Trevor Noah hosts the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning “The Daily Show,” which received two 2019 Emmy® nominations, including Outstanding Variety Talk Series and Outstanding Interactive Program. Noah’s latest stand-up special “Son of Patricia” was released in 2018. His other stand-up specials include “Afraid of the Dark” (2017), “Lost in Translation” (2016) and “African American” (2013). This year, Noah is crossing North America on his “Loud & Clear” arena tour and will release the paperback version of his 2016 New York Times best seller “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” as well as an adaptation for young readers. Noah has several projects in development via his Day Zero Productions, including a feature film adaptation of “Born a Crime” and a half-hour comedy at Comedy Central.
NDI’s Leadership in Democracy Award recognizes individuals and organizations from around the world that have carried out NDI’s mission of “working for democracy and making democracy work” through innovative or non-traditional means, typically outside of the fields of politics or international affairs, often through the establishment of public-private partnerships. The award honors “outside-of-the-box” leadership that reinforces a culture of democracy; recognizes and promotes fundamental human rights; helps ensure that democracy delivers for all citizens; and creates or sustains democratic institutions. NDI is grateful to individuals whose distinguished commitment to democracy has a transformational impact. Their passion, involvement, and impact is an inspiration to and catalyst for others to emulate their examples and get involved.
NDI’s 2019 Democracy Gala celebrates humor as the most democratic form of speech, and explores how humor critiques social and political imperfections in democracy, informing and leading to social change. We know that satire is a valued and trusted vehicle for freedom of expression. There’s growing evidence, however, that comedy and satire are also powerful tools for promoting a broader range of democratic values. Comedy and satire allow us to communicate pro-democracy messages. They build bridges to new audiences, such as the 18 to 35 year-old youth demographic.

When Trevor Noah talks I feel like I should be taking notes
exactly my thoughts, he is so brilliant and articulate
Same here
I did take notes though😅
Golden keynote : if you want to deliver a comedy, make sure you’re saying something that the other person can mutually relate and had never put a thought on it.
I am taking notes😂
Exactly 💯 😂😂😂😂♥️
I'd just like to point out that Trevor didn't use any notes.
my thoughts exactly. He is an AWESOME speaker
Noted
The words are strongest when come from heart. I love his personality and what he stands for.
Being comedian, this is so natural to him. The most impressive is saying things in a comedic fashion yet still has real meaning. Love this dude.
He’s a wonderful speaker!
The more I see and hear this man, the more I love him. He's an inexaustible source of thoroughly good common sense and perfect-pitch humor.
Ain't that something
so true man....
Simon Hamilton well said
This comment is so perfect!
100% true
Which university is willing to honor this young man with a political doctorate? Dr Trevor Noah... It sure has a ring to it
The University of " Crack Jokes on Trump".
@@sujithmathew5115 😂
You can't use an honorary degree to give yourself a title as such (as it would confuse people).
If he wanted to include an honorary doctorate in his name, he'd be "Trevor Noah, Dr.h.c."
@@RalIix we learn everyday, thanks for the heads up. I know few people in my country who use Dr in front of their names even though they were h.c.
I can think of Dr Evan Khoza, owner of Orlando Pirates team, Dr Nelson Mandela, Dr Winnie Mandela and many others. I think Desmond Tutu got one too...
@@africanchild5719 but they were awarded those honorary doctorates by universities , due to the work they have done in their respective fields , so they didn't just add the Dr before their names .
so Trevor has to wait for one of our universities or like Lucas Radebe an international university to honor him , then he will be Dr. Trevor Noah.
John Stewert managed to find this gem of a man to replace him in the daily show. What a choice.
He made the right choice...
So did Jon Stewart, by the way.
නිෂාන් සුගතදාස Nishan Sugathadasa, John Stewart is genius and special person!
@Mimisviews hay wethu, replace .
Mimisviews ...“ no one can“..Deeply humble statement. One of the many reasons he is loved!
Trevor is extraordinarily wise for his age, perhaps for any age.
He is very wise!
Absolutely!
