. >> i'm sure trevor noah struck a lot of people as a gigantic missed opportunity.there was articles written at the time, they should just cancel "the daily show." >> i remember having a conversation with him, i go trevor, aren't you nervous? he said hey, if this all doesn't work out, i can just fall back on poverty. isn't that the best response? >> it was a firestorm the likes of which i've never experienced. the most important thing for me was i was never trying to be a clone of jon stewart. and i think that's one of the things jon liked about me. one thing i really pushed was getting "the daily show" online. john did not care about having the show be online. i said why? where are we on facebook? where are we on instagram? where are we on twitter? for me it was great. now we can interact with a larger audience. and with it comes more responsibility because i've learned to have a show that was authentically funny because it gave a voice to people who were funny from different walks of life. >> when i look at like john oliver and samantha bee and trevor noah, they a

i sold my naming rights to a guy named trevor noah for 40 bucks. at you you didn't know this, do i look like a trevor, my real name is burt pakowski. >> i'm sorry, i can't stop picturing them removing the staples logo with one of those giant staple removers. just a giant claw, sorry t is the edibles kicking in, i think. >> trevor: i don't even know what edibles are. let's move on from sports to music. and the woman that everyone is talking it about right now. taylor swift. pop star, songwriter, and inventor of the color red. personally i love taylor swift, huge fan, really nothing bad to say about her but even if i had something bad to say about her, i wouldn't. i wouldn't say it it because taylor swift fans are super protective of her, they are like one of those old-fashioned dads with a shotgun who doesn't want you to marry his daughter because he wants to marry her. taylor swift has been rerecording all of her old albums which means people are relistening to all of her old songs about her famous ex's and then getting mad at those ex's all over ag

i'm trevor noah, and joining me for today's headlines is dulce sloan. what's going on, delsa? or: i like that. before we used to say that just as a saying but now it's like a real thing. you're really above the ground. >> truly. i don't know how high we are, but we're not supposed to be up here. >> trevor: we shouldn't. >> i planked. i mean-- what? >> trevor: good to have you. >> thank you. >> trevor: all right, let's jump right into today's headlines. let's kick things off with a surprising new side-effect of covid-19. and this isn't a physical side effect like shortness of breath or loss of smell or "mask ears," where the elastic loops make me look like obama's secret son. no, this is a side effect of how covid has become a political football. or as americans call it, a political soccer. but, yeah, basically it turns out that once conservatives got angry about having to protect themselves from one disease, they decided to do it with other diseases as a matter of general principle. >> new polls out suggest republicans are much less likely to get a flu shot now than they were b

i'm trevor noah. joining me is my good man roy wood, jr. what's going on? >> what's happening, african. how you been, bro? >> trevor: it's been crazy how everyone has been jumping into the show. i thought i would invite people, otherwise i would get surprised. i thought i would tell people to come and we'll have fun together. >> i just saw this table and thought this would be a good place to set up the chicken sandwich. >> trevor: are you eating popeyes on the show? >> yeah. >> trevor: why are you doing it with a knife andphoric? >> because there are cameras. >> trevor: let's do the headlines. don't chew loudly. >> all right. >> trevor: all right, let's begin with a crazy story out of texas. the junk in america's trunk. texas is one of the many states where schools have been cracking down on critical race theory, which i actually agree on. if black people want to learn about racism in texas, they will have to do it the old fashion way, by trying to vote. just so you understand, texas lawmakers were against teachers telling students america's inns togs were f

this is "the daily show with trevor noah." >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? daily show." i'm trevor noah. let's jump straight into today's headlines. and there is a lot going on today. obviously the new adele album drops at midnight, which means you're about to be able to tell who's going through a breakup through your walls. the judge in the kyle rittenhouse trial took a bathroom break and let kyle be the judge while he was gone, yeah, which i've never seen before, but he insists it's totally normal. and two men who were framed for the killing of malcolm x 50 years ago were finally exonerated, which means the real killer could be anyone in this room. ( whispering ) but while american news is always breaking, it's also good to remember that other countries have news, too. all right, let's kick things off with russia, the fictional country depicted in "creed 2." they're also the real-life country that likes invading other countries, and now they might be back on their bullshit. >> overseas tonight, and the growing concern involving russia. the u.s. is warning

i'm trevor noah, and joining me for today's headlines is our very own roy wood jr. how you doing, roy? >> what's up, man? how have you been? >> trevor: i'm good, really good. >> i'm okay, man. i got on my sweater. >> trevor: okay, you said that like a threat. >> no, you know, just sometimes i feel like a sweater. i don't always do suits. >> trevor: all right, okay. i also wear sweaters sometimes. >> well, yeah i know. that's what i'm saying. i'm trying to be like you. that's what i'm saying. man, do your news. >> trevor: it's good to have you, roy. >> i'm happy to be here. >> trevor: i can tell. all right, let's kick things off with today's headlines. our first story is about money. it's the world's number one favorite thing to embezzle. and as of now, you need a lot more of it to buy all the stuff you need. >> the government just released brand-new numbers on inflation from october. they're big. >> america's prices surging more than they have in 30 years. and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. >> unfortunately, the numbers are all moving in the wrong directio

