'The Daily Show' host Trevor Noah says he calls Will Smith all the time

comedian, writer and

host

of The Daily Show, has a new stand-up special on Netflix called Sun and Patricia, look, this should be a rule in America, they should say you can hate immigrants all you want, but if you do I can't eat their food yeah that's a fact that changed for me and when I said no immigrant food I mean no immigrant food nothing no Mexican food no Caribbean food no Dominican food no Asian food nothing just potatoes oh it's great, it's great to see you yeah, it's really fun to be here, how is everyone doing this?

What's nice about everyone's Thanksgiving is that there's something that keeps doing it. I don't know when it ends and when it begins. 12:01 becomes Christmas. I see Friday morning. I see. because I would like people to like it to be Thanksgiving and then Thanksgiving weekend and then it's more Thanksgiving and people Shamy anyone as a basis of Thanksgiving, Well, just don't eat anything, give me food right now, even though you'll get sick, okay, yeah. Once the food is spoiled, it's

time

to move on to Christmas. I think the holidays are absolutely defined by the food. Once the food is gone, we move on.

Yes, we're just going to eat potatoes. Amen, we have to congratulate Patricia's son. Thank you. You have this Obama story, right? I think I think you were embarrassed, yeah, I mean, he was a bear, he was really embarrassing, but you know? I met President Obama at the White House and it was one of the most incredible experiences, but just like us. get there and you know what happens when you meet people who are more than famous, like there are some people where you just miss what your brain is supposed to do, so the mouth of the brain nothing connects, nothing works like when he came in.

I was like in my head I was like oh yeah, but you know, President Obama is going to come in and I'm going to tell him this. I'll make a joke about Africa, Africa, Army, Africa, ham, Africa, you know, and then he came in and he would like our Trevor and I thought I didn't know what to say, we had a good

time

, we had this interview and I tell the story and the special about how the worst part was just a moment where my brain froze because he asked me about this event and he was like Trevor, you know I'm doing a little thing for my AIDS and I hope you're there and I said, hey , you have AIDS and he said, well, me. m in and he said what and I said no what you and then heat and then and they explained to me and I mean, now it's obvious, don't get me wrong, it's obvious now, but it completely baffled me that we don't say that where I'm from we don't have as you know what's going on ah let me introduce you to my help that's not a thing in Africa and I understand it now I totally understand it but it was like one of the craziest moments I had with the president but he was nice to him, he laughed at me, no He insulted me, I was just like, now I know what it means is the people who helped me.

I said: no, no, I knew I do our thing. What's really fun about the special is that I share some of life's anecdotes, people I've met, stories of places I've traveled and just my thoughts about the world and what's going on. I heard that the first time too. Have you ever had a taco, was it here in America, yes that was true, people are surprised, but you take for granted the fact that like many things, they don't exist in other parts of the world, so growing up in South Africa, there were no Mexicans. food, we don't have Mexicans, they never came, it's not my fault, but I thought there were certain things we didn't see when I came to the US.

I was very lucky to stay with my best friend, a guy named David Meyer. and I was living with him in Pasadena and one day he said to me, "Hey, Trevor, you want to eat, you want to eat tacos." I was like dude, I don't know, I don't know what that is and he's like, "You never." He ate tacos and his jaw dropped and I thought, why would he eat tacos?, man. I thought: have you ever had a goat head? and he asked me: why would I have a goat's head? tacos well, we have something different than goat's head, it's not exactly the same as where I'm from.

I've eaten a lot of goat heads, we could have Smiley's and the reason we call them that is because when you eat the head it's like any other. part of the animal but when you eat it when you're done, it

will

look like it's smiling at you on the plate, you say taco, then our internship tells me that the Internet is a quad, you've been amazing, sequins, thank you very much. What kind of tacos are these? Does not know. It's a recipe for disaster, but yeah, okay, thank you, thank you, thank you. He's by far the best intern we've ever had, but I have a question about comfort food.

Did you have a favorite American restaurant chain? Do I have an American Rubel chain? I've been to Taco Bell Taco Bell is interesting because you can buy a ton of food for no money. It's something very strange. No, you know what you know, right? because in South Africa, in general, takeout is relatively expensive, it's like a gift, so where I'm from it's easier to buy food to cook at home, vegetables and everything, and then in the United States it's the other way around, so making it cheaper for people to go buy takeout. So I remember the first time I wanted to talk to some friends.

I was actually on a comedy tour with Gabriel Iglesias, yeah, and we went to Taco Bell and then he was like, "What we're going to spend." $100 and I was like, oh, that's for a formal banquet, yeah, and they came and we looked like that scene in Pretty Woman where you come out with all the plastic bags, like how much food is that and then he was like, oh, here this. like fifty dollars in change and I was like what is it and I've never seen so much food for so little money in my life so yeah but I don't know what a favorite chain is to be honest I try to eat healthy.

