One of the people from my online team said he didn't notice - almost immediately after the [Donald] Trump victory within the following days, he noticed that there was a severe spike in hateful messages that were coming towards me.

Language and accents govern so much of how people think about other people.
Trevor Noah
I've lived many places all over the world, so I've always seen myself as a citizen of the world.

When I first started doing comedy, there was no such thing as a room that had black people and white people in it. That didn't exist.

If you can't trust your president to get the right information on a Googleable fact, then can you really trust him with the harder stuff? Which, by the way, is everything else the president of the United States has to deal with.
Trevor Noah
I hope America manages to steer itself away from partisanship and back to patriotism we are all Americans. And as long as I can make people laugh and feel better, I'm happy.

I think we need to get rid of is improving our minds and our mental health. You know, when when you suffer from depression, you go this is something that I have and I can work on it, you know? I often think of depression, though, as more of a - as more of a symptom than a cause.
Trevor Noah
I think all of us should seek help, and not help is in a - you know, help shouldn't be seen as a frightening thing. Help shouldn't be seen as a weak thing.

In America, to have news that has explicitly taken a position is a very strange place to be in, and it's a very dangerous place to be in. And that's happening on Facebook, as you saw, and that's happening online. People are just being given their news and not the news, which is really, really scary.
Trevor Noah
As an outsider myself, I always mixed myself with different groups...I've never been afraid to go into a different space and relate to those people, because I don't have a place where I belong and that means I belong everywhere.
Trevor Noah
I don't think things are getting more insane. I do know that the country is more divided than it's ever been. Tensions in America are at their peak.

Nelson Mandela was in jail when I was really young, and Winnie Mandela was one of the biggest faces of the movement. In South Africa we have a common phrase - it's like a chant in the street and at rallies: Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo. Which means, You strike a woman, you strike a rock.
Trevor Noah
I think it's despicable. I also think it's frightening that we seem to live through history over and over again. And I don't know if I'm the only one. I feel like, when you read through history books, you always judge those people in that time.

Those were the places where many people mixed if they wanted to mix, which was against the law [Immorality Act of 1927]. My mother was part of that group. My father was part of that group. People who were black and whites and Indian and Asian - and you came together and said, we choose to mix at the risk of being arrested. And so they did.

There's news that happens in different spheres and can be made just as funny, but it's not necessarily in the normal news medium.
Trevor Noah
I actually think this whole Brexit thing in the U.K. was a welcome example of being straightforward. With the candidates pulling out quickly, there's no stringing the people along.
Trevor Noah
I don't think I, myself, am personally afraid. I do worry for the press, though, because Donald Trump has shown himself to be extremely thin-skinned. He does not take criticism well, nor does he appreciate reporting on his life.
Trevor Noah
It's an interesting place to begin where the country is completely divided into choosing sides, when the only side everyone should be choosing is the side of America, and then politicians essentially should be arguing about the best way to serve America.
Trevor Noah
I do feel like I have a sense of the times. A lot of the things America is experiencing now, I feel like I have lived through. I think there is a cause for concern.
Trevor Noah
When you see someone as a human being, you begin to understand most people are doing what they believe is right. I ask myself, What if you were wrong? How would you want someone to engage with you?
