@@ZoilStarat least he mostly stuck to facts and was objective, which is a lot more than you can say about conservative talk show hosts. Also many Africans in South Africa actually have worse poverty than many African Americans do. Sure they are people of African descent who are well off in both countries (mostly because of luck, family connections, or financial aid), but most are still very much in poverty. That is because of past racist laws, institutions, and current more subtle systemic racism (yes it exists).
@ZoilStar you assholes are divisive because you refuse to admit the whole nation from the beginning was never intended to unite.

I am glad to see how much happier Trevor is now. Of course I miss him on the Daily Show, but Trevorr is more important than that. We bow to you South Africa for nurturing a not just a national treasure but an international treasure.
I also appreciated his early exit from the Daily Show. I’m sure there was lots of pressure to stay. We need Trevor to stay healthy and stick around for awhile!
I laughed so hard at Trevor's assertion about adding a word at the end of any line in our national anthem, my dog thought something was wrong and ran in circles around the house. Thank you, Stephen for having him on, and thanks Trevor for your original brand of humor.
Very good point about politics. Here in Canada, everyone I know directs 90% of their complaints at the party they voted for (myself included) and not really much at the opposition parties.
Man, sorry we gave you guys Trumpsters. I know America didn't cause those people to be stupid enough to become obsessed with a politician that's not even from their country, but we did produce Trump, which should be a war crime on its own.
I suspect that might have more to do with all your malcontents being on the social media of US news organizations and politicians complaining about the people who would be their opponents were they to move here. I don't understand it but I see it every day.
The greatest national anthem is the Irish National Anthem, The Soldier's Song Amhran Na Bhfiann. "Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland ... Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland, Shall shelter the despot or the slave." - Great lyrics and set to a great tune.
Noah would never have gotten this job if Stewart did not quit. Point is…Noah was always a distant 2nd to Stewart’s wit and charm. He did his best but how do you replace John Stewart? He not only didn’t…he couldn’t!
@@JoshHani - What is NOT my “opinion” is that the shows ratings tanked after Stewart quit and never recovered. The only difference between Noah and Stewart is that Stewart was both funny and charismatic.
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 I don't care about ratings. I'm not Donald Trump. I simply stated that I like how smart and reflected Trevor is. That's all.
That's a VERY VERY astute observation. I've lived in Korea, Barbados, the UK and Canada and it holds true. People criticize the person they elected into office.
The point Trevor made about how people overseas spend more time criticizing the people they voted for makes *perfect sense.* Americans just want to win at politics. People in sensible democracies actually want to hold their political winners accountable.
To be fair when its a local election and involves a mayor or some such the people will criticize them but if theres ever a split in the voters and they know the opposition has an equal chance to win then they'll spend more time attacking the rival over their own parties representative Which is overall dumb because the people still suffer when the crappy guy stays regardless of party
Don't blame the people, blame the ridiculous "largest minority wins even if it's not a majority" election system the US has. In that system, letting criticism build for your party's guy helps elect the guy you disagree with even more. So people naturally get afraid that criticizing their own guy will get someone even worse in power.
Sometimes, it is ridiculous though. The current president of Philippine is Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the son of an infamous corruptor-dictator, the late Ferdinand Marcos. Recently, people criticized him for using the presidential helicopter to go to a concert. I was like, 'Duh, you voted for the son of a corruptor. What do you expect?🙄'
Trevor has had as much of a positive impact on human society as anyone with his humorous insight, and uncanny knack for getting to the heart of a matter without offending others. I hated that he left the show, but if he can take his unique perspective to a wider audience with appearances such as this, then Godspeed Trevor.
As an American who grew up outside of the USA, I always thought it was very weird and cult'ish to have national anthem and standing ovation at a sporting event that isn't internationally competing.
Isn’t that part of some brainwashing scheme? Americans sing their anthem all the time, first thing in class and also in sporting events, they wave their flags everywhere, they swear to God in courts, the Bible is in public schools, Hollywood make Americans believe the USA saves Humanity in every movie, Veterans are honoured in various occasions… All that participates in the cult of war and the sense of imperialism that exists in this country. Most Americans feel entitled while they really shouldn’t. Maybe the worst thing with Americans is the love for money. They’ve associated God with the dollar… and another thing is how fake they can be with one another, which is something tourists very often tell about Americans. That’s because nothing is free in the US and people see a possibility to make money in every new relationship. Americans learn to hate people who are different. It starts internally: republicans hate democrats, white folks hate black folks and Latinos, rich people despise the poor (thinking they’re poor because they deserve it). In foreign affairs, Americans unite together in the hate of Arabic and so-said non-capitalist countries. Americans love guns and will always vote for millionaires. Isn’t that sick? Once again, they love money, so any millionaire is a model by principle, even if it’s Donald Trump. When it comes to the gun culture, that’s partly a legacy from the gold rush but also because people distrust each other (which started during the gold rush) and rightfully their government. So, basically, what makes the USA a country is the dollar, common hate for anticapitalism among American citizens and the wrong idea that the USA is the greatest democracy in the universe and have the duty to spread democracy all around the planet. But this unity is only possible with some brainwashing (anthem, flags, God mentions, dollar) that an American can finally realize by traveling abroad.
