[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ all right. tonight is the night, people. all year long we've been waiting to find out if republicans will take control of congress and stop president biden's agenda. or if democrats will keep control of congress and somehow stop biden's agenda. [laughter] and it's all led up to today, election day. a great day for democracy and for people who love waiting in lines. another chance to smell a stranger's hair. [laughter] you've probably heard it everywhere. you know, many people believe this may be the most important election of our lifetimes. and yes, i know they said that about 2020. i also know that they said that about the 2018 midterms, and they definitely set it about

2016. which i know makes some people say clearly none of these elections are as important as people say, they always say it's the most part election, but maybe we are thinking of it wrong. maybe everything is getting worse and worse, which makes every election more and more important. and i know i said that -- it sounded good, but it's not. my inflection didn't match the feeling. think of it this way. when you're in a car, the brakes are the most important safety feature, right? when you are in your driver, it helps to have brakes. but then when you get on the road, the brakes become more important. when you're on the freeway going 100 miles per hour, the brakes are even more important! none a school bus gets stuck in front of you and then you realize that the school bus is full of puppies and the puppies are holding the only copy of rihanna's new album! now the brakes are the most important brakes of our lifetime! [applause] why did i take my breaks for granted? luckily many people did feel like this was an important election, so all around the

country people turned up to vote. everywhere. from arizona to pennsylvania, to wisconsin went to a bunch of states that the media doesn't even care about. people cast their votes in this election. another the voting is finished, there is some good news. you all voted perfectly, and every problem in america has been solved. [laughter] congratulations, everyone!

[cheers and applause] roy, tumultuous time for the democrat's, what's the mood like over there right now? >> it's nervous, trevor. the democrats are not expecting a good outcome tonight.

chuck schumer already sweating like elon musk looking at twitter's balance sheet. nancy pelosi -- nancy pelosi pacing so hard she already got in her steps for the week. joe biden... well, he's taking a nap, but it's a nervous nap, one of those nervous naps when you're asleep at the wheel. arizona! >> trevor: you know if democrats lose big tonight, many strategists will suggest that their campaign messages didn't resonate enough with the voters. because they ran on abortion rights and saving democracy, but it seems like for most voters, that wasn't a priority. >> the democrats agree with you, trevor. that's why tonight they're coming up with brand-new campaign messages to get voters on their side. >> trevor: tonight? don't you think it's a little too late for that? everyone has voted already. >> there are still people in line in georgia, and just wait until they get on twitter and see democrats new campaign slogan... "vote for us, and we will get rid of mondays." [laughter] is a good one.

>> trevor: that's weird. and it also doesn't tuesday just become the new monday? >> no, no, that's not how it works because then tuesday... [laughter] they got other ideas anyway. they got other ideas. here's another one the democrat a promising. they are promising to make another season of "the office," and for black voters, "martin." and they've got a new tax plan. hey what you want and i'll make it so that everyone's team makes it to the super bowl. [applause] >> trevor: okay -- >> pay what you want and everybody's team makes it to the super bowl. >> trevor: but roy, i don't understand. if everyone's teammates it to the super bowl -- >> no, no, i'm not done with the list. you come with all of that 60 logic very how about this one? unlimited breadsticks at every restaurant, even the chinese ones! even the chinese restaurant, unlimited -- [applause] they don't even give you breadsticks at chinese restaurants! and look at this list right

here. look at all this stuff. pumpkin spice lattes year-round, that's what basic bitches like you. [laughter] and if none of that works, the democrats -- here is something is there promising. every oscars will have a surprise slap! [laughter] tell me that won't be exciting! a surprise slap! where asleep just hauling off and slapping timothee chalamet! you know you want to see that shit. >> trevor: i mean, these sound very exciting, but it seems very desperate from the democrats. >> that's what i told them, but they refused to give up and now they're talking about forgetting everything. student loan debt, forgiven. gambling debts, forgiven. gave an embarrassing best man speech at your boys wedding. forgiven. you hear that, vernon? can't be mad at me no more forcing your wife looks like shrek. it is what it is, brother. [laughter] getting mad at me. >> trevor: why would you say that during the best man speech?

