I LOVE that Trevor surrounded himself with these coworkers. So diverse, so talented, so beautiful in and out. From Hassan, to Roy, to Dulce, to Ronnie, to Michael, to Desy, to Jordan... Everyone has their unique perspective and background, and they're all important, or might I say: necessary. I'm so proud of all of them and the work they've done (and are still doing) ❤️ (: !
I mean he had to. Trevor never could have carried the show. As far as I'm concerned Roy is the True Heart of this show
I couldn't agree with you more. 🥰
I miss Hasan
@@DonnaSnyder I couldn't stand Hassan. Something about him never sat right with me.
Haven't seen Desy in a bit...
When that lady switched from Chinese to "I'm from Queens!" was beautiful
I was impressed that Ronny spoke Mandarin Chinese!
@@cacritic28 yea that too
@Mike Mullet I believe Ronny can also speak Cantonese because at 8:16, he mentions that while they were doing the field piece, they encouraged people to speak either Mandarin or Cantonese. It would be kinda difficult for him to keep up a conversation with someone if he didn't understand Cantonese as well.
@@inukami8963 - Ronny is from the southern Malaysian city of Johor Bahru or JB, and ethnic Chinese there usually can speak Mandarin & the Chinese dialects of Hokkien, Teochew & possibly Cantonese & Hakka. Ronny studied in the neighbouring country of Singapore where ethnic Chinese usually studied Mandarin formally in school.
It truly was.
It's still insane knowing a comedy based show has more integrity and humanity than an actual news outlet
By far! Because it’s not really news, it’s corporate propaganda
Ovov. Ov gov.
Agreed.
Fox is not news. It's hateful-tainment
I watch my news on these kind of shows. The rest are just junk tv
Jon Stewart set the bar so high i never thought in a million years,, Trevor didn't just take over, he brought a crew of heavy hitters with him... You guys are awesome, please don't change up on us👏🏽😎
Yes, truly a Jon Stewart fan first. He's wonderful and an activist.
I never watched Jon Stewart but I think these guys are the absolute best!!!!
@@Angrykitty927 you missed out. Look up his rant on deep dish pizza, or him standing up for the 911 first responders.
Trevor has made this show his own without diminishing the outstanding legacy of Jon Stewart. I really hope he and his crew are around for a long time
I miss Jon Stewart's passion, his heart. The time he would tear up when he was presenting something so we could all feel it's effect.
He changed the way young people relate to the politics and the news in general. He's a revolutionary in his own rite. I miss his rants & his humor. I miss his takedowns if right wing insanity.
He's the reason so many of us are able to engage in matters that 30 years ago were left only to white men in their 50's.
Ronnie is such a sweetheart. He is truly a global treasure 🥺
I know right? and he looks so angry on stage all the time.
@@avamomoh - Love his genuine smile, we don't get a chance to see it often enough, because it's not part of his on-stage persona.
He's just awesome
@@AbsentWithoutLeaving Well said!
I hope conversations like this become more normalized. Talk about refreshing
@A P - How do you feel about the video, though?
@A P Thank you for commenting on this video and thus spreading it's influence. Remember, every time you comment and/or like/dislike, you spread the video to even more people.
@A P hey is OAN, FOX and NEWSMAX getting sued for 1.6 billion combined or 1.6 billion each?
@A P does anyone have an opinion on rather Trump will do more time in prison than he did in office?
@A P do you think the reason Trump is so concerned about Hunter Bidens briefcase is because don Jr and Eric accidentally put the plans for the coup in it? That's why it failed. Hunter wouldn't give them back the original plan.
I don't know if this comment will be noticed but I REALLY want to add this:
I am a trained actress. NYU Tisch, Shakespeare, Chekov, Arthur Williams, Samuel Beckett, UCB, you name it.
I remember a teacher saying my "type" was Margaret Cho and Lucy Liu (makes no sense). Graduated ready with my comedy skills and timing. Dialect coach training. Ready to tell stories. Bright eyed and ready.
My first roles were:
1. Sushi waitress #2
2. Underage Maussuse
3. Feature film role as a person with an "Asian accent" (when I asked which accent, they just said Asian... I had to go along with it and humiliate myself).
4. I went in for a snarky, sassy, fun role "brunette". I sat at casting with a bunch of other brunettes. When I went in, I was humiliated and told that they made a mistake and I wasn't a brunette and should just leave.. but please, leave that 3 dollar headshot and resume in case they needed an "Asian" for and "Asian" role. They could have just spent 3 minutes auditioning me and not calling me back.. instead of making me feel "other". Instead, they had to inform me that I don't fit that breakdown and I should know that the breakdown should say "Asian" if they needed me... they also asked if I knew martial arts. What?
5. I then went on to play this "fantasy" Asian girl who was derailing a man from his true love. Like an exotic treat he sleeps with but wakes up to find that he actually doesn't love me. I was a toy.
6. I went to start my own company. Started writing, directing, had a whole career producing behind the scenes making SURE while I was in the casting room to remind directors that diversity makes sense and matters. Just look at the streets of NYC. It's DIVERSE.
....I even auditioned for Crazy Rich Asians.That was fun.