On the way I try to escape all that because I ate too much takeout when I first came to the United States and then the thing about Americans is that you are very polite, you don't tell someone when you've been very close, which They understand and but Africans don't play that game, so I came home and immediately when I got home, my mom told me: "You're fat, so yeah, so I try to eat healthy on the road, that's what I try and do where you know what's working." I'm ready for you man, you look good. I'm trying.

You've been staying there for three years now. It's been three years now. I am flying. Time flies at the same time. It feels like nothing has changed. It's like it's an ingenuity. Yes. It's like. a weird time bubble that we've been in with the news where it feels like we're constantly tossed around in a time news bubble, so you know, I remember when I started The Daily Show, people like you know that the news goes and they come. in waves and in my opinion it's like no, this salary is not going to end, it's nothing at all and you're traveling on the highway right now, but when you organize your own so you can hang out and meet a lot of interesting celebrities.

So, are there any celebrities you're dating now that would surprise you? You never imagined you would do it. It's really cool to double your fan. I guess I feel like I would. I would have to say the only person for me. I know Michael was one of those people where you would just invite me to things, but on my phone he was very proper, so you can imagine Michael Strand comes on the

show

and I say he's Michael Strahan. I'm like this is crazy. I'm like, okay, the legend, I see the person, the football, okay, this is great and it's cool and you're like, oh yeah, we should hang out sometime and I'm like, yeah, that's what everyone

says

, Alright. everyone

says

"let's go out sometime" no one wants to say "let's go out sometime" if someone says "let's go out sometime" that means "nice to meet you" "I never want to see you again" that's what it universally means we get it right and Michael says we should hang out sometime, I thought, yeah, we should hang out sometime and then a few days later he texts me and says, “What are you doing tonight? " Who is it?

Michael Strahan. What are you doing? Are you hanging out? We should go have a drink. We should be at home like he was my cousin. Hi Michael, how are you? Michael. I was like it wasn't January. He's like one of the kindest human beings. Have you ever met you know like you've been amazing Will Smith has been someone who has become a friend and a mentor in life do you know someone who I mean, it's really I grew up watching him and loving him and now I'm like Will Smith no, sometimes I look at my phone.

It would be like Will Smith. I would be sure that I have nothing to call him. I should just call him back. Hey, just take a guy. Yes you're right. Bye bye. On this you do everything that we have recited many of those things. I had no idea you also dance so before the Daily Show I don't think that's true. I think it might be Oh, your big

show

called Strictly Come Dancing, fake news which is I don't even know how you manipulated that footage that looks like me and like a Dancing with the Stars show and I don't know how it's possible, we're like that, we should, where did you find this, but we?

I have to say we found it, yeah, it's not like we just showed those clips and okay, Travis, you were a finalist. I was good, you know what you know, it's like ballroom dancing is one of those things where you're initially hesitant and then you get into it and then the competitive spirit takes over, yeah, yeah, and you probably know what I'm about speaking, no, the thing is that at first I thought: "wow, it slipped out like a kitten heel and I ran away from the spandex and everything and then I was left with nothing." Like you know what I'm going to do this week and then I'm going to leave and then they're like, "See, you're going to lose, it's like, what do you mean what I'm going to do?

I'm going to lose." I do not want to lose. I thought I was going to win. They like the new shape, more spandex. Oh yeah, but I'll be a winner in spandex. That is. Dance every week before we leave. I have to say, you wrote a best-selling, boring, cried, mave book, and it's kind of amazing. If you haven't had a chance to read it, be sure to pick it up and watch. Peter, a young girl, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o

will

play your mom. Can? Imagine the movie, yes, that has pizza. I will never forget the story.

I will die without pizza. I was on the sets of Black Panther. She was reading my book, which she didn't even know she had, and then she

calls

me and says. Hello Trevor, it's new pizza and I said: Hello Lupita, how are you? And she says I want to be your mom. I said, I'm sorry, and she said, Oh, I'm sorry. I just read your book. I love your mom. I want to be your mom. in the movie and I said, but there's no movie, she says now there's oh wow and she says we should make this happen and I said, yeah, make this happen and then and then we just made it happen, new Peter. appeared as a producer and she said, "You know we're going to play your mom and we're going to turn this into a story," so we sat down and created this amazing story about me and my mom growing up in South Africa and who Peters, a woman fantastic African, my mom is a fantastic African woman.

I couldn't think of a better person to play her and I saw her dressed as a black panther and she was spanking my butt and I thought, that's how my moms do my butt, right? now and of course be sure to watch the