because she started it! i came to that wedding in peace to support them. she the one who said i got a silver light's hairline. you don't do that to amend! you know a man's hair is a line you don't cross! >> trevor: where got to talk later about that. roy wood jr., everybody. [cheers and applause] all right. before we cross over to our next correspondent, we do have a new life projection coming in, and it's a big one. in the state of georgia, the georgia senate race, "the daily show" project that herschel walker has won 23andme. [laughter] i didn't even realize 23 on me was a thing you could win, but they just announced it, so good for him, i guess. good for him. he did it. but anyway, let's go live now to michael kosta, why the lead is coming to us from election

deniers had quarters. >> that's right, trevor. there are so many election denier's running this year that they have their own headquarters where they can watch the results come in, and fun facts, the wi-fi password here is "ellery killed jfk and also is jfk," all caps. >> trevor: i'm really intrigued. what's the mood like over there? >> they are having a blast here, and i will tell you one thing they are not denying, more jell-o shots! these people know how to party, trevor! >> trevor: i'm assuming election deniers must be doing well tonight? >> they are, and hundreds of election deniers ran for office and a lot of them have already won the races! >> trevor: i see... wait, these are election deniers, so i guess they don't think there's any fraud in their elections? >> of course not. they won. [laughter] >> trevor: but then what about the election deniers who didn't win tonight? >> obviously their elections were stolen.

just like trump's was in 2020 and will be again in 2024, unless he wins, in which case it was legitimate. [laughter] >> trevor: it sounds like these people are just sore losers. >> we do not say that word here, trevor. especially not with the hard " "r." [laughter] >> trevor: the reasoning doesn't make any sense! >> actually it's pretty simple. let me break it down for you. you see if they lost... that's because it was rigged. and you can tell it was rate... because they lost. >> trevor: yeah, but michael, that's circular logic. >> at section more than oval if you ask me. [laughter] >> trevor: okay, how do they know the election they won wasn't rigged? >> that's easy. because they won, so it's fair. it's all over here on this other oval. [laughter] [applause] and now that they've won, they can change the voting laws!

you know, purge the voter rolls, throw out ballots they don't like, give themselves the power to overturn results so they never lose again. >> trevor: but that's rigging the election so they win! >> what are you not understanding? okay? if they win, that means it wasn't rigged. after they not have ovals in africa? [laughter] >> trevor: we have ovals! this it is about logic! it doesn't seem a good democracy to me. >> i'd love to keep expanding it but i got to go, everyone's heading over to the capital to celebrate, or to storm it. we will see when we get there! >> trevor: michael kosta, everybody! [cheers and applause] this is a really stressful election. all right, before we get to our next correspond, we have similar results coming in. our analysts have crunched all the numbers and we can confirm that that five bucks you donated didn't do shit. [laughter] for more results, let's throw it over to dulce sloan in the 2022 election center right now!

[cheers and applause] >> hello! hello! >> trevor: dulce, dulce, it's really crazy, what can you tell us about this 2022 election? >> 2022? no, i met 2024 election center, baby! >> trevor: 2024? >> yeah! the presidential election! we got to move on. 2022 is old news. that shit is over. >> trevor: it's literally not over. i want to know who won tonight's races. >> you want to know won tonight's races? then google it! [laughter] >> trevor: what are you here for? >> listen, and here to widely speculate about who might win next time. it's called "the news." [laughter] [applause] the news! >> trevor: fine, i'll play along. what data can you give us about 2024 presidential race? >> what? who is data? what are we... it's way too early for that! this is my favorite part of the

race, where you can just get on tv and gossip! yeah! [laughter] i don't gossip, i'm a good christian woman, but... [laughter] but did you hear trump called ron desantis a bitch? [laughter] and joe biden says he's running again, but i heard he died three months ago! [laughter] why are you groaning? >> trevor: this is -- >> if the man met jesus, the man met jesus, what are you upset about? [applause] now listen, listen, listen! you can't forget about the wild card in race... oprah! >> trevor: wait, are using oprah is running? >> she didn't say she's not, so as far as i'm concerned, she is! >> trevor: dulce, come on! this is what people hate about

the political media. >> hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, not forcing anybody to watch. if you don't like it you can turn off your damn tv. >> trevor: enough speculation, dulce sloan, everybody! this is too much! [cheers and applause] none of that! okay, as you know, as you know, many news organizations did their own exit polling today, so we sent desi lydic out to some polling locations in new york city for some exit polls of our own. let's see how that turned out. >> hi, i'm desi lydic, here outside the polls on election day. i would be inside voting, but i've got one too many felony convictions, so instead, doing some exit polling. i'm just doing a little bit of exit polling, can i ask a few questions cue mexico sure. >> great. did you base your decision to exit based on a sign above the door that said exit or just like a got position? >> huh?