with trevor noah. >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody. welcome to the daily showk i'm trevor noah let's jump straight into the big story today which is obviously the omicron variant. the coronavirus mutation causing more chaos in the world than rihanna's booty pajamas. so let's try to break it down, not the pajamas, the variant in another edition of keeping up with coronavirus. for most of 2021 the walls have been fighting the various covid variant which are more he vish than than the ogi, we had alpha, lambda, delta, now it turned it into the shitiess house of all time but when we thought we had it figured out last week scientists in south africa announced they discovered a new variant. and what they saw is freaking people out. >> scientists are racing to learn more about a new covid variant already setting off alarm bells around the world. according to south african scients the mom kron variant has more than 50 mu taitions and likely to be more transmissible. >> it has a bunch of mu taitions, a disturbingly large number of mu taitions i

this is "the daily show with trevor noah." >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? welcome to "the daily show," i'm trevor noah. let's jump right into today's headlines. we kick things off with abortion-- a great topic for any first date. last may, texas tried to ban abortion in a new way: they didn't outlaw it, but they made it possible to sue anybody who gave or helped someone get an abortion, and if you win, you get at least $10,000. so, for example, if i drove someone to an abortion clinic in texas, anybody can sue me for $10,000, anybody on earth-- you, my seventh-grade girlfriend, brad pitt-- anybody! "snitches get riches." and the reason texas structured the law this way is so that the supreme court couldn't overturn it. but yesterday, the supreme court looked at this case anyway, and they didn't sound too happy with texas getting cute like this. >> today, as protestors rallied outside the supreme court, inside, for the first time, a majority of justices signaled they are not comfortable with the new texas law. >> conservative justices brett kavanaugh and amy

this is "the daily show with trevor noah." >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? welcome to "the daily show." i am trevor noah, let's jump right into today's headlines. we kick things off with youtube, the place to go if you want to be radicalized but are too lazy to read. they're about to make a big change to the site, and if you don't like it, there's no way to tell them. >> youtube is going to start hiding the dislike count below videos. that means when you hit the thumbs-down button below a video the person who made that video will still be able to see that, but the total number of dislikes won't be displayed to the public. youtube says this is all in an effort to promote a more respectful relationship between creators and viewers. >> apparently, groups of viewers are targeting a video's dislike button to drive up the count, turning it into something like a game with a visible scoreboard. and it's usually just because they don't like the creator or what they stand for. >> trevor: yeah, finally! this is a great move from youtube. you shouldn't be able to bully

this is the daily show with trevor noah. >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody. welcome to "the daily show," i'm trevor noah. let's jump straight into today's headlines because wow. yesterday was election day. and it was not a good day for the democrats. yeah, last night was the worst night for the democrats since kamala harris went out for cigarettes and never came back. so let's get into the democrat's disastrous night in our new and maybe frequently recurring segment, the red wedding. ♪ all right, let's start in the city that shook up the world in 2020, since the police killing of george floyd minneapolis citizens have been debating whether they should make defund the police a reality in their city. so yesterday they finally voted on the plan that would reorganize and rename the police department, give some of their functions to nonpolice and make cops more accountable. and that ballot measure lost by 12 points. which let me tell you now in politic sts not that close. it's not losing a football game by 12, it like losing a baseball game by 12, that locker room

this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? welcome to the "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. joining me for today's headlines is michael kosta. did you have a great halloween? >> had a great halloween. i'm more proud of the fact i haven't seen a white person post a culturally sensitive costume. maybe we learned not to post, but maybe ted lasso was scooping up a lot of the white people costumes. >> trevor: i saw a lot of them. >> it makes me think maybe we need more tv shows with a white male charismatic lead. >> trevor: you know what, my man? i hear what you're saying. we need more white men represented on television so that people have more white men to look up to. >> look, you said it. the other thing i love about halloween, it feels like there are no rules. you can walk around your neighborhood drunk, drinking, you see a cop, they never say anything. maybe that's someone dressed as a cop. if you say something to you, you say my costume is i'm publicly intoxicated and you're good. >> trevor: i just have to commit nor crimes

i think was trevor noah of "the daily show" that tweeted "very fined people."n you have the case of kyle rittenhouse. in that case, he got off on self-defense. in moment, we will talk about a case of a woman in kenosha who is arguing self-defense for murdering her sex trafficker, her sex abuser who had gone after multiple teenage black girls. we will be looking at the case of chrystul kizer. but the kyle rittenhouse, charlottesville, and the ahmaud arbery murder case -- what does this mean for black lives matter organizing in the future? >> i think it what it means is a few things. obviously, there is still a lot of energy and a lot of discussion around how it is that we change the rules that have been rigged against us for generations and how you -- we replace those with rules that are more humane, just, and rooted in a different moral and value system. in the meantime, i think it is important for us to do a couple of things. number one, i think we have to do some investigation of how do these laws come to be? so-called self-defense laws have origin. the idea

. >> joining me now is jordan klepper, comedian and contributor to "the daily show" with trevor noah.i couldn't obviously do it because as a black lady i would stand out in a way that would make it uncomfortable for everyone. but you use your ability to walk in there and get them to talk to you, i think for good. and stuff like them saying i don't co-parent with the government in north carolina when literally the public schools in loco parentis. it would be funny if lauren and boebert and madison cawthorn didn't exist. when you look at those people and talk to them, do you see people who aren't very informed or do you see future members of congress as republicans? >> well, i see people who are perhaps differently informed. everyone i talk to has their own set of sources that they get their information, and more often than not the sources are not the sources that myself or our crew walk into the spaces to discuss these contents with them. so i don't think you talk to anybody out there they're going to see themselves as misinformed. i think they just see themselves as coming from a diff