I love the way Trevors mind works. And how he puts that out in the world in an intelligent and gracefull and humorous way. And makes you think and see thinks in a different way. Love your work Trevor.

I've always love Trevor as a host on the Daily Show. But I love him even more after listening to his memoir BORN A CRIME. Such an intelligent, empathetic, and entertaining guy. I laughed and cried while listening to it.
I love how Trevor is insightful and gives well thought out answers especially when it pertains to America from an outsiders perspective. Many non-Americans just throw the same hateful gotcha-like things when talking about America and it’s exhausting. Trevor actually analyzes and critiques many things and I find that admirable.
Can we also have an appreciation moment for the band? It was such a nice touch for them to play Grazing in the Grass by the South African legend Hugh Masekela as Trevor walked out ☺ I love that!
This interview made me realize how much I miss Trevor Noah. What a gift he is! I was going to say we take him for granted but apparently he just won an Emmy.
The South African and New Zealand national anthems are also really beautiful and worth listening to. Both are multi-lingual anthems. In terms of the flag and patriotism I think that patriotism can easily be a gateway drug to nationalism. Patriotism on it's own is not bad but it is becoming a tool to isolate nations and create "them and us" mindsets. Someone who is patriotic and well travelled is usually very understanding of other nations and feels a bond to other countries. Someone who is patriotic and has not travelled at all is often very narrow minded and not really someone with a good understanding of other people that share the world with them but are different to them.
Nkosi Sikelele has to be the one that makes me cry. Because the first time I saw it play as an anthem and not a protest song, i was a teenager watching Nelson Mandela take power. The most unfathomable feeling.
its also essential to binding a nation together. things like giving back to a nation is only really possible when backed by sometimes irrational emotions like patriotism. i also think the idea its a gateway drug is a very university-educated perspective. we can't trust the masses. lets guide them. i think they are capable of thinking for themselves.
If Trevor thinks all anthems are about how beautiful the country is, he should listen to the French one. It's literally describing a bloodbath ! To be fair, it dates back to the French revolution, which were violent times. But it always feels weird to hear it sung by football/soccer players before a match. Like... do you intend to murder the other team and decapitate them ?! 😅
It felt super awkward, like Colbert trying to one up noah and interrupting him and have the last laugh, even trying to break down his metaphors and make Noah's story and jokes look stupid and Colbert's look better. It's almost as if Colbert felt threatened that if his jokes were better, then maybe Noah would also take over as hidt instead if Colbert. Too much awkwardness and tension. Didn't feel like old friends at all to me. I don't think they get along or like each other much.
I absolutely love when comedians from other lands share their perspectives on America. Especially Trevor and Oliver, our WEIRDNESS takes on a whole new level 😂😂😂😂
I've been an American for 45 years born and raised but I can understand why people hate us the ignorant arrogance from the majority of Americans tops my list, trump is an example of this.
@@pipedown1246 I left the US when I turned 45. 5th generation american. absolutely zero regrets. The US has a hugely overinflated sense of how good it is to live there.
The US does but these comedians also signify what America exactly represents. People with average talent and hard work can a big career for themselves that they wouldn’t have had in any other country probably.
Ohh Wow Big Ups to the Band for Playing Bra Hugh,Congratulations Trevor 🙏🏿🙏🏿South Africa is Proud of you.Mawusekasi Asenze iplani loku jabula njengoba usuWinile I Emmy.
@@MsWarriordiva I mean... The US does act like a gangster on the international stage... Sometimes that can have good effects, like defending Ukraine, but most of the time not so much.
@@arlom5132Even when it comes to defending Ukraine, the U.S. does it because it benefits them (they don’t want Russia to overtake the American position as the world’s leading superpower, especially from a military standpoint). I remember when there was a genocide in Rwanda in 1994, President Bill Clinton opted to keep the U.S. out of it. His government had nothing to gain from protecting those unfortunate Tutsis who lost their lives gratuitously.
I love his interviews so much. I haven't kept up with his specials yet and need to, but hearing him just talk like this was always my favorite. So insightful.
