Roy Wood Jr. Asks: How Racist Is Boston? (Video)
HA! Of all people to send to ask the question. Roy does know his racism (talking about it in his stand-ups, esp. his experiences coming up in Alabama). Let’s see what he finds out.
Roy Wood Jr. visits Boston to find out why it has a reputation as one of the most racist cities in America.

Anderson .Paak – “Anywhere” (Live Performance) [Video]
If you saw ‘The Daily Show’ with .Paak on it you will get why Trevor Noah was speechless. Ha! But this performance was dope on that level regardless.
(The crowd certainly was not ‘speechless.’)
Candidate Stacey Abrams Speaks On Her Historic Campaign To Become Governor Of Georgia (Video)
If you have done so already, thank you. But now, and in the future, I gotta keep screaming, “VOTE DAMMIT!” Because it is so important. So beyond the “your ancestors fought and died for the rights you enjoy and have a duty to maintain and fight for” rhetoric. Get in that booth and get into true governance of these United States if you are a citizen. Nothing wrong with ‘making America great’ but if you don’t VOTE then the how, who, and what of that will be determined by those who do and who they elect. Point. Blank. Period.
That said, here’s a lady who wants every Georgia voter to check her box at the polls…
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams discusses her passion for criminal justice reform and her effort to get more people of color registered to vote.

Candidate Andrew Gillum Speaks On Race In The Race To Be Florida’s Governor And In Politics As Usual (Video)
Wow. My elders and peers used to always say, “A hit dog’ll holler,” too!
Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum lays out the role of race in the Florida governor’s race, his plan to help all Floridians and how he’d handle Republican opposition if elected.
– The Daily Show With Trevor Noah
Felt compelled to post something political, progressive, and positive with the big mid-terms coming up. President Obama was stumping for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams AND for this candidate in Florida’s race, Andrew Gillum.

Trevor Noah Declares Trump’s Creation Of ‘Caravan Hysteria’ To Wield As A Weapon Ahead Of Midterm Elections (Video)
Hey, Fox News. Hey President Trump. Those thousands of people you are stoking fear about are NOT an invasion. They are coming to apply for asylum, as is their legal right and the expectation the U.S. has set worldwide for the “tired… poor… huddled masses, yearning to breathe free.” You know, that part!
You are NOT fooling me. You are NOT fooling thoughtful people who will go to the polls next Tuesday (and even now, with early voting) and letting you and your ilk know that we are not your ‘fools.’ #TurnOffFoxNews #TuneOutTrump #VoteThemAllOutTuesday
As the midterm elections near, Trump and Fox News dial up the migrant caravan hysteria as the administration orders 5,200 active duty troops to the southern border to stop a non-threat.

And that closing with Shepard Smith (longtime Fox News reporter, by the way) was a perfect ‘Moment Of Zen’ way to close this ‘The Daily Show’ (live from Miami) clip.

Trevor Noah Speaks On GOP Voter Suppression & The Mid-Term Elections In Georgia (Video)
Yeah, Trevor. Good point: Funny how EVERY time we catch ‘them’ in a move to pass a law to restrict voting, it ALWAYS affects people of color DISPROPORTIONATELY! And by ‘funny’ I don’t mean… well, I am NOT laughing.
Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate for governor of Georgia, has made efforts to hold up 53,000 voter registrations, 70% of which belong to Black voters, all while maintaining his job as Georgia Secretary of State, a role in which he oversees the very election he’s running in. This is some Africa-level s**t.

Trevor Talks French And French Fries With A Couple In The Audience (Video)
I’ve known, but never really thought through, how ‘borrowed’ American English is as a language. Trevor broke down a few French phrases we’ve co-opted as part of everyday speech in the states.
Trevor muses on French words, fries and rap with a French couple in the audience.

(Real French. Not cuss words. Haha!)

Trevor Noah Explains: 9-1-1 Is Very Different In South Africa (Video)
Trevor has his audience tripping and chuckling about just how different South African 9-1-1 operators operate in an “emergency.†Everything ain’t an emergency, lady. Go talk to those Black people barbecuing, ask what they are doing, THEN we will talk about sending someone.
(Funny, but it makes sense!)

Trevor Noah Talks With A Guest Who Gets ‘Post-Checked’ By TSA Even After He ‘Pre-Checks’ (Video)
‘Between the Scenes’ clips from The Daily Show are funny most times, but I always get some insight from watching them. I mean, sure this man’s name will trigger the authorities’ suspicions… but c’mon son.
Trevor chats with an audience member who had to change his name after 9/11.
At least we can kinda laugh at it.

Trevor Noah Tells ‘The Daily Show’ Audience How Pusha T & Drake Are Beefing On A New Level (Video)
Trevor said Robert Mueller needs Pusha T’s investigators on his team for the White House probe, the way Push got after Drake in that last diss track. Daaaayum! Bwaaahaaa!

Trevor Noah Suggests That Making A Frivolous 9-1-1 Call Should Cost The Caller Dearly (Video)
Hahaaa! Y’all are some SAVAGES for these memes I’ve been seeing on the extra-dry-snitching lady who called the cops on charcoal-burning brothers & sisters at the park. Keeping me in chuckle tears! And Trevor is in on the joking, too, but he has an idea that might result in good coming from the lessons learned from this ‘girl who cried Black’…
Trevor proposes an idea to stop non-emergency 9-1-1 calls in the wake of a White woman calling the police on a group of people for barbecuing while Black.

