As His Life Flashed Before His Eyes, Trevor Noah Remembered The Most Random Things

this man over there, you know him, he's the host of this year's Grammys, Trevor Noah, I'm glad to have you here, you know physically, oh boy, because there's been some danger in your past, oh boy, that you recently took. What did you do? When did you do this? So this was during the December holidays. Oh, so you leave the show and say, "You know what I'm going to get out of this country." You're going to Costa Rica. If that is. that's my annual trip, so everyone, I've been lucky enough to have the same group of friends in what are now 14 15 years from South Africa, we all started our careers together, different paths, different journeys, but every year we make sure than going on a trip with a friend no matter where it is sometimes South Africa sometimes you know it could be California this time it was Costa Rica we do something we don't really want to do for the experience you have to like I force everyone not to do it I don't want to do or like, ah, that scares me or something, yeah, so I don't want to do, so people say, I don't know if we want to do that.

I think that's why we should do it and so on. year I chose whitewater rafting, okay, this is in Costa Rica, yes, it looks like a pretty vigorous river, it's fantastic, okay, so it's fantastic, here you are, yes, about to go over the falls and that's it, there There's you, that's me, right? for you lying down, so not paddling, so just so people understand like the guide, no, no, you're not supposed to be at these points where you pedal at the points where you don't have to listen to the guide who's back at the right, yes. our boy, Chico, was telling us that it's like boys, they're going to be rowing when I say stop, stop, give the orders when I say battle, battle, go well, so I'm listening all the time like, stop, stop , to see.

Got it, that's what I'm doing, yeah, right, and then he says, we're going into a quick, it's going to be great. I was like, "Okay, we're ready for it." The rapids are great. The rapids are great. You go through some. You say this is easy. this is fun and then it's not, we'll take you through the process right here, so this is Joy, this is Joy, this is me realizing that oh, this is what I always wanted to do, this is fun, this is well then. So it's not me anymore, it's actually my friend Anele and she has turned upside down, as you can see, you have to admit it's a pretty amazing picture, let's just leave your shoes, yeah, it sure is a wonderful picture to look at .

Yes, but when you're in it it's great because you don't know it's happened and you've still rafted. Yes, have you ever gotten off the boat? uh no, my mom got off the boat. Oh wow, that was shocking. The photo of me at that moment is that we are all together in the boat at the top of the Rapids and then halfway over the Rapids, only I go and my mom went here, yes, because you don't. I don't know, that's the crazy thing about this whole thing is you don't know and the next thing you know there's no boat below you, the water is above you, the ship is above you and then you're like, "Oh , I don't know".

I don't think I'm in a boat anymore, but you still have your oar and this and this already happened when you realized what happened, yeah, so that's the face when I realize that maybe I don't have anything more to give you the full context. I was having a good time until one of my closest friends decided to throw me in the water to try to get up, which I understand is common. This is a common thing that happens if you look, you look happy. Thank you so much. and you said that river rafting is this experience is a metaphor for

life

, I really think so.

I think in

life

you know that you are, you are in a river, you can't control what the river is going to be. There will be times when everything will be beautiful and calm, there will be times when there will be rapids that will shake you, you don't know what your life will be like, what you can control is the people you are on the boat with and so I'm glad I chosen those people for my life for that boat trip for that trip. It was knowing that one of them will try to drown you to get out of the river.

I even try to dramatize, try to save myself and in the process. he knocked me down i wasn't trying to drown you i didn't really care if you lived my life happened before my

eyes

you know what no one tells you in your life happens before your

eyes

is that you also remember

random

things

everyone thinks it's going to be like oh when you were born i I was like ah that's where I left that controller like

random

things

like that pop into your head yeah there it is that's exactly right so you're back on track. on a comedy tour, okay, well how come you can now go out and live the life on the road that you did for many years?

It's a lot of fun for you, do you enjoy it? I love it, I love it, I miss it, I miss it. meeting people in person I'm just meeting people where they are, you know, what I loved about The Daily Show was that I was in a world where I was consuming the news constantly, the only thing I didn't enjoy was that the news was often defined by a place, A lot of times it would be the coast or where the news organizations are, but you wouldn't have a real idea of ​​what people are experiencing and so what I love about doing stand-up is that I can bridge the gap between what I think I know. about a place and its people and what people really think about the place and the people that are there, so you know, I have ideas about Georgia, but then I can go do shows in Georgia. and I can meet Georgians and I can talk to them and I go to Edina and I go to cafes and I go to restaurants you know the same thing in India.

I have ideas about India but then I go to India and I think about every time. Time refines me, changes my point of view, you know, removes some of my prejudices, removes just some of the ignorance that we all have about places we don't know, so I love that part of the trip. and then on Monday I don't have to worry about whether it's George Santos it's just that his name is sometimes that's sometimes his name I agree about going on tour meeting people is the best it's incredible it really is that we have to go here we have a last question for you, we talked about this a couple of years ago when you're here because you play Shuri's AI griot bot, yeah in the Black Panther Universe okay, and I had forgotten about this and I had some of the I issued and I wanted to go see him recently and I asked why that voice is so familiar because

most

of the eye of that and I said, that's Trevor, yeah, that's Trevor, it was like I looked it up, I said, oh yeah, I forgot.

It's but I have unfinished business with you, okay, go, okay, it's like they attacked you. Shuri's on the ropes and you're saying I'm working on it like it's a Grio emergency, please, it sounds like you don't care what's going on. these people you see, I hear what you're saying Stephen and I think that's the kind of voice I don't want to hear from you you see Stephen as an AI, what I try and do is take on the role of what I am what I'm playing I'm an actor at the time Stephen oh, and now imagine if you were talking to your AI, imagine if you opened up one of your devices and you told your AI you would say uh call 9-1-1 and Siri was like she literally had to. cancel you Siri Siri was calling 9-1-1 and then she heard me scream now someone's on their way exactly on their way here right now you can watch Trevor hosting the Grammy on February 5th on CBS, I'm Trevor Noah, anyone who remembers him , we will be back right away with the star of everything, we are all at the same time, Stephanie's shoes stay, thank you.