So lovely seeing and hearing Trevor again, the Internet misses him and his astute insights. However, as a women with dual citizenship (French and American), I must say : have you heard the lyrics of the French anthem ? It's a revolutionary song about toppling down tyranny that literally says that we'll soak the fields with our ennemies' blood.
And I'm not surprised. Who was it that helped the Americans out against the English? Of course both have gangster anthems. They toppled one of the greatest world powers at the time. They're kinda like America's older brother.
Our national anthem being "foreshadowing" of bombing other countries is hilarious. I still have a few personal issues with the history of the anthem, but this was such a great interview. EDIT: I don't like nor approve of the senseless bombing of other countries from our country. I often detest things occurring in the USA and choices being made. It's funny to me in the way dark humor is funny. It's the realization being made of it being in our anthem and the correlation to the fact that we actually do that.
The lyrics hit different if you imagine it playing during shock and awe 'the rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there' Like yeah Saddam just try to stop it
Actually I love our national anthem, I’ve read all the verses and well they speak truth. The history of it talks of how difficult war is on everyone but we stand strong. I love the song and the history
Most Americans I talked to that spend quite some time in Europe say that the mayor difference is the almost total absence of fear in Europeans. And because hate is just a symptom of fear... you figure out the rest.
Really? Such a nirvana Europe is? Do your homework. Homily as garbage. Or they may not fear as much but there is a whole lot of hate bubbling under the surface pal. I just can't stand garbage cutesy homilies- as if we can all learn from your unmitigated genius.
But they can't figure it out on their own. Create a closed circuit in any group and you will eventually get them all to repeat the same message. No human should live in an imprisonment of the mind, imposed by greedy dictators who think their will is supreme. How have we not risen above this as a species?
Unfortunately, fear is coming back in European countries as we import all of American habits and culture, thus the rise of hate and its political parties everywhere 😢
@@goldflo91yep, in Germany where I'm living the populist far right AfD are surging in popularity all of a sudden after years of being insignificant. Scary times here ahead since fascism is becoming renormalised

The full, strong and true embraces are the best! I need this type of hug…it’s been too long. Where are the quality/Big-shouldered/men of heart and character who give hugs at?
The thing Trevor said about his American friends running into international trouble is so on point, too. When I worked in South Korea and things were getting dicey around 2017-2018, my other nationality coworkers asked me, "If you hear anything from your government, could you let us know?" Like if the US was going to do evacuations or something, they asked for a heads up, because they wouldn't know otherwise. 🥲 America has problems, but just for that reason, I'm happy to be a US citizen.
Didn't work out for Khashoggi. But that was Traitor to be Trump and the Saudi 'prince?' Now he threatens all of us Ameicans in our own country. Time to sing him our not a dictatorship anthem: "And our flag is still here, bich."
The American anthem talks about the flag surviving bombs, so it's a bit sassy and emphasizes strength of perseverance. The French anthem literally talks about blood and violence (cutting throats) their citizens will wage against tyranny, so it's a bit intimidating; more of a warning in the form of a sentence. Meanwhile, the UK's closest thing to an anthem talks about well wishes for their monarch.
The Austrian anthem describes our scenery in slow motion. It's the opposite of catchy, and hardly anyone knows the words. People usually sing the first half of the first verse and the second half of the third, and nobody ever remembers the second verse.
Finland's was written before independenve and contains on equal measure longing for own country, war and battles and how beautiful the country is. I think anthem can tell quite a lot of the country. Ours somehow manages to condense our history to 11 verses although usually only two are sung.
As a non-American, Star Spangled Banner does hit different. However, I would like to say the Filipino national anthem does say, "Never shall invaders trample our sacred shore," and our anthem badass too.
Ooo! That kind of hit me in the feels. I like the that. Respect. Plus, knowing a little bit of your nation's history (as an outsider), I felt that! I pray that's true forever. Kudos to the post who wrote that.
National Anthem that created during war time are pretty badass. Our Vietnamese Anthem is technically being written as a marching song to the battlefield. There's a verse in there goes: "Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of our country The distant rumbling of the guns mingles with our marching song. The path to glory passes over the bodies of our foes."

That is because of past racist laws, institutions, and current more subtle systemic racism (yes it exists).
@ZoilStar you assholes are divisive because you refuse to admit the whole nation from the beginning was never intended to unite. That Americab White delusion of "liberty and justice for all" is top tier bullshit you tell yourselves TO BELIEVE that nothing is inherently wrong with how we treat others in the country.