@Mimisviews you guys like acting special though. There's an entire collective of mixed race people in SA and literally all over the world. In South Africa it's even organized in communities and it's racialized. In Brazil and many places there are millions of people who looks just like you. I think you guys completely overplay the fact that you are mixed race.
@Mimisviews but I am glad he makes you feel represented.
I agree. He is so intelligent and his observations are so insightful and conscientious.
Thanks Jon Stewart you have given America and the world excellence by accidentally finding and persuading a young man who was born a crime to be your successor!
The real Larry king?
I agree. However Trevor was already a very funny and well known stand up comedien before being 'found" by Jon Stewart. He does of course now have a much larger stage.
@@peeweepierce5798 John Stewart accelerated his career by a humongous margin.
He introduced him to the American audience the biggest audience in the world
@@SuperZalwango as i said. I agree 😁
100 % Trevor Noah, 2020. I too, can listen to him speak all day.
Trevor Noah is wise far beyond his years. We are so proud of this young man. We gave America our best.
Thank you truly. We love him!
Truly mam he is the best.
Well said. Our pride and joy
@@patriciabusch4599 god bless you
He's the best and a hero 💯💯💖👌🏽
When you re too late to say nice things about Trevor because everybody else wrote first.
3 as1
Imagine me, I'm two days after you. 😃😃😃😃😃
Haha..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
He is such an inspiration. His messages and ideologies transcends countries, cultures and languages. Simple truths which resonates with every person every where.
Azka AmirHe is so deep 👏👏👏
Racism desease will be cured when this rare genius becomes the president of North America!
Yes he's the one who got many people in NYC hope. He's a genius 💯 because he's seen it all and now on top of the world 🌍
I wish he could be the next president 👌🏽💯💯💯🙏🏼🌻
This is sarcasm, right?
If this speech is unscripted, as I think it truly is, Trevor is nothing short of a remarkable oratory genius ...
I'm sorry to disapoint you, but this speech wasn't "really" unscripted. It was a combination of different points he's given on different occasions like interviews to his book and such. Nevertheless it's powerful and true. You don't have to have genuine thoughts everytime, as long as the message fits the need. And it does.
@@marcus_w0 if he didn't write the speech down, memorized it and recited it, by definition the speech is, in fact, unscripted. He may have prepared notes or gave it much thought or write down bullet points on what he was gonna say as you said he may have said those things during other occasions, and that's coming prepared. Being prepared doesn't mean you have to be scripted. Scripted, no. Prepared, yes.
Comedians are professional speakers. It just happens that when at most times they are on stage they tell jokes instead of speaking of other things.
@@conancat Yeah, I get your point. But I refered to unscripted as to unprepared and off the cuff and new. And that it wasn't. It was a medley of things he's already been saying on other occasions. But, like I said, this doesn't make it a bad speech. It was a strong and powerful one and I enjoyed to listen.
It comes naturally to him because it part of his daily job as speaker, even though he is brilliant and spontaneously keeps getting better at his job. Also we have heard him mentioned these stories before.
@@marcus_w0 It probably would have help if you had not misused the word "unscripted". That threw me off as it did Grey Ang. Saying something 'new' is not a part of being unscripted. Unscripted means you spoke whatever was on your mind even when it something you've sad before. I do agree that it was a great speech, though.
We are so blessed to call Trevor Noah one of our own, he is really making Africa proud in a huge way, pele eya pele bro.
Wow
And he only had to destroy the Daily Show to do it.
Pele ka Trevor pele
Indeed we are Proud of him
And Congratulations for the award
May he continue to shine the light
Pele ea pele kannete
Trevor is becoming one of the best speakers of our time.
I love this comment...and he's definitely going places, the daily show is just the beginning
Rukiya Mwatela His stand up in SA was the beginning. I’ve been a fan of his since seeing his first special on Netflix 6ish years ago. Lol
Fake and gay.
Jewish father and the best schools you can get in south Africa. You actually thing thing he got to America and on TV by chance, like the average person? Dreaeeeam, dream, dream, dream.
Our golden boy
One thing that makes him great is that, He is an amazing storyteller.
