russia has sent over 100,000 troops to its border with ukraine, which understandably has a lot of people freaked out. ukraine has been preparing for war. american and the-- america and the united nations have been threatening devastating sanctions on russia and today president biden sent thousands of troops to polander and romania, just in case russia decides to add some more

countries to its shopping list. you but the big scwe why? why is russia bringing europe to the brink of war? yesterday we finally heard from russian president and leader who ends every sentence with, or else, a put in. and he says that none of this is his fault. >> russian president vladimir putin first comment on ukraine since december after the meeting in moscow with the leader of hungary. putin claimed the west has ignored russia top demands including blocking ukraine from joining nato. >> in his first public comments on this crisis in weeks president putin accused the u.s. of trying to contain russia. >> ukraine is just a tool, he said. despite more than 100,000 russian troops now massed on ukraine's border, russia still claimed it's a real victim threatened by the u.s. and its nato allies and moscow insists it it has no plans to innovate

ukraine. >> yeah, putin says that russia has no plans to invade ukraine. >> soo i guess those 100,000 troops on the border are just doing that thing where you stand outside a restaurant and read the menu. >> no, no, we're not going in now, maybe we come back for special occasion. >> look, i know it's hard to feel sorry for anybody with a russian accent but i do actually understand why russia is so freaked out by nato. because here is the thing. don't forget that nato was formed to oppose the sov yent-- soviet union, that is why it it was formed. then the sov yent-- sof yet union broke up, but instead of disbanged nato has been expanding closer and closer to russia's border. so from a russian point of view, just a russian point of view, it is almost like they lost the boxing match but the guy who beat them moved in next door. the fight is over, what are you doing here? i don't know, man. you tell me. so there are a lot of complex

issues at play right here which which is why the un held an emergency session this week to try and find a peaceful solution to avert war. and i don't know if you know this but we at the daily show have an exclusive look at what went down in the u.n. which means it is time for another installment of inside the u.n. >> all right, all right, all right, everybody. i hearby call this session of the u.n. in to session. >> one second guys, please, one second. hello, yes. comcast, yes, i would like to stet up new service, please, in ukraine. in one week, we can say, no, no, i don't need sports package. >> you think this is funny. there is nothing funny about invading other countries, okay. you can't do that, it's called consent harvey weinstein. >> hey, come on.

isn't this annoying to remember the names of nothing countries, ukraine, latvia, poland, yada yada who can keep track. if they were all russia, it would be so much simpler for everybody. >> i mean yes, it would. but let's be clear, if you invited ukraine-- invade ukraine there will be scwens consequences, isn't that right, guys. >> yes. >> yeah. >> ya? >> see, a united front. >> well, let us be clear, if you retaliate against russia, we will have no choice but to release this devastating meme. one click and it goes out on facebook. >> don't you dare, russia. >> excuse me, excuse me, everybody. can i just say something. >> you go ahead, south africa. >> are you really going to keep me wearing this, think about t you guys have more omicron than we do now.

>> yep. >> yeah. >> sorry, just a few more weeks. we don't trust that african covid. >> gentlemen, please, we need to focus. the future of ukraine is at stake. >> no, excuse me, the future of russia is at stake. >> what trait do we have, russia is 5,000 mile country. we need room to stretch legs. >> i'm sorry. but you don't get to tell nato who we can and cannot have as a member. if we want to let ukraine in, that's up to us. >> yes, that's right. but we, america, are you go to let-- in who has been asking for awhile. >> look, i don't know, maybe. see the thing is, once we let you in, well, you won't have to beg us any more. we kind of like that. >> so it is like sexual. >> i guess, kind of. >> hey, this is all nonsense.

ukraine is russia's neighbor. how would you like it, america, if we made military alliance with canada? >> hey, canada is our bitch, okay. you stay the hell away. >> actually, eh, canada is its own sovereign independent. >> shut shut up, canada. >> shut up, condition da. >> so sorry. >> we'll talk about this yut burst later. >> as for you russia think real carefully with this next move. >> we would still prefer to solve ukraine issue peacefully, and talking of good will, we have the-- for you, american specialty, apple pie. eat up, so delicious, please, try piece. >> let's see. i never seen an apple pie like this, with all the-- sir rings sticking out of it, mi hungry. >> no, no, america, wait. >> huh?

