Trevor Noah Rides a Pain Rollercoaster While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

it's just pain what why there's no good memories this is not the bomb this is trash hey what's going on everybody for first week feast i'm shawn evans and you're watching hot ones it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings and today we're joined by trevor noah he's the host of the emmy award-winning the daily show on comedy central he's also written a new york times bestseller it's called warner crime stories from a south african childhood trevor noah welcome to the show thank you very much for having me you once tweeted that starting your day with chicken wings is like pouring paraffin into a ferrari so i take it you can handle your heat man i don't even know why i'm here to be honest with you i love chicken wings i like hot food but when it's a competition that's never a good idea any hot food eating endeavor i've gone on has ended very badly so this is this is just us beginning this is just our baby steps okay this is the beginning this is nice it just like tingles the tip of your tongue you know so when we had charlize theron on the show she gave us a crash course in afrikaans and taught me how to say yo massa puss as somebody okay wow all right is somebody who speaks seven languages themselves can you give me a zulu phrase that i can incorporate in my everyday life you'd use it for your show [Music] yeah which means i'm hungry ah you need that all the time which south african delicacy do you think deserves more shine slap chips bunny chow or biltong biltong i think biltong deserves a lot more shine because like here's the thing bunny chow i've seen versions of it in the world you know people take bread i put a bit of curry inside of it i've seen some version of that uh [ __ ] chips i mean it's just like how you you know it's not french fries it's just bigger portions of potato that have been cooked you know but biltong is amazing man it's like i remember when i came to america and someone was like have you tried jerky and it's trash jerky is trash i don't care who you are that jerky is trash it's got a whole bunch of like sodium and whatnots and like sugar and why you have sugar in your meat what like what is this whereas biltong is just spiced dried meat it is the most delicious thing you've ever eaten if you eat it right i guess the name as well bill tong right that's not a sexy name you know what i mean like if your if your girlfriend said to you tonight me you bill tong i'd be like i got plants you see see it's branding that's the problem no it's nice flavor i can taste the pineapple [Music] so you're a self-described roller coaster [ __ ] who dreams of touring the best thrill rides in america what's been your most harrowing amusement park experience i went and i rode harry potter outside um universal i think it is i love roller coasters and the harry potter ride is one of the best and the ride stopped in the middle and first i was like oh this is part of the ride it's crazy and i was like no no it's not something's wrong yeah and then you just hang there and then you go what what happens now you're like on a plane they tell you hey if [ __ ] goes down something's gonna fall you're gonna do a thing you put your head down and you know yeah they don't tell you anything before roller coasters go have fun be this be this tall and have fun how is it resolved like did somebody get on a ladder and press a button or did it just start moving again after a while it started moving and i was with a friend of mine who is terrified of any type of ride and his screams made me afraid because at first i was like we'll be fine and he was like and then i was like we're gonna die we're gonna die this is like you gotta contact fear it's you know it's like in horror movies i feel like half of the fear is the person who's screaming you know if everyone is just calm like we might die i'd get through it but the contact fear is what terrifies me let's see shaquanda it hits the sides of your tongue really nicely like in the sauces so far it seems yeah it's got an okay flavor i'm still on the classic i mean that's winning for me right now we'll take it so since taking over on the daily show there's been a massive explosion in the number of programs that have political commentary and satire at their core do you think that this snowballing of political punditry is helping us to think more clearly be more informed or do you think it might be having the opposite effect oh it's interesting i think it's good you know i think it's good to have as many shows as possible especially shows that cater to young people you know for so long people have made it seem like politics is what you do when you're old but politics affects your entire life in fact i feel like it should be the other way around i feel like old people should be like i don't care i'm almost done it's weird to me that like super old people like i'm gonna vote and change this world that i'm leaving soon why why would you care if i was old i would not give a [ __ ] i'd be on roller coasters going crazy did jon stewart give you any advice for how to avoid becoming that old angry man screaming at the clouds oh no he said it was going to