I could listen to this guy speak all day
I have listened to almost everything that had to do with Trevor Noah on youtube lol
Me too. I do.
You are not alone 🙋🏼♀️
God Bless Trevor Noah. He is truly genuine as he shares his resonating life stories. His democratic message is excellent. Congrats!
Yes, he has an audio book for that.
I just love and marvel at the way the world is receiving him. This warms my heart as his fellow South African. Great speech. Dear World, he's yours too ❤️
Trevor Noah is very eloquent and spiritual young man.
Really? The war criminal Madeline Albright, she who said, The deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children due to sanctions, was worth it. She who championed the bombing of Yugoslavia, is a sweet, lovely woman, he thinks would be a Great African mother?... she is a monster. Shame on Trevor for even acknowledging her, let alone groveling and complimenting her..
Trevor is such a lovely man. So humble and wise beyond his years.
We people from Africa are just Smart Naturally...We can't help it..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
but we are very dumb we cant see how they are taking him away from his goals soon they will make him their western stoogy president
@@jameelreza1 That's ur Opinion. ...Nobody is giving Noah anything, He's working hard for what he has....I met him at one of his concert in Boston and had 1-on-1 Chat....He's nobody's project.
@@jwaitathu will they tell you that they have him in the pocket? understand the dynamics of politics in RSA today and you will understand were we are going.
Mediline is bad news.
@@jameelreza1 he still got his own WILL...what he wants or or not wants...to become.
@@niciv.n.8747 yes he does and we are seeing it right now.
to an african township raised guy like me this guy is inspiring.
Very Inspirational
south african,,,
There are more youngster like him in Africa here hiding in their shells i wish there see more of him to break themselves free...speech from the heart👌
Bring them over..we need laughter and wisdom on our trying times right now..
Sssoooooo true!!!!!!!😍😭
Bless, Trevor Noah. Thank you to South Africa for sharing him with the world.
Now we need him as a president ..😂
You're welcome 🙂🇿🇦
Anytime
You are welcome
This man needs to run for President eventually.
Thomas Goyette I wish. Non-born citizens cannot run for president. Not even naturalized citizens 👎🏻😞
My god I wish that was possible!
@@jaywalt8418 That's okay, he should run in SA, he would have a lot of people's votes here.
robyn ramaboka I would gladly move back to OUR mother land if he did👌🏾💯
Speaker of the house maybe
He deserves this award. He is a gifted comedian and an intelligent speaker.
Way too proud of him considering I had absolutely no contribution to his success. Really love him. He’s done so well for himself and for others. Well done Trevor 👏🏾 so proud!!
This man is really powerful, he seems less from far, but this man is on his way up. Congrats to my fellow South Africa brother Trevor Noah.
And the bokke won with Siya as captain. It's been a good week Brother
This man is really aware about his point of speech,witty humor and the personification of his country kudos to you sir!!
This video deserves more views
Peter Chad Henniker it’s only a few days old
This man is such a beautiful person, inside and out!
Articulate and intelligent, it is so refreshing to listen to him!
"When you can laugh at somebody in power, it reminds them that they, like you, are still a human being who is accountable to other human beings. And once that gets removed, there is no more joke..."
Damn Trevor, you beautiful bastard. And I thought I cannot love you even more.
Not sure where you are from.. but back during the Apartheid days.. they would call all mix raced kids.. "bastards".. It's just weird that you used that term.. but I understand you probably didn't know..
It was a term of endearment. I didnt mean anything by it.
@@JhoRPG I know.. I only observed it because like Trevor I grew up during Apartheid too.. so that word just kinda caught me off guard.. It's okay.. I understand.
@@darkmagnis2902 Maybe Jho does/did understand BUT you don't!
Congrats on the award Trevor, you truly deserve all the recognition!
Trevor is a brilliant story teller n an inspiration to us all!
I can listen to this guy speak the whole day any day
Wow, what a beautiful speech,thank you Jon Stewart for finding him and giving us the pleasure of enjoying the daily show.I look forward to it everyday.
Agreed... No notes or evidence of a prompter... Really impressive
He made this seem so easy; an absolute genius.
He is just everything. Smart, articulate, cute, fluent and.....................