@@ZoilStardeerrrrrp all he said was liberal talking points deerrrrrrrp. Go vote for that big fat orange so he can reduce the taxes for rich people some more. Thank goodness he's going to be taking care of america again...
He was biased as hell. A democratic puppet and the greatest Obama balls sucker 😅
I love how Trevor can have a dig at a country in such a polite way.
That's what I like best about him. He's polite but hilarious at the same time.
Trevor Noah was a comedian?
He's literally shitting on it the entire time lol
You should probably get your hormone levels checked if you spend any amount of time watching a foreign "comedian" who has built their entire career inside the United States by shitting on the United States.
Most Americans don't realize the joke is on them.
Trevor is honestly one of the most genuine showbiz characters in the spotlight right now..stay there bro
I am glad to see how much happier Trevor is now. Of course I miss him on the Daily Show, but Trevorr is more important than that. We bow to you South Africa for nurturing a not just a national treasure but an international treasure.
And he's a lot chubbier! I kept looking at his cheeks and thinking, this man has been chilling 😅
I also appreciated his early exit from the Daily Show. I’m sure there was lots of pressure to stay. We need Trevor to stay healthy and stick around for awhile!
Elon musk, ab devilliers, Candice swanepoel and Christian Bernard 🇿🇦
Trevor is great, good to see him again. Wish it was more often.
As A South African from Pretoria in Gauteng have supported you when you started being a comedian ❤❤❤❤ I am super proud of you. Fly high Trevor
til there is more than one Pretoria! thank you :-)
Congrats on the Emmy!
Trevor is always a breath of fresh air with his ability to have audiences gain new perspectives on any number of topics.
Without insulting too, I do couldn't have let the we are the free-eat country remarks go.
He's an okay comedian but his smile is so infectious I just like to watch him lol.
Exactly you describe it.I have the same thoughts.He suggests new perspectives
to us & doesn't run on the beaten track.
Trev, you've made South Africa very very proud. Well done, mate.
South Africa’s sweetheart is a gross understatement… ❤
I will never unhear "bitch" at the end of every line of the anthem 🤣🤣
😂🤣😅
Me either 😂
Same!
Yep!!
Trevor's just being polite. He knows South Africa's anthem is the best.
I laughed so hard at Trevor's assertion about adding a word at the end of any line in our national anthem, my dog thought something was wrong and ran in circles around the house. Thank you, Stephen for having him on, and thanks Trevor for your original brand of humor.
Hilarious 😂😂😂😂
You call your dog that so often she thinks it’s her name?!? Be nice to your furbaby 🥰
@@mariag.8242 I've never called my fur baby any such thing. HE thought something must be off because I was laughing so hard.
Hahaha, Trevor managed to entertain even your dog
My dog jumped I laughed so loud 😂😂😂😂
Love that Trevor picked Hugh Masekela's "Grazing in the grass" song for his intro. RIP Mr. Masekela.
Loved Mr. Masekela!
Why can’t we have someone like Trevor as president?? 😭 He’s insightful, wise, funny, deep and down to earth.
you forgot to say "racist" which should be before "insightful"
@@kevinshea5819 Oh look! We've got a very, very delicate snowflake here.
I actually think he’d be a great president of South Africa, but he’ll never do it.
Very good point about politics. Here in Canada, everyone I know directs 90% of their complaints at the party they voted for (myself included) and not really much at the opposition parties.
Man, sorry we gave you guys Trumpsters. I know America didn't cause those people to be stupid enough to become obsessed with a politician that's not even from their country, but we did produce Trump, which should be a war crime on its own.
I think we tend to criticize what we care for or about. You wouldn't vote for the opposition party anyway, so what's the point.
@@kloakovalimonada Yeah, like "you were the chosen one, [Politician]! You were to bring balance to the country, not leave it in darkness!"
Canada and America Both are bad government only German government is doing great work and not just politics
I suspect that might have more to do with all your malcontents being on the social media of US news organizations and politicians complaining about the people who would be their opponents were they to move here. I don't understand it but I see it every day.
Trevor is the best. I really love to watch these two lovely intelligent witty gentleman talk
The greatest national anthem is the Irish National Anthem, The Soldier's Song Amhran Na Bhfiann. "Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland ... Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland, Shall shelter the despot or the slave." - Great lyrics and set to a great tune.
I like how smart and reflected Trevor Noah is.
Noah would never have gotten this job if Stewart did not quit. Point is…Noah was always a distant 2nd to Stewart’s wit and charm. He did his best but how do you replace John Stewart? He not only didn’t…he couldn’t!
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 and that is your opinion and that might be correct. But it doesn't make my statement less true.