happen john said i'm leaving because i'm old and angry and you're young and happy so um enjoy it while it lasts that was his advice his advice was just like you know try and enjoy it for as long as you can don't don't let the anger be your overriding emotion you want people to tune in so that they're not angry anymore by the end of the show and that's what i try and do one unintended consequence i think is that there are a lot of super funny comedians who seem less interested in doing the lighthearted entertainment that they used to right do you think that that's sad in a way or is it naive to expect anything different well i think people forget that comedians are human beings we're living in the world you know so jim gaffigan super funny guy doesn't like talking about politics but at some point he's going to be like yo i got to say something ricky gervais another person hates talking about politics but at some point even he was like guys we're just gonna act like this is not happening so i get why some people be like oh my favorite comedian started talking about politics it's like yeah but maybe it's because the politics has started affecting your favorite comedian that's probably what it is you know [Music] what what kind of name is that lucky dog year of the dog thai chili i don't think chai is ever spicy [Music] it's got a nice it dances on your tongue nicely that's my favorite spicy food the one that dances on your tongue yeah you just want like like you know you want to be like friday stairs dancing across your tongue all right good good spicy food so when we had bill burr on the show he said that doing stand-up in new york is like performing at a women's college and i'm just curious from your perspective do you find that audiences in the u.s are any more or less sensitive than the ones that you encounter internationally or i find it they just care about different things i find it depends where you go you know i've i've gotten rid of like um categorizing america as one giant you know one monolith when i came here i had those ideas i've realized now america is basically 50 countries masquerading as one even in new york like going from like long island to brooklyn audiences are completely different i always say this with comedy everyone thinks a joke is funny until it's a joke about them right that's pretty much what it is you know it's like hot ones everyone's like yeah that's cool until they're the one eating the food and they're like this this is not cool man it's not cool los calientes i'm always hesitant to say how hot or not something is sometimes it sneaks up on you that's a guy who's been around hot food before that's a veteran take right there all right trevor we have a recurrent segment on our show called explain that graham where we do a deep dive on our guest instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context so i'll bust out the laptop i'll show you the picture you just tell me the bigger story does that sound good all right laptop please [Music] this is just from my instagram not my pawn hub account right yeah no just from your instagram okay but i did check that out this is you at the met gala with chrissy teigen and john legend so that picture was actually one of my favorite moments because i had just gotten to america really like for the daily show and this was like one of my first public outings i had no clue what this was or who these people were you're just like you're just seeing all the celebrities and people always think you should become a celebrity overnight no right no there's levels there's levels so you like walk into a place and then if you see rihanna it's not like you should be like hey ree how you doing girl no no you don't and so when i was leaving the event afterwards john legend and chrissy teigen saw me and then like i think it was christy she was like hey you're the guy taking over the daily show and i was like yeah and she's like don't [ __ ] it up and i was like uh okay she's like no i'm kidding come over here you've got friends like no i don't have friends but i mean i do but not at uh at the mecca and she's like come on come on hang out with us how you guys doing they're the nicest people you've ever had yeah john and chrissy are just like the nicest celebrities you will ever ever meet in your life so that's what that picture was speaking of epic nights that's uh lewis hamilton's world championship trophy i think that was in austin but he's a friend of mine he's a world championship formula one racing driver and really one of the best we've seen in a generation amazing driver in the wet which is really hard to do especially in formula one he was he was racing in austin he was like hey do you want to come check out the race uh hopefully i'll win the championship and i was like yeah okay i'll come and so i went and he won and then when we went down to congratulate him they were like yo do you want to hold the trophy i was like yeah of course i want to hold the trophy you trust me with the trophy and we're like yeah we trust you with the trophy and now they don't know where the trophy is detroit hellfire i would say this is this is my my favorite like all-around flavor of a hot sauce you know so far it has like a beautiful body to it