Trevor Noah: The 60 Minutes Interview

"Which side you're looking at the line from determines whether or not you think he crossed it." He gets me thinking in unexpected directions. I love that.

What make Trevor so amazing is not his jokes, but how smart and clever he is.

I love how he explained how "poverty" is perceived by those who grow up with it - brilliant

He knows how to respond when they try to push a certain narrative, brilliant.

My 87 year old white mother who grew up in the 40's/50's racist, segregationist South (Dothan, Alabama in Houston County the poorest county in Alabama) read his book and she said she cried all the way through and that it affected her views on race deeply. This is his superpower to speak to people outside his wheelhouse and to change hearts.

Trevor Noah's response to whether Dave Chappelle crossed a line was just great

We are so proud of Trevor in South Africa , he is a wise guy and makes friends easily , from Presidents to the homeless , he brings smiles to many . Thank you Trevor for showing the Americans that values are worth more than money

I just love how he explains concepts that someone usually cannot understand unless they've experienced it themselves. Things like racism, antisemitism and depression are very hard to truly put in words to explain the full magnitude of what that feels like and Noah does excellent job in selecting the perfect words to communicate the main idea and he does it in the most respectful and elegant way.
I truly think Noah is one of the chosen people of our time to shine light on what is important to the human kind. They say each generation or rather full life of someone on average 65-75 yrs ,there will be one or two special people who will nudge the world into awareness and hopefully equilibrium

the way he linked depression and ADHD was absolutely brilliant and made me tear up because I felt so seen. I’ve really been struggling with this feeling of overwhelm lately and it’s nice to know someone else (especially someone so successful!) feels this way and can deal with it.

Trevor is amazing person

“How do I talk to someone who hates me?”
-Trevor Noah
It’s a question no one should have to ask or answer; yet the fact that he posed it that way illustrates his brilliance and wit. Big ups to Trevor👏🏾

I fell in love with Trevor after reading his book. He’s such an amazing, unbias human being. We need more people like that in this world.

I LOVE how he answered the "did he cross the line" question. Our society is utterly addicted to duality. Duality almost never helps anything. And it slays nuance instantaneously.

Thank you Trevor for explaining the ADHD link to depression and setting aside self care which leads to filing overwhelmed and then a sense of depression. Excellent excellent.!!!

No doubt that Trevor is super smart. He's always prepared for literally everything that you throw at him. he's simply a genius

It's easy to love him because he is so genuine. He may feel that he doesn't belong, but he does - he belongs in this world because he makes it a much more bearable place for everyone else who feels that they don't belong.

I think that it's significant that Trevor Noah says that he first experienced racial hatred in America - even though he grew up in apartheid South Africa.

Time and Time again, so impressed with his brain, the way he thinks, the way he articulates his thoughts.

“Society is seeing the line from two different lines” brilliant ❤

i absolutely adore this man. there’s a video he posted awhile back of when he went to visit is grandma and it was just beautiful. made me tear up.
“he’s a great boyfriend” 😂 perfect response. you can tell they are close and really have fun together.

Honestly, I used to watch the Daily Show with John Stewart sporadically and always loved it, but I became a serious fan when Trevor became the host. His personality just shines through every moment and his background makes him feel like an example of courage, empathy and resilience.

"Ooof...that's harsh..."
"Yep."
Best line ever.

He’s right. Being poor when you don’t know any different is not the same as being poor when you know what rich looks like. That psychological difference is what makes the former bearable and the latter absolutely miserable

One of the most perceptive, eloquent, compassionate but also most hard-hitting social commentators we have in the West at the present time. He always comes across so humble (and you can tell it's genuine), but I truly believe he's one of our generation's great treasures. Mad respect!

i love trevor. his background/childhood gives him a different perspective than other late night talk show hosts in the u.s. i was so sad to hear of gogo's passing. she was a driving force in his life. rip beautiful gogo ❤

From south Africa 🇿🇦 Trevor is a legend not only because he's a comedian he is legit thanks for the interview ✌️

what makes this interview great is how the interviewer asked and how Trevor reaponded in a very brilliant and genuine way.

I love Trevor. He’s definitely funny, but he’s especially bright and very insightful. He has a lot to share and to teach us.

He is terrific - as a comedian - and as a human being. Love this guy! We need HIM every single day.

~ 9:09 ~ That 'Welcome to America' moment was made all the more sublime when he didn't back down from it, despite her response.

I am so impressed by his articulate, intelligent and deeply thoughtful personality. How could you not like this chap.
I wish him every success and happiness throughout his wonderful life. Thank you for making the world a better place.
He gave the most accurate succinct statement that we are our most authentic selves in [ genuine unfiltered ] laughter - 100%!

I can relate to what Trevor said about depression. What you eat, how you sleep, keeping a routine can and will help you everyday of your life.

I'm only halfway through the interview, but Trevor, you just made me cry. You described what one of the people closest to me can never seem to understand. I need to be able to maintain parts of my life in a certain way in order to stay stable (sane). As opposed to being controlled by drugs or by other people's definition of how I should be. Thank you

I love to see Trevor laugh , I’m sure his grandma is smiling down n him . RIP

I love Trevor Noah! He is a perfect example of a person who possesses a great talent and a great heart. When you have both talent and heart, magic happens! We need more people like Trevor because they make our world so much brighter!