@@JoshHani - What is NOT my “opinion” is that the shows ratings tanked after Stewart quit and never recovered. The only difference between Noah and Stewart is that Stewart was both funny and charismatic.
He is south African not hypocrite like American
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 I don't care about ratings. I'm not Donald Trump. I simply stated that I like how smart and reflected Trevor is. That's all.
Yaaay! He mentioned Kenya! And the police reference, as a Kenyan you don't know how much I resonate with it.
Sting rocked y'all, huh? Heh heh
That's a VERY VERY astute observation. I've lived in Korea, Barbados, the UK and Canada and it holds true. People criticize the person they elected into office.
The point Trevor made about how people overseas spend more time criticizing the people they voted for makes *perfect sense.*
Americans just want to win at politics. People in sensible democracies actually want to hold their political winners accountable.
It's culturally indoctrinated within a vast endemic of mis-/uneducation😢•••
To be fair when its a local election and involves a mayor or some such the people will criticize them but if theres ever a split in the voters and they know the opposition has an equal chance to win then they'll spend more time attacking the rival over their own parties representative
Which is overall dumb because the people still suffer when the crappy guy stays regardless of party
Don't blame the people, blame the ridiculous "largest minority wins even if it's not a majority" election system the US has. In that system, letting criticism build for your party's guy helps elect the guy you disagree with even more. So people naturally get afraid that criticizing their own guy will get someone even worse in power.
Sometimes, it is ridiculous though. The current president of Philippine is Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the son of an infamous corruptor-dictator, the late Ferdinand Marcos. Recently, people criticized him for using the presidential helicopter to go to a concert. I was like, 'Duh, you voted for the son of a corruptor. What do you expect?🙄'
@@dunbar9finger when what they SHOULD be doing is getting rid of the Electoral College.
Aww I’ve missed Trevor and his perspective on political commentary. 🌸
The interrupting & clarifications between Noah and Stephen, particularly at 3:26-4:56, gives off such sibling energy.
😮
Trevor has had as much of a positive impact on human society as anyone with his humorous insight, and uncanny knack for getting to the heart of a matter without offending others.
I hated that he left the show, but if he can take his unique perspective to a wider audience with appearances such as this, then Godspeed Trevor.
I hated that he left the show too.
Why did you specify 'human' society lol
You never know where the conversation will go with these two😂😂😂 always here for it!
😂😂😂😂😂
So TRUE!👏👏
And commonly it starts from no where😅
As an American who grew up outside of the USA, I always thought it was very weird and cult'ish to have national anthem and standing ovation at a sporting event that isn't internationally competing.
that’s because it is 🥲
Isn’t that part of some brainwashing scheme? Americans sing their anthem all the time, first thing in class and also in sporting events, they wave their flags everywhere, they swear to God in courts, the Bible is in public schools, Hollywood make Americans believe the USA saves Humanity in every movie, Veterans are honoured in various occasions… All that participates in the cult of war and the sense of imperialism that exists in this country. Most Americans feel entitled while they really shouldn’t. Maybe the worst thing with Americans is the love for money. They’ve associated God with the dollar… and another thing is how fake they can be with one another, which is something tourists very often tell about Americans. That’s because nothing is free in the US and people see a possibility to make money in every new relationship. Americans learn to hate people who are different. It starts internally: republicans hate democrats, white folks hate black folks and Latinos, rich people despise the poor (thinking they’re poor because they deserve it). In foreign affairs, Americans unite together in the hate of Arabic and so-said non-capitalist countries.
Americans love guns and will always vote for millionaires. Isn’t that sick? Once again, they love money, so any millionaire is a model by principle, even if it’s Donald Trump. When it comes to the gun culture, that’s partly a legacy from the gold rush but also because people distrust each other (which started during the gold rush) and rightfully their government.
So, basically, what makes the USA a country is the dollar, common hate for anticapitalism among American citizens and the wrong idea that the USA is the greatest democracy in the universe and have the duty to spread democracy all around the planet.
But this unity is only possible with some brainwashing (anthem, flags, God mentions, dollar) that an American can finally realize by traveling abroad.
As a Canadian who grew up outside of Canada- what a great tradition to show respect for your country!
I think it's okay to do it on big occasions, but in the NBA, e.g., they do it before EVERY game. That's a little weird.
Oh my! I had written some truth about the American brainwashing and my comment got censored!
I love the way Trevors mind works. And how he puts that out in the world in an intelligent and gracefull and humorous way. And makes you think and see thinks in a different way. Love your work Trevor.