>> did you just exit the pulse? >> yes we did. >> thank you for your time! what was her exit experience like? >> the last few questions on the ballot were all about things we would vote yes or no for to include for new york, and one of them was about having values for the city -- >> i don't want to know what's on the ballot. because that's mine. >> or how you voted. i more interested in exiting, what was her exiting experience like? was an exit sign over the door? >> i didn't even notice. >> didn't notice... were you paying attention to anything apart and? >> yeah, i was paying attention to the voting. >> what direction do you think we are headed in? >> the way things are looking, it's very frightening. speak on sorry, i don't mean as a country, i just mean in terms of where the door is. >> the door looks like it's leading in the wrong direction, away from property. >> no, i mean like literally -- i'm asking literally about the door, do you open it with your hand cue mexico the door is open. yes, the door is open. >> thank you. is it that hard to talk about doors? why is it so hard to talk about

doors? >> yes, because you think there is some symbolism attached the idea of the door. >> no symbolism, i'm done with symbolism. what color was the paint in there? are we talking eggshell or more of an off-white? >> [laughs] it was eggshell. but you know, this isn't really how exit polls work. have a 13 year old here, and teaching him the whole civic process. >> i know. i know it exit polls are, i just cannot talk but these candidates for one more second. >> i hear you. >> is not really about exits, or doors. >> i know what exit polling is, it's just that the midterms stressed me out much that i want to talk about literally anything else. this morning i woke up in a cold sweat screaming "lee zeldin." >> i think the economy is also very important. >> i don't want to hear about that. what did the door handle look like? you are a coordinator!

just a minute looking for! i'm doing some exit polling. can you talk to me about the design of the exits? >> all right. basically the exits are -- we have a front exit so people can come in the building. also the people that are handicapped or whatever can still come out the same way they went and buried >> got it. so the front entrance is also handicap exit. >> yes. >> this is just the information i was looking for a very to finally someone who can give me the answers that i want! thank you! >> [laughs] >> just what i wanted!

show that's where the culture. today we will be discussing the history of black governors. i know what you think of governors. you think of old white men in big mansions with a top hat and that weird monocle. just wear sunglasses, governor, you can afford the frames! but in fact, america has a history of unknown, but meaningful, black governors. like pbs pitch back, america's first black governor , and the only politician in u.s. history brought to you by viewers like you. born in georgia to a black slave mother and a white plantation owner who emancipated him and his mom would have made for one hell of a "morey" episode. during his life, he could pass as a white man of latin descent, leaned into his blackness, something that is known today as draking. he got involved in politics and rose to the third highest office in the state of louisiana, which

is pro tem both the senate buried not as some people believe, the football coach at lsu. then in 1872 after the lieutenant governor died and the governor was impeached, he became governor. because sometimes the best way for black people to take power is to just wait for somebody else to die. come along. pinchback would unfortunately only hold the office for 35 days, but during that brief stint, he enacted ten laws, proving that it's not about how long you last, fellas, it's about how efficient you are when you're in there, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise! which brings us to our sponsor... gas station sexual enhancement pills. i don't how they were, i don't know what's in them, but i do know they make my chest hurt. after pbs pinchback's

governorship, america would not see another black person serve in that role for over 100 years. that man would be douglas wi wilder. wilder grew up in the segregated south of the 1930s. during his time at virginia's union university, he experienced so much racism working at a diner, he considered poisoning white peoples salads, which may sound harsh, but if you order a salad at a diner, you deserve to be poisoned. after graduating, wilder was drafted into the army, served in the korean war. he would go on to win the bronze star for his heroism during the battle of pork chop hill. pork chop hill. that's what you want to order at a diner. a whole big pile of pork chops, sauteed in butter and garlic, and it's just the grady... delicious! wilder returned to virginia and got into politics.