it accentuates the chicken that's a nice flavor man that's really good so the title of your book born of crime refers to the fact that as somebody who had a black mother and a white father that you were representing a crime that could have been punishable by up to five years in prison right you've made an interesting point about how in some ways you prefer the racism in south africa compared to the racism in the united states right how do you unpackage that for someone who thinks that all racism is the same well you know what you've got to think of it like this think of racism like hot sauce you know there's some hot sauce where they tell you it's hot sauce but you can't really tell you know you put it on your tongue it doesn't happen but then maybe tomorrow when you go to the bathroom you'll be like oh that was hot sauce i don't like that i want to know when it's happening that this is hot sauce you get what i'm saying yeah so yeah i i grew up in a world where people were blatantly racist for the most part if they were and then you know what what i like about that is i know where we stand we can work off of that i can talk to you as a person i can try and figure out where your racism started or what makes you more racist and then and then we can move forward the hardest person to to to try and change is someone who doesn't believe they're racist or engages in racist ideas that uh that aren't direct because then you know what i mean someone's like i'm not racist i'm not racist at all i just think that sometimes black people you know those ones good luck man that's that day after hot sauce day after hot sauce racism i don't need that in my life trinidad scorpion oh lord here we go okay oh okay um just wanna don't breathe yeah hot sauces feeling your nose yeah immediate mmm oh [ __ ] oh man you feel that i feel that this is a hot sauce that doesn't even doesn't even it's not in your on your tongue it's burning the top of your mouth why would you on the top of your mouth spiciness [Music] this is unnecessary so you seem to have a real knack for interviewing people whose views are diametrically opposed to in these tribal times what advice do you have for talking to someone with whom you share almost no common ground i think the key is to listen our instinct as human beings is to first tell a person why they're wrong but i find if you listen to them you can understand a little bit of where they're coming from and then maybe that can give you a little insight or a way in to finding common ground that then can lead you somewhere else that takes you feel your time right now it uh your tongue it's it's starting to tingle out but you know sometimes there's this expectation from the audience that you're gonna like body slam this person or destroy them in this debate if you come to my show as a guest i'm going to treat you accordingly you know i don't want to destroy you i want to engage with you and i i think i think a lot of the time as people if you have ideas you believe in you should be willing to engage or you should be willing to test those ideas against somebody that that you don't agree with hitting i'm hitting are you hitting the water does water help so i always have this thing when i hit the water i know that fans are big that actually makes it worse it spreads though it's thoughts no i know i know but like so i have like uh there's tons of insufferable hot sauce experts that are always hitting me with the tips so you're trying them maybe on some level but also i think psychologically which i think is more important anyway the water does help me for whatever reason i know that it's against science but in my brain that's how it works okay all right this next one is to bomb beyond insanity man all right [Music] oh this is horrible oh lord oh [ __ ] this is my what is this there's no food it's beyond insanity but there's no food oh man i got that weed cough oh man now that you're in a position to afford the finer things in life is bologna and brown bread still better than any michelin-starred restaurant bologna brown bread and margarine which you guys aren't familiar with because you guys use butter we couldn't afford butter so we had margaery still one of my favorite meals simple it's effective and it's delicious unlike this [ __ ] which you've just made me eat what is this god damn this is horrible for the uninitiated how do you describe the gastronomic experience of eating a goat's eye um imagine a bouncing ball imagine taking a bouncing ball putting into your mouth and biting it really hard but then it pops and explodes and all the snot from a child's nose is in your mouth that's what eating a goat's eye is like delicious i know that you're a big fan where does the heat that we're at right now compared to the hottest at nando's oh my lord here's the thing nando's gets really hot but it has flavor it makes you think of something else oh lord oh jesus it's just pain what why there's no good memories this is not the bomb this is trash [Music] oh ah okay i'm trying to think if i should rinse my palate for this or just add to it so far you're on a no water no milk yeah track it is rarefied air i like to i like to taste the flavors what's this next one this is pucker butt chocolate plague