Trevor Noah is a guy who tells his truth in a way that makes you laugh. I enjoy him and his humor. He does not use profanity like many comedians do today. He just makes you laugh and know "it is what it is". May God continue to bless him.

Smart move by John Stewart to bring him on as his successor. He’s smart and funny, and more eloquent than any other late night host.. People can hate all they want, but it’s true. He and Jon Oliver are my favs. 👍🏽✌🏽

I absolutely adore Trevor. He made getting through the pandemic quarantine tolerable. He’s witty, kind, good natured and has the best laugh and he’s smart enough to surround himself with a stellar team. I wish him lots more laughs and so much joy because he’s brought that in abundance to so many of us who needed it.

I honestly sincerely love and admire him sooo much .. he’s brilliant he’s smart he’s funny he’s sincere .. his ability to always see both sides and break it down to everyone else to understand always blows my mind … he’s an incredible human being

We love you Trevor, you helped my husband laugh through depression. We'd watch your recorded shows and just laugh. God Bless you

The way my eyes were glued to the screen for that boyfriend/girlfriend question 😂🤣😂 it just made me feel so nosey...its none of my business😂🤣😂

Trevor is honestly my favorite late night guy. He’s so brilliant and funny. Real.

I had no idea how hard his life was. This is so heartbreaking and inspiring. No wonder we're so drawn to him! Wisdom beyond what most could ever dream to have.

The broadcasts from his apartment absolutely reigned me in. I didn't know how funny he is and also how well he orchestrates very serious events into his show. I love this guy!

This man is absolutely wonderfully amazing he's very genuine and brilliant.

When he said “ well welcome to America…..there’s a lot of anger in America” he was so right and I admire him so much.

Not just a top notch comedian but a very genuine, intelligent, insightful and well rounded person. I just ❤️ him!

Always impressive in his interviews. Very smart and doesn’t get trapped by such leading questions like Chappell crossing the line or responses like ‘“that’s harsh”.. yep because it is. His personal life is his business. Bravo, Trevor.

Trevor's intellect is untouchable an is a very learned person. He conveys his messages in a very receptive way, even scholarly! Laughter changes the game! Love Ya Trevor!👍❣️✌️

He is intelligent and wise and authentic. We need many more such people in the public eye.

I love Trevor Noah. It took a minute to get used to him on the Daily Show but he won everyone over with his charm and intelligence.

He always gives the best interviews and super insightful answers 💯🙌🏾

Somebody give dis man an Oscar just for being awesome 😭❤️❤️

Trevor Naoh is one of those Greats who will go down in history as a true Hero he take the worst of America and helps us put them into a perspective that proves humor is the best medicine for our hardships. He opens our eyes on all injustices that people happen to be born into. We deserve more men to show the way to help our future children of tomorrow. We can learn from him.

Because of his complex background and experience, his work has a depth and perspective that we don't see from other night show hosts. It is refreshing and inspiring. I connect to his show more than the other night shows more as a minority (Asian American) in this country.

I love hearing his opinion & perspectives on things even more than his comedy. He has had a life that’s given him a unique place to understand multiple ethnicities and has a lot of wisdom on most topics.

Great man and a great comedian too....

The moment I saw that 60 minutes had interviewed Trevor I liked the video instantly, before even seeing it!

As Trevor's fellow countryman, I feel so honoured to call him one of our own. Watching his rise and growth to become a global force is so inspiring and more of what our youth need to see - to inspire them to be more and go for more. He's one of the best boyfriends we have from SA 😂😂

Once my literature teacher said comedy is the most painful thing in the world. Trevor, these words were for you.

I love Trevor. He's a very intelligent man and I appreciate him speaking out on important issues and bringing massive attention to them.

Love Trevor and LOVED his book. I made my 78 year old mum from England listen to it with me and she loved it too. He is a wonderful story teller, comedian, and inspiration!

When Trevor’s friend answered the girlfriend question… hysterical..if you have never been to his show..you must .. it’s laughter from beginning to end…

Trevor it’s such great pleasure to watch 60 minutes today. You are so blessed Trevor and I feel so proud of you. Bless your heart always.

I loveeeeee Trevor, his work, sense of humor, his book, his life, his take on the world and how he simplifies the world's most serious problems. He is a true gem ....

The audio version of his book is the best I have ever listened to. He is so good at making you see the world from new perspectives that you come away a changed person...happier, sadder, but smarter.

I live in Miami and Hispanic. I feel discriminated by other Hispanics that have lighter skin color. Racism is real and it’s not always whites vs blacks. It’s our same people who discriminate against one another.

The clock is ticking😳 I just turned 37 like yesterday and it is so stressful being an independent professional and having a whole community of adults you run into tell you that your clock is either over or ticking, as if it's a death sentence if you don't have children. Do you want children of course but it's not that simple for some people.🖤

I've been a fan since day one. I loved his perspective coming from South Africa. Jon Stewart is on of the most intelligent, heartful, and soulful celebrities - of course he left his Daily Show audience in great hands. I would not have expected less.