Full package
Very well spoken wonderful human being. Great speech 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇦🇺
Trevor Noah is an amazing and moving speaker. I would love to see his voice heard on world issues on an even larger stage than he already has. I love when he speaks to his audience about issues unscripted on The Daily Show. He seems very genuine.
The las sentence was the most powerful call to awareness and vigilance.
Trevor Noah is an amazing human being, lighting up the world with intelligence, truth, wit, and laughter!
And this is why Trevor is one of my biggest role models!
Wow congratulations 👏👏👏👏Trevor you are such an important vessel in this world
Nice to see someone doing great things and being rewarded for their positivity. He’s very humble. Way to go Trevor!!
Great to see Trevor Noah get an important recognition for his efforts and talent. Lovely and inspiring speech! I love to listen how he crafts his point of view, as he tells a story that will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
Trevor.... you deserve much more.....at last someone is recognizing you for the cathartic way you can make people laugh about serious issues .....just to keep from crying!!
The first time I heard about Trevor Noah was through my Uncle when I visited South African ,
He said : " This guy is awesome and everyone body loves him here, here take the DvD. He's funny"
16 years old me never understood how underrated that comment was. Now 10 years later, I'm 26 and look at him. This guy walked miles. Gotta respect that .
Trevor Noah give this amazing speech, receives an award, we won the Rugby world cup, things are looking quite good🇿🇦 what an inspiration
Greatness can come from most challenging situations and events of life experiences. Trevor Noah is an example of that.
Trevor is an amazing being.
Love me some Trevor Noah! This man speaks more eloquently than our current President. Too bad he can't be President because he'd heal America.
He rather be what he is now...once you are a president, then everyone starts to blame you for any wrong that happens...To be a president is not about talking, it is about doing...
That story about Trevor 's grandfather brought tears to my eyes. 💕 Lots of love Trevor (from Zimbabwe)
You inspire me biggly, Trevor
Congratulations Trevor!!! You're an amazing human being. Blessings 👏👏👏👏
There is nobody who can truly actually hate on this man, it’s just not possible
It’s the dimples
Unless you are Donald Trump
ROMAIN WHITE, dumb people hates Trevor tho
He gets ALOT of hate in South Africa particularly the white comedians.
Tori Temple then those comedians will remain unknown
My brother from another mother..... Kudos from 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Trevor is good, like really good. That's oratory.
Such an inspiration bro, keep opening people's minds - at the core we all just want to be happy - all 7 billion of us...
Articulate, insightful, informative satire challenging the way we think about the world...yes, it deserves recognition. Congratulations Trevor!
Thank you for being so amazing, Trevor Noah!! And those 14 people who pressed 'dislike'...get a life, people!!
Trevor is so damn eloquent even when telling jokes !!! Such an inspirational figures
Trevor is always so inspiring, witty, and perfect! Wish there was a love button for this video!
I love this man. An orator par excellence.
Trevor Noah is so humble. He’s smart, witty, and so charming, such a gentleman. One day I hope to meet him. It will be a honor 👍🏽
I feel like I should read your "Book" Trevor
"Born A Crime".
You're a blessing and hope to us all.
Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely speech Trevor God bless a Million times 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇
Cliff Gama
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Amen!♥️
I get the feeling Treva is the "better" male version of an Oprah Winfrey. 💙🤔👍🙂💙
Except the back biting.
@@bismarkadu8799 Yes. That is true. May he have the wisdom to recognize the back biting coming from the haters is just an illusion; a paper tiger, there only to make him stronger. Just as they a have been us since childhood, and will always be, till ,of course, our level of maturity allows for it to fall away like water on a duck's back.He has a golden heart. He has a vision not of this world even though he is in it. Do you love him? Because it's that love he feels hidden deep inside US that keep him going. 🤔 Plus hes funny as hell in an intelligent in a dignified way.
Oprah Winfrey does shit that even Trevor finds disgusting. Propping up snake oil salesmen and dangerous conspiracy theorists who believe things like vaccines cause autism.