from smoking ed curry you joining me i'm coming all right [Music] okay we're back in flavor still very hot very hot but the flavor which plane with fire incident as a child brought you closer to death the time that you were playing with black cats and they exploded taking your eyebrows off by the time that you burned down a shed with a magnifying glass i would have to say the time i was playing with black cats so i poured them all out into a pot plant ooh and made a super made a super yeah and then and then but i i i was trying to light one in my hand i was like you know as a pause i was like let's just enjoy this moment and it blew up in my hand and i dropped the match into the pot plant i was trying to gather all the gunpowder and it exploded up and burnt my eyebrows off but i didn't know so my mom heard a loud bang was like wow and then my cousin screamed and my mom came running outside and she's like what happened and i was gonna be in trouble so i turned around and i was like nothing and she's like what did you do it was like nothing and she's like something happened i was like why would you say that she's like cause you don't have eyebrows and i was like what what you know she's like go to the bathroom and look at what you look like busted and i went and literally i was like i had like charred pieces and then no eyebrows irrefutable so yeah that was probably it what's the bag like for doing voice over work for black panther you just want me to to ignore that you're shaking the last one up [Music] you haven't shaken any of them up you're gonna shake up the last one so this is the last dab we call it the last dab because it's tradition around here to put a little extra on the last wing you don't have to if you don't want to trevor noah you say that as reverse psychology now i have to do it basically what you just said to me the translation was if you would like to be a little bitty you're welcome that's what you did so now i have to indulge with you good health is weird you know what it looks like it looks like my little brother's diaper whenever i change that's concerned i would find this inside his diaper that's what it was see that over there yeah all right this is it cheers my friend cheers my man oh lord okay are you okay yeah i think you're holding up better than me you look a little stressed i'm not gonna lie for a white guy this is super impressive thank you trevor i'll take that i'm being for real all right trevor noah here we are at the summit of spice mountain and as we've learned today you can speak on almost anything but i think that you're at your most eloquent when you talk about taking a [ __ ] you've called going number two profound a powerful experience and it is an act that makes us forget our airs and graces so now with your gut throbbing cinched yes tortured by the hot sauce yes can you tell the people why are we most ourselves when we're letting the caboose loose i'll tell you why it's not even a disgusting thought i think as human beings we spend so much time pretending you're taught to act from the time you're a young child your parents teach you a certain thing your teachers your friends everybody and then you develop this persona about who you are that persona lives with you it changes and it augments as you grow but there's one place where we are honest i don't care who you are and that is when you are taking a [ __ ] it is just you and yourself you sit there and you are honest you are humble no one shits cool from me all the way to the queen we all [ __ ] the same same squat pose same everything have you seen a dog when it takes a [ __ ] i don't care if it's a pitbull or chihuahua they've all got that look on their faces [Music] that's what [ __ ] does you it reminds you that we're all the same nobody's better than anybody else at the core we've all got that stuff that comes out of our butt words to live by from trevor noah and look at you my man 10 chicken wings up 10 chicken wings down and now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you trevor noah thank you very much this

As much as I love Wubby, he’s not “famous enough” there wouldn’t be enough for Sean to talk about unfortunately. Maybe one day in the future if he gets as big as H3!

[u/HUGE_FUCKING_ROBOT]

You want to watch a man die on camera? I give him 3 wings before hes a sobbing mess and i feel thats generous.

[u/olivicmic]

Would be more entertaining than Trevor Noah. Oh wait, he was already on it.

[u/[deleted]]

Why not just make him do something like this as a dono goal?

[u/KeyCorgi]

A Hot Ones dono goal would be awesome

[u/Riku295]

I never knew I wanted this, until now. Maybe one day it'll happen...or maybe put out a call/tweet to the people who run the show?

[u/Swtcherrypie]

I want this so bad.

I don't think he's big enough yet, but he could order the sauces and do one on his own while he cries like a baby doing it.

[u/Catnip323]

Boneless with a dipping cup of Litehouse Ranch... and a toilet nearby.

[u/WesMcGrizz]

Wubby. Make this shit happen. Tell em about how you saved the animals, took down the ASMR child exploitation, and how you fill kids.

The question about how theres always a little black boy taking V-Bucks from a fucking wizard should be interesting too