Let him go, let him go
He's our hero, don't you know
He makes us laugh, he makes us proud
He's the voice of South Africa, loud and clear
Let him go, let him go
He's done nothing wrong, just a show
He's a comedian, not a spy
He's the former Daily Show host, not a bad guy
Let him go, let him go
He's our brother, we love him so
He's a citizen, he has rights
He's a human being, not a prisoner of war
Let him go, let him go
He's our treasure, we need him more
He's a leader, he's a star
He's the best thing that ever happened to us, by far
yeah, underrated!

Commenting just to algorithm this to the top!
Awesome and great! :D
let him go, let him go
can't hold it back anymore
let him go, let him go
turn away and slam the door
"I think when you hug someone they should feel you" gah dang isnt he precious thats so beautiful and i agree
I've always love Trevor as a host on the Daily Show. But I love him even more after listening to his memoir BORN A CRIME. Such an intelligent, empathetic, and entertaining guy. I laughed and cried while listening to it.
Smiling the whole time i missed this man 😊
He is soooo handsome
Love to see Kenya well represented! 😂 Much love from Mombasa ❤❤
Damn, I miss seeing Trevor every day
I didnt even realize how much I missed this man and his infectious karma and laughter.
I love how Trevor is insightful and gives well thought out answers especially when it pertains to America from an outsiders perspective. Many non-Americans just throw the same hateful gotcha-like things when talking about America and it’s exhausting. Trevor actually analyzes and critiques many things and I find that admirable.
Can we also have an appreciation moment for the band? It was such a nice touch for them to play Grazing in the Grass by the South African legend Hugh Masekela as Trevor walked out ☺ I love that!
Had to go back and listen, thanks to your comment. I would not have caught that, thank you!
Such a nice touch, was thinking the same thing
YES! He can sing the 'click' song for you too, because his mother and grandmother are Xhosa.
This interview made me realize how much I miss Trevor Noah. What a gift he is! I was going to say we take him for granted but apparently he just won an Emmy.
He is a race hustler that spews anti white hate instead of blaming black criminals for the horrific crimes happening daily in society
He's career progression is one for the books. So proud of Trevor
The South African and New Zealand national anthems are also really beautiful and worth listening to. Both are multi-lingual anthems. In terms of the flag and patriotism I think that patriotism can easily be a gateway drug to nationalism. Patriotism on it's own is not bad but it is becoming a tool to isolate nations and create "them and us" mindsets. Someone who is patriotic and well travelled is usually very understanding of other nations and feels a bond to other countries. Someone who is patriotic and has not travelled at all is often very narrow minded and not really someone with a good understanding of other people that share the world with them but are different to them.
Nkosi Sikelele has to be the one that makes me cry. Because the first time I saw it play as an anthem and not a protest song, i was a teenager watching Nelson Mandela take power. The most unfathomable feeling.
They also have very similar meanings
its also essential to binding a nation together. things like giving back to a nation is only really possible when backed by sometimes irrational emotions like patriotism. i also think the idea its a gateway drug is a very university-educated perspective. we can't trust the masses. lets guide them. i think they are capable of thinking for themselves.
If Trevor thinks all anthems are about how beautiful the country is, he should listen to the French one. It's literally describing a bloodbath ! To be fair, it dates back to the French revolution, which were violent times.
But it always feels weird to hear it sung by football/soccer players before a match. Like... do you intend to murder the other team and decapitate them ?! 😅
funny thing is that now we have a "them vs us" mentality in our own countries... Now isn't that great?
Miss his monologues so much!!!
I love this. This is not an interview. Just two friends having a convo. 😄😆💕💕
It felt super awkward, like Colbert trying to one up noah and interrupting him and have the last laugh, even trying to break down his metaphors and make Noah's story and jokes look stupid and Colbert's look better.
It's almost as if Colbert felt threatened that if his jokes were better, then maybe Noah would also take over as hidt instead if Colbert.
Too much awkwardness and tension. Didn't feel like old friends at all to me. I don't think they get along or like each other much.
I absolutely love when comedians from other lands share their perspectives on America. Especially Trevor and Oliver, our WEIRDNESS takes on a whole new level 😂😂😂😂
I've been an American for 45 years born and raised but I can understand why people hate us the ignorant arrogance from the majority of Americans tops my list, trump is an example of this.
Alexis de tocqueville was killing it on his last tour of the States
@@pipedown1246 I left the US when I turned 45. 5th generation american. absolutely zero regrets. The US has a hugely overinflated sense of how good it is to live there.
@@thomasneal9291 Out of curiosity, where do you live now?
The US does but these comedians also signify what America exactly represents. People with average talent and hard work can a big career for themselves that they wouldn’t have had in any other country probably.