>> it is nothing, enjoy your pie. >> nothing like a bit of apple pie. >> trevor: hmmmm, now i want some russian pie. all right, when we come back roy wood, jr. is going to put his life savings into breakfast serial-- certificate yell, you don't want to miss it. you can ord [ snoring ] honey, geo's pizza palace just launched cha cha cheesy bread. i'll go wake up the kids.

now here are you, is it a mini series or limitedded series. >> it is a limited series strks four episode. >> trevor: right. are you playing what i think many new yorkers will relate to, somebody who has rented a place from a very creepy person. >> i know, i mean it is such a departure for david o yellow as well. i know you know him, everybody knows him from selma, martin luther king and all the things that he has done. and this character of edward really keeps you guessing. because he is a minimalist architect. he is a perfectionist and you can't quite figure out if he is a good guy, if he is a bad guy and every episode there are so many twists it and turns in the story. but yeah, it's been a wonderful experience. >> trevor: you know what will really shock some people. i was watching the clip with one of my colleagues and she was like oh wow, she does a really great english accent. and then i was thinking i wonder how many people would think that about you and david, where they

go wow, they are doing really fantastic english accents. are there feel who know where you are from at all. >> i know t is so funny, when i first read the script for the girl before i was in the middle of filming loki and i had been doing an american accent for so long. and it is a weird one. i sort of, i take that as a complement, i think, that people see you as an american and believe you so fully that even your own accent feels alien, i mean when i did belle several years ago hi been doing an american accent for about three years, in projects. and i genuinely myself thought do i know how to act in my other than accent any more. it's been so long that i had been doing the american thing. but yeah, it's nice to be able to switch back and forth and as i say, that people believe knee as man american. >> i think believe new any role you play, you received the essence award, the break thru award, that is where you met david, not officially but you

asked him to present the award. >> it is funny because me and david were both born in the same hospital. is he a bit older than me. >> trevor: are you serious. >> he was, shall-- we were both born in oxford at the john ratcliff hospital a few years apart. and so there is that connection. which is sort of surreal and he was one of the first british actors that i met when i went to l.a. and i didn't know anybody. i was doing a tv series there. and i met him and his family and i just was so impressed because i was like here is this man who is an incredibly talented theater actor and film actor but is he also just got such a imrownded real life. >> trevor: definitely. >> as well and i was so impressed with that. when i was nom nailted for-- nominated or won the esence award i asked him to present it to me. and yeah, he took me by surprise because he brought his daughter zoe on to the stage to present it to knee which kind of took my brelt away because she reminded me of this mini version of me.

and it was you know it made me cry trk was so moving but it was also, i mean is he very smart like thark david. because i sort of saw myself in her. and i also, it gave me a moment to really ground my work in a way because i felt like now have i to choose projects that are good enough for zoe, that is the sort of, that idea of legacy and the idea of what she is looking up to trk somebody that looks as much as i see a younger verg of myself, she might see an older version of herself in me. so. >> trevor: i feel like that is alot of pressure. >> right, but not always. but things like loki, for example, you go wow, what was my seven year old self be doing now, or would i be pinching myself. so rather than seeing it task a pressure, i sort of see it as also to give myself permission to be joyful and playful as well. >> trevor: i love thasm you have one of the most interesting connections with loki, because tom hiddleson plays loki and you went to the same drama school as

him. >> yep, he was a year below me at drama school, even though i'm a bit yowd younger. >> trevor: tu realize you have a horror movie story, no one is getting killed in your story but are you following all the people, we were born at the same lopt. we went to the school school. >> i know, the degreeses of separation. >> trevor: no one died but you know. >> yeah, i mean it was really comfort-- comforting especially filming loki in 2020 to be surrounded by so many brits and-- so it felt like you know, a bit of a brit reunion and i think when the world is so unstable it it was really comforting for all of us to be around the drama school buddies tses tu are someone who has done everything. a lot of people know you from your acting. you also have been somebody who has been really closely involved with united nations and working around the world. i didn't know this about you until i read a little deep near your world. have i always known youred dad is south african, your mom is english.

i knew your name gugu is from tout safer ca but what i didn't know is your dad this to tess cape south africa because he was fighting the apartheid government and it was actually the u.n. partly that helped him, i mean. >> circle of life, it's really truly incredible. and it is a strange thing because you know obviously it is an incredible honor to have become a good william bas dor, but my dad under the apartheid era was an activist and had to flee and it was the very difficult time for him. and he was studying doing his medical training. and he actually-- they helped him finish his medical training and come to the u.k so when i got the call it to be able to go on my first mission with unhvr you know, my kowsin was like aha!, that is an ancestral call, you know, like that truly is an ancestral call