I was so thrilled that Jon, someone I already admire to be wise and down to earth on top of funny to pick a fantastic successor. Noah always blows me away with how wise he is on top of his own brand of humor. I didnt dislike Noah at the beginning. I was curious. I wanted to give him a chance because I believed Jon would choose well. And he did. There is so much to Noah...so much story. It's no wonder he turned out to be who he is. I am in awe about his talent for accents. And he's a cutie!

What an outstanding interview- great questions and she for him to open up more than I’ve ever seen. And of course Trevor’s genius and magic. Ah man seeing him with his South African buddies joking about the boyfriend.. I miss South Africa!!! (Also South Africa living in US)

Such a refreshing talent, all the success to him.

"Is that he is very, very, um, like great...boyfriend-"
Lmao he stopped himself. There was a 'but' there 😂😂

When David said "He is very very like a great boyfriend." And stopped there, I swear I laughed like crazy 🤣🤣🤣

He's right. There is a lot of hate in America, especially right now. We're living in difficult and frightening times and people are looking for someone to blame. Our anger is dividing us when we need to be coming together, and helping each other. This man is wise beyond his years and I appreciate his insights.

"He's a great boyfriend. *silence*"
I literally bursted into laughter here lmao

His book is excellent! I'm in the middle of it right now and highly recommend it. Such a great storyteller.

Oh, Trevah!
From watching his show, he seems to be very smart, insightful, wise, talented, mostly kind, honest, courageous, very handsome, and completely adorable. Altogether an outstanding human. His COVID shows were wonderful. I think that he should do more commentary from his apartment.
I hope that his private life is as lovely as his public life.
Say "Hi!" to Ronny, Desi and Roy for me.

Trevor is not only intelligent but he is a genuine and easy to connect with him. Love Trevor!

*"Which side are you looking at the line from?"....that's DEEP.*

Te retort to "society defines the line" was so true and so well articulated!

Trevor is also one of the best interviewers in TV, his latest Interview with Kellyanne Conway is a masterclass on how to get someone's attention, being polite and cordial with them and at the same time not allowimg them to pivot.
I've seen "seasoned" journalists, TV hosts and personalities on CNN, on BBC and... in Fox News fail miserably at sustaining a decent interview.

I would love to meet Trevor someday! I truly admire everything about him. Handsome, intelligent, funny, humble, mysterious, down to earth. He is simply the best!

Nothing can prevent my love of this man! His wit, intelligence, empathy and intent listening skills, I adore him!

Absolutely love this man, he's brought so many scary situations to light with humor. He got me through quarantine I lived for his commentary, not just political but on all serious issues because he has a way of making everything comical without being offensive. He's just awesome!!

Speak the truth Trevor everytime I watch your interviews I can't help but to smile.Love from South Africa.

I am old and when I discovered Noah on my TV screen one night I thought he had been there for a long time and I knew him forever! Thank you Noah and now that I know where you came from I appreciate you even more!

I remember when I first saw Trevor Noah on the daily show I thought he smashed it. He hit a home run ! I was so surprised to read the public didn’t share my sentiment. I felt he was awesome then and is fabulous now

I loved Jon Stewart but Trevor is absolutely amazing. I could not imagine anyone else take over the daily show and making it better. Big Ups to Trevor

seeing ADHD representation in mainstream media, and not as the tired, shallow “i’m so ditzy i can’t keep anything straight haha! always late i’m so quirky! squirrel!” trope, means everything to me (and so many other adult ADHD-ers, i’m sure). and even beyond that, trevor’s willingness to speak candidly about his depression & how the two uniquely correlate, as they do for so many of us, really tugs at my heartstrings. it’s so easy to feel utterly alone in this experience, and to feel like there are so many hurdles to being successful - but we never truly are alone, and we are just as capable of thriving as anyone else. loved this ep 🤍

I love how his friends covered for the awkward attempt to intrude on Trevor’s romantic relationships-
“What I will say is he’s a great… boyfriend.”
Okay what do you think of Trevor?
“He’s a great boyfriend.”

I enjoy Trevor tremendously- he's a bright spot in a dark world- so smart- I wish him everything good as he continues to enlighten us all❤

Trevor's WHCD speech was amazing

I LOVE this piece. I love Noah, and ALL the light he brings to every topic!!

I've appreciated this dude ever since his first TDS episode.. and my respect & admiration for him has grown by leaps & bounds.

David Kibuuka is and has been a G.O.A.T
"Show me your 5 friends..." Shout out to Trevor for surrounding himself with the best, that's why he's the best.

I’ve been watching Trevor Noah for a long time now. I still hope he keeps us all laughing for a long time! 🙏💕👏

I hear nothing but an intelligent person answering an intelligent woman, excellent interview, and credits go to both of these professional people for having the good sense to understand where our United States of America is right now.

Loved the nuance to the "society decides" conversation. So true!

"Which side you are looking at the line from, defines whether he crossed it", great observation,