I'm crying both because Trevor is so funny & I miss him on the Daily Show so much. 😂

Being able to say bitch after every line of our national anthem is the funniest realization I’ve had this year. Good to see Trevor again
He said it was the only national Anthem that was "gangsta".
@@MsWarriordiva I mean... The US does act like a gangster on the international stage... Sometimes that can have good effects, like defending Ukraine, but most of the time not so much.
@@arlom5132Even when it comes to defending Ukraine, the U.S. does it because it benefits them (they don’t want Russia to overtake the American position as the world’s leading superpower, especially from a military standpoint). I remember when there was a genocide in Rwanda in 1994, President Bill Clinton opted to keep the U.S. out of it. His government had nothing to gain from protecting those unfortunate Tutsis who lost their lives gratuitously.
arlom was talking about 'good effects' not motives...
@@PatrickEvina4891
You guys know nothing of the National Anthem. The original is a slave slogan!!!
You people are so daft!!!
As somebody who isn’t americanI would have never known about the daily show if it wasn’t for Trevor
I love his interviews so much. I haven't kept up with his specials yet and need to, but hearing him just talk like this was always my favorite. So insightful.
He also started his own podcast which has conversations kind of like this! It's called What now? With Trevor Noah 🤗🫶🏽
So lovely seeing and hearing Trevor again, the Internet misses him and his astute insights. However, as a women with dual citizenship (French and American), I must say : have you heard the lyrics of the French anthem ? It's a revolutionary song about toppling down tyranny that literally says that we'll soak the fields with our ennemies' blood.
That's what I said!! 😂😂😂 y'all are badass!
Vive la Marseilles. All 15 verses!!
That was exactly where my mind went.
Allons enfants de ma patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivèe, bitch!
Yes, that works!
And I'm not surprised. Who was it that helped the Americans out against the English? Of course both have gangster anthems. They toppled one of the greatest world powers at the time. They're kinda like America's older brother.
Trevor never lose his SA accent❤
Our national anthem being "foreshadowing" of bombing other countries is hilarious. I still have a few personal issues with the history of the anthem, but this was such a great interview.
EDIT: I don't like nor approve of the senseless bombing of other countries from our country. I often detest things occurring in the USA and choices being made. It's funny to me in the way dark humor is funny. It's the realization being made of it being in our anthem and the correlation to the fact that we actually do that.
double consciousness. I definitely love our country and how our audacity is in our veins but yeah.....
But he was wrong about us being the only one with strong word in their anthem, the french one is defenitly not about our landscape
Can't say I love it. Especially after learning the history & reading the other verses that are never sung.
The lyrics hit different if you imagine it playing during shock and awe
'the rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there'
Like yeah Saddam just try to stop it
Actually I love our national anthem, I’ve read all the verses and well they speak truth. The history of it talks of how difficult war is on everyone but we stand strong. I love the song and the history
#4! A nice solid number. And Thanks Trevor for all the amazing work that you’ve done.
4 is truly one of the numbers of all time
Mmm hmm
Love that Trevor gives good hugs ❤
Most Americans I talked to that spend quite some time in Europe say that the mayor difference is the almost total absence of fear in Europeans. And because hate is just a symptom of fear... you figure out the rest.
Really? Such a nirvana Europe is? Do your homework. Homily as garbage. Or they may not fear as much but there is a whole lot of hate bubbling under the surface pal. I just can't stand garbage cutesy homilies- as if we can all learn from your unmitigated genius.
But they can't figure it out on their own. Create a closed circuit in any group and you will eventually get them all to repeat the same message. No human should live in an imprisonment of the mind, imposed by greedy dictators who think their will is supreme. How have we not risen above this as a species?
Unfortunately, fear is coming back in European countries as we import all of American habits and culture, thus the rise of hate and its political parties everywhere 😢
@@goldflo91yep, in Germany where I'm living the populist far right AfD are surging in popularity all of a sudden after years of being insignificant. Scary times here ahead since fascism is becoming renormalised
interestingly, my former US American colleague said the same thing... which is why he wont return to the US.
I enjoy it every time when Trevor is on the show.
Trevor's intelligence never ceases to amaze me. He's so great ❤
Welcoming him with Hugh Masekela’s Grazing in the grass was elite from the band👌🏽
Absolute gold. You know your SA jazz.
I was searching for your comment. Great song from Bra Hugh

Thank you for sharing your time with us here, sirs. Good on you, Stephen for sharing this world treasure with us.
This Proves a few things , Trevor is a forward kinda guy, always doing , moving , nothing holds him back, and humor he adds to every story he tells and listening to his Podcast, I just love it! Always learning from it, Trevor's articulation on most subjects is thoughtful... 🇿🇦🇿🇦. Proudly So !