after serving in the virginia senate, in 1989, he became the first black person ever elected governor of virginia, and he owed it all to his campaign slogan. "don't make me poison your salads!" moving on. our next black governor patrick. patrick was raised by a single mother in the chicago southside after his father, a jazz musician, left his family. because everybody knows that jazz is all about the kids you don't raise. after graduating from harvard law school, he spent the early of us to be 80s working as a lawyer for the naacp. during that time, he sued then-arkansas governor bill clinton and impressed him so much during the case clinton later hired him. you ever get your ass feet plane pick a bicycle so bad you say you've got to be on my team? then he hates playing with you because you got a busted knee and a bad heart and you both

start slapping peoples asses because that's what we did back in the day. there's nothing about that, carl! call me back, let's ball. after serving president clinton's justice department, he spent some time working in the private sector before returning to politics and in 2006, deval became the first black governor of massachusetts, succeeding whitest governor of massachusetts, mitt romney. it was like going from walking fraser to the bet awards. it's jarring. moving on to our final governor, david patterson, who was not only new york's first black governor, but also the first blind governor in american history. he was like a political stevie wonder. if you're one of those people who actually believe that stevie wonder is blind. i know you can see, stevie! i was at the concert in '78! turned and ran from the! i want my money, [bleep]!

in 2008, then-lieutenant governor patterson took over the governorship from eliot spitzer after he was disgraced from having numerous affairs with high-end escorts. but once patterson took office, he proved that black governors could also be plagued with scandals. the previous affair with a coworker came to light, he was accused of giving jay-z sweetheart investment deal, he was found for unlawfully accepting yankees world series tickets. all in all, he was having a pretty good time as governor. that's all about governors we have time to discuss today. there are no more black governors? that was all the black governors? damn. black people have produced less governors than "predator" movies. that tells me two things. one, america must do better. two, i need to watch "predator" again, that was a damn good

>> not cry! [laughs] it's funny, because i'm always -- back home in south africa, that's what i was known for, so i am actively resisting roles that i as a character would have to cry. and in this one i loved the fact that viola's character tells my character that you do not cry in this space. i absolutely loved it because then it means i don't have to cry! [laughter] but then, you know, the movie then tells us that what viola was telling my character is not necessarily true. because it's taking away her tears, means stripping her of her humanity ultimately. but yeah, i choose projects that i feel will have some sort of impact. you know, we're not following the money, where following purpose, where following changing people's lives. i did drama in high school and university because i wanted to use acting as a tool for social change buried >> trevor: i love that. i love it. because people take for granted -- [applause] the world, what to do in it.

[laughter] >> trevor: you beating yourself in the beginning. why would you put yourself through it? you know you can use a stunt double, right? >> okay, wait. our director gina does not

believe in stunned doubles. >> trevor: wow! >> yeah, number one pair it's a part of the audition for the movie was going through a physical and fitness test to determine what i be able to do my own stunts or not. >> trevor: so you know how to fight now? >> i like to believe. >> trevor: so you can fight? >> i don't know. i don't know. we have action and cuts in the movie. in real life... >> trevor: i also learned from talking to some of the people who were involved in the movie that -- this is one of my favorite stories from the film. everyone had to do i think it was two hours of training. >> yes. >> trevor: two hours of training. you then said no, i would like to do three hours. >> an extra hour. naturally. >> trevor: but then because of that, the director was like that's a great idea, everyone should do three hours. >> it was my that! really, really, really. we are all new to stunts and action and i have great confidence in the month of time i put into my acting and the

research on the conversations and the rehearsals, and so let's say my acting as a peer, i needed my stunts to be at least, you know, in the vicinity. >> trevor: you became that kid in class.

teller of the story versus just the person who is in it? >> i think more than anything i want to create the stories that are innately in us. because growing up and being in this industry, one, you believe that you can be anything, until you get to the industry and they tell you know you can't. and so what are those stories? with the paramount+ deal, we are specifically focusing on health, climate, and equity as part of their social impact initiative and taking that to south africa and africa. and so are stories that will transform people's thinking, because from my understanding, from what i've experienced back home is they are very keen on commissioning projects that will encourage the start of behavior, but aren't necessarily teaching people how to transform and empower their lives. >> trevor: wow. >> so if we can come with the stories that are both entertaining and teaching people to do better and be better, then i'm all the happier for it. because an otherwise why are we doing this? you know? >> trevor: i like that.

i really like that.