Nico Estelle
I feel he can give more to the world
@@lizard9 So can we all. Give him time. The man has a beautiful star within that's just getting started. I'd vote him for president lol However that may not be his calling. Making us laugh in such an interesting and intelligent way is a great gift. He has a special way of bonding with our higher faculties.
I love this kid. He's so smart and genuine. Congrats Trevor!
The first time I saw Trevor Noah the first thought that came to my mind was that he is going to be president one day. Then I saw him on the daily show I learn he is from South Africa.
I love that it's Madeleine Albright who presented Trevor Noah this award!!
I loved his remarks addressed to her. Trevor: gracious, a lovely man.
Future unite nation Leader! Trevor truly care for the world.
You are the best son,keep up the good work,what a speech, you make us South Africans very very proud 🇿🇦🇿🇦
If Trevor Noah is my professor, I wouldn’t miss one second of his class. Talking about freedom of speech in a form of comedy with such eloquence, brilliance and wisdom. So good as always. I could listen to him talk all day.. In fact I do most of the time.. Downloaded so many videos of his stand-up and interviews. I’m in love. ♥️
I have watched all his standup specials. He has told this story several times and it never stops being funny.
Gosh, I love Trevor Noah. What a true gentleman.
You can tell from Trevor high regard for his grandfather, referring to the policeman on horse back and reference to the African matriarchs, he has always been blessed by being surrounded by golden mentors, who were instrumental in instilling pride in him, that we bare witness today. Keep him safe God the world need people like him.
A wonderful human ✨
Breaking barriers excellent work
God Protect You Trevor, in that Land.
In Jesus name amen.
Amen
In God's name
Ditto prior comments of adoration and appreciation for this young man. I would LOVE to spend some time with his mom so I can experience the strengths of character and wisdom he often attributes to her and are seen in this son.
I could listen to him for HOURS .....bless you Trevor. Congratulations!!
Trevor is a legend 💜💖💙💚💚
Superb observer wrapped in enigma & intellect 🤙🏽
Trevor Noah really is an amazing person, he is bright and so articulate...
The way he thinks, the way we almost see him look for the words that will in the best way possible pass to us...
He truly is a treasure of Africa yet we all over the world are able to get the very best of this amazing man.
I truly admire the person he has been and I do believe he will go places... I really do.
👏❤️🇵🇹
*He who laughs last, laughs the best* when God laughs...
Vefy true
You deserve it Trevor 👍 your voice is so soothing 😍
It takes guts to say the truth in such an eloquent and humorous way.
Victor Santana and he is deep, thoughtful and very pleasant
Absolutely and brilliantly wonderful! This is great public speaking.
his wisdom inspires me to achieve the greatness.THANK YOU Trevor for making us laugh and inspiring us...GOD Bless AFRICA
i thought she was going to drink water from that glass but it was an award.
Me too
😂😂😂
Congrats Trevor! The US loves you and is so blessed to have you among us. ♥
Congratulations Trevor! You are so loved! We are so similar it's scary in a good way! Love from me! 😆💜👣👣
“You are not afraid when you’re laughing” Trevor probably hasn’t watched The Joker...
Smooth.
Congratulations Trevor you deserve the trophy so brave and smart
He talks more like a philosopher. He express his philosophy trough humor . Its sounds so interesting and meaningful that you never feel bore
Another example of how immigrants help make the nation better.
Trina Holman legal immigrants! There’s a difference.
All Americans are immigrants.
@@olusinajoyce6379 not all.
Trevor is the most humble man I know
he's just so articulate, so eloquent and clever
Man Trevor you set the bar so high, I'm so happy for you and your achievements. This is great for many South Africans, you're allowing so many to dream big and believe, you convey a very powerful message through your greatness and merit. Thank you so much for inspiring me!
I admire Trevor Noah's approach to difficult issues. A true fan I am, and I respect him immensely.
In closing, his humorous disarming approach to tough issues is stemmed from deep, arduous pain growing up. No, I'm not from South Africa, but we have traveled similar roads.
Awareness
Great speech Mr. Noah :-)
David Ninghetto great yes but scripted. Which always is at these award shows.
Noah is a great man. God bless him even more...