Adore him. His style of Humour. His Gorgeous Pronunciation of English. I like that he say's YES instead of Yaaa!
❤😂😅You know he was inwardly cringing at the "don't go nowhere" comment.
I need a hug from Trevor Noah. ❤❤❤❤
The full, strong and true embraces are the best! I need this type of hug…it’s been too long. Where are the quality/Big-shouldered/men of heart and character who give hugs at?
Me too! ❤
I love Trevor!! So talented
Never imagined that a Hugh Masekela classic would be played as an intro on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show❤🇿🇦
The thing Trevor said about his American friends running into international trouble is so on point, too.
When I worked in South Korea and things were getting dicey around 2017-2018, my other nationality coworkers asked me, "If you hear anything from your government, could you let us know?" Like if the US was going to do evacuations or something, they asked for a heads up, because they wouldn't know otherwise. 🥲
America has problems, but just for that reason, I'm happy to be a US citizen.
The problems of the USA endanger world peace mate. If you vote for the orange man, we will all suffer from his stupidity
As a german i know that feeling 😅 its crazy in how many countries i could just walk into and out of without anyone asking
because usa is the one who start it first.
Ironically, Korea has a much better heads up for Koreans abroad. Same for Germans and other Europeans, but US citizenship is good, too.
Didn't work out for Khashoggi. But that was Traitor to be Trump and the Saudi 'prince?' Now he threatens all of us Ameicans in our own country. Time to sing him our not a dictatorship anthem: "And our flag is still here, bich."
These two together is an absolute delight
Shout out to the band!!!
GREAT that they intro'd Trevor with Hugh Masekela's "Grazin' in the Grass". Love. It!!!!
The comment I came to see.
I appreciated that
The American anthem talks about the flag surviving bombs, so it's a bit sassy and emphasizes strength of perseverance. The French anthem literally talks about blood and violence (cutting throats) their citizens will wage against tyranny, so it's a bit intimidating; more of a warning in the form of a sentence. Meanwhile, the UK's closest thing to an anthem talks about well wishes for their monarch.
The Jamaican anthem is the best 🇯🇲❤
The Austrian anthem describes our scenery in slow motion. It's the opposite of catchy, and hardly anyone knows the words. People usually sing the first half of the first verse and the second half of the third, and nobody ever remembers the second verse.
Finland's was written before independenve and contains on equal measure longing for own country, war and battles and how beautiful the country is.
I think anthem can tell quite a lot of the country. Ours somehow manages to condense our history to 11 verses although usually only two are sung.
Have you heard South African anthem
The most beautiful anthem in the world and I'm not joking. (I'm Nigerian by the way)@@pastorkmonyisi1742
Damn, I miss seeing Trevor host every night on The Daily Show. Happy that he's doing cool stuff away from the late night desk
As a non-American, Star Spangled Banner does hit different. However, I would like to say the Filipino national anthem does say, "Never shall invaders trample our sacred shore," and our anthem badass too.
Oh dang that's phenomenal!
the whole anthem? because...
Ooo! That kind of hit me in the feels. I like the that. Respect. Plus, knowing a little bit of your nation's history (as an outsider), I felt that! I pray that's true forever.
Kudos to the post who wrote that.
"Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine" - we have this line in Ukrainian anthem.
National Anthem that created during war time are pretty badass. Our Vietnamese Anthem is technically being written as a marching song to the battlefield. There's a verse in there goes:
"Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of our country
The distant rumbling of the guns mingles with our marching song.
The path to glory passes over the bodies of our foes."
Oh, he can hug me!! He is an adorable man who is experiencing an
enormous life!! Bless him!! 🙏🙏
I love trevor love his mind and the way he speaks...proud of you son of the soil all the way from SA
That was a great move from "it's weird" to "it's the greatest anthem in the world". Nicely played, Trevor!
4:00 THANK YOU!!! That was one of the biggest culture shocks for me. Anthem, flags and pledge everywhere.
I was born here, and I still think it's weird...
Exactly, and their whole "support our troops" thing. Can't get used to it.
North Korea can relate
The complete National Anthem is a pro slave declaration!!
I lived there around 9/11...:that's when they ramped up in the area I lived.
I love hearing Trevor talk 😊
I actually like South Africa's national anthem it's multilingual and respect the original peoples of that land.

One of the smartest and wittiest people on TV. I used his interviews for my English classes. Love from Germany
Just a decent guy. Down to earth and genuine
In Colombia, the national anthem is played on the radio nationally everyday at 6am and 6pm. Love you Trevor, you're so insightful. :)