Trevor Speaks On A South African Getting Jailed for Being Racist (Video)
Spoiler alert: She’s White.
File this under “she didn’t know when to shet tf up” (yes, I meant ‘shet’… not ‘shut’). Admittedly, it would be a bit extreme to lock up an American citizen for a tirade, even one laced with words of hate. But Trevor has a point about it not being hard to not get locked up in this case: “Just don’t be racist.”

How To Get Gun Control Legislation Passed NOW (Video)
Okay, so you see Trevor Noah with Neal Brennan at The Daily Show desk on COMEDY Central. So, it is okay – even expected – for you to laugh. But dude’s idea is brilliant, and it actually worked… back in the ’60s. Score one for #BlackPanther for real #AmericanSymbolsMatter
The ‘solution’ to which Neal referred above is presented in the clip embedded after the jump. Scenes from that earlier ‘Panther’ movie. All Power To The People #Forever
Tiffany Haddish Tells Trevor Noah How ‘Roscoe’ Won Her Heart (Video)
And there we have it! ‘Roscoe’ kept wooing his beautiful coworker-at-the-time Tiffany Haddish, caught her on the rebound after a bad breakup, took her to his ‘X-Men Mansion’ and spit the shutdown game through teary eyes… And. Got. Them. DRAWS!!
YOOOO! You MUST watch this clip! Hilarious!!

‘The Daily Show’ Special Report: White People Can Subscribe To ‘Safety Pin Box’ And Get Woke (Video)
A hundred dollars, and she would pay $150 without flinching, to subscribe and get woke. Yeah, worth typing up twice. And this video will have you watching twice. Enough chuckles, courtesy Roy Wood Jr. Funny, with some good points tossed in for flavor.

Politics/Comedy: Clapping Back For Jemele Hill, Roy Wood Jr. Has Jokes (And Ideas) For The White House And ESPN (Video)
Roy Wood, Jr. You, sir, are a FOOL for this one. But so on point. Great segment, and an instant classic clip for ‘The Daily Show.’
Roy Wood, Jr. unpacks a White House official’s call for ESPN to fire anchor Jemele Hill after she called President Trump a white supremacist on Twitter.
I bet Jamele is cool people, even if she did straight diss the beloved ‘Awful Waffle’ (ahaahahaaa)!

Neil deGrasse Tyson With Some “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry” And A Word For Climate Science Deniers (Video)
Great talk. Plus: Neil deGrasse Tyson with the booooom statement of, like, the decade or something! To all the climate change deniers: How was it that we made all kinds of plans, and reacted with all kinds and fervor and enthusiasm, to the Eclipse [Across America] – a phenomenon predicted by science – but NOT even flinch or flitter at the very real, very scientifically-founded warnings of pending planet-wide doom due to climate change (global warming, whatever you wanna call it)? Is it because beach chairs will become useless for the beachfront after the ocean level rises? Maybe because you’ll need good galoshes to go anywhere downtown in NYC? C’mon son!
Neil deGrasse Tyson weighs in on why climate change is subject to political debate and examines the privilege of wondering about space in “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.”
– Comedy Central
Okay, they are probably not reading this post or watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central… So if you know a denier, please share this.
(Or share with the like-minded. I don’t mind having an ‘amen corner’ on this.)

Hasan Minhaj (Of The Daily Show) Gives An Roast Epic Speech At The White House Correspondents’ Dinner (Video)
Ohhhhhh shhhheeeeeeeiiiit! I wanted to categorize this as comedy, but this is more. This is even more biting than mere satire; plenty of BITE. Don Rickles (RIP) level roasting of an entire room AND of The President… you know, at the WHITE HOUSE Correspondents’ event that they have EVERY year.
Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj took full advantage of Donald Trump’s absence by taking aim at The President and his administration during his monologue at the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
– Global News
I’m sure it was on his calendar. But hell, I cannot blame him. Some of this sh!t BURNED, but it seems like everyone took it in stride. And I do mean everyone, because ‘The Daily Show’ Correspondent Hasan Minhaj gave a taste to EVERYONE: Not just the POTUS, but key officials in his Administration, with shots for Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, even C-SPAN (who broadcasts the event annually)!
You HAVE to watch, but strap up and sack up. Hasan is hella funny, but his speech hits hella HARD! Whew.

Trevor Noah On Bill O’Reilly Getting Fired From Fox News (Video)
Comedy Central’s ‘Fake News’ with some real talk on the now former head of the real news fakers. Yeah, marinate on that as you watch this. Plus, remember a few days back, in that interview during which Ludacris mentioned ‘troubles’ that Bill O’Reilly was going through? Well, not to pile on, but…
Trevor celebrates Bill O’Reilly’s ouster at Fox News by looking back at some of “The O’Reilly Factor” host’s most racist moments.
– The Daily Show
Technically, this is likely the start of the end of all the hubbub for Bill. Career-wise, at least.