7. I went on to writing realistic stories that have nothing to do with me or other Asian Americans being Asian American... we're people, with real problems, issues, pains, and joys.
PS AGAIN: and NOT ALL ASIANS ARE BORN WITH MARTIAL ARTS SKILLS! I just can't stand being asked that all the time.
I'll continue my work. Keep my head up. I spent 2 years in South Korea during the pandemic staying safe from the pandemic and healing.... connecting with family I'd never met before as I was born an American citizen. I needed to recharge after all the grind in NYC.
Excited to be back.
Best of luck, maybe get in touch with Ronnie.
Edric Aldones oh boy, he’s like.. a friend of a friend I’m sure. One day:)
Hey, just want to say, I’m proud of you! What a journey to go through, it wasn’t easy, not going to be, but you go do what you want to do
Excellent, thank you for sharing. Hopefully it will enlighten some people.
Anna D thank you!
The fact that people were lined up to talk to them about the issue just shows how much this was important
Yeah, people do care. Especially minority communities.
You don't talk about them. You talk to them and speak with them.
I really appreciate that the Daily Show was able to help the Asian community to speak up and fight back to the racist Fox news segment. I love every one of you. Thank you for bringing some laughter in the grim world
As a black man I enjoyed this discourse. If everyone keeps saying "we have our own problems" society as a whole will suffer.
@Mountain Goddess - Why are you spamming the comments?
My comment got erased
My comments got erased AGAIN. How obnoxious.
@@MajorHenryL. - Yes. You are being obnoxious. But we don't care.
"How was that on the news???"
It wasn't, it was on Fox.
We disrespect Fox a lot and it deserves the disrespect. The problem is that Fox is identified as news in general and its ratings are much much much higher than any other news network.
Right! Fox news is basically editorials with a strong Trump bias.
Fake Fox
@@gailhitson6722 Faux News
@@semi6544 Fox is dangerous because people think it's news instead they are a right wing opinionated talk show. It's misleading when some think it's relevant news.
I love Ronnie and Roy so much. They’re both some of the best comedians of our time. Both of them have spectacular stand up specials that you can watch online and they’re both extremely funny, extremely poignant and very smart. Can’t wait for more stand-up from these two, the world needs it!
DEFINITELY!
Agreed! 😻🙌🏼💗
It’s funny that he said everyone got upset, I’m black and just the clips got me furious, like it was blatantly racist.
Same here 👊🏿💁🏿♂️
My first experience with Asians was when my church sponsored a Laotian family when I was a child. Their son was younger than me, so I didn’t actually get to know him until we both ended up working at Burger King over a decade later. He was in high school and I had dropped out of college. All the other Asians in town where the children of doctors. Since my mom was a nurse, they didn’t seem any different to me, just part of our small town hospital’s extended family. The Laotian family seemed different, but only because I knew they had escaped dangers in their own country, so we (the community) needed to make them feel welcome. Oddly, I was not aware there was racism in my town. My parents never talked about people in terms of race. They talked about people in terms of jobs or behaviors. Racism was something that happened in the city or on tv. Then during my summer orientation weekend prior to starting university, someone plastered our downtown with KKK fliers. My family was dumbfounded. It was believed an outsider came in and did it, but who knows. I realized after joining anti-racism and international student organizations at university how sheltered my life had been. I can see that my parents were trying to do the right thing by teaching us to see the person and not their race, but I now know that if I don’t see a person’s race, I can’t empathize with their lived experiences. Unfortunately, racism is still a problem, so I have to acknowledge race, if I am to try to fight racism when I see it or hear it. The people I have met in my life that I consider my brothers and sisters are a cornucopia of cultures, religions, races, and languages. I’m a better person for the lessons I have learned from them.
Perfectly stated. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts
Roy made a point that he might hesitate to help because he would be worried that by helping then he could be implicated in attack because he's black. This is an insane world.
And sad that this is a rational fear for black men.
Its ironic the guest brought up the Bay area newscaster and activist Dione. She has a lot of anti-black racism in her comment threads. I know she sees them because she responds to the comments with anti-Asian sentiment. I think she is doing a great deal of harm because she posts videos of Asians being robbed and car jacked in the Bay Area and labels them all hate crimes when in reality everyone in the Bay Area are being robbed and carjacked.
I've seen others call her out and most recently she has been posting videos of other groups being attacked but the damage is done. She also is leading a campaign against the DA, because she claims his leniency on petty crime is some how linked to the violent crime...but she has yet to provide evidence to my knowledge.
It's A Shame That We Have To Think About That Before We Help Someone In Trouble!!!
*That is a rational and constant fear for ALL Black People; not just the men.* We really do have to be on guard every second; we can never truly rest. Then we have situations like that murderous cop amber gueger who burst into Botham Jean's apartment or the murderers who did the same to Brionna Taylor, and we realize *if you're Black in this country, there is NO safe refuge at all; not even your own home.* And yet, white people ask why we're angry. 🙄😣
That a riveting three quarters of an hour. Ronnie & Roy as a 65 years Caucasian your show really helped me to a fuller understanding of what is at stake. I think it was in 1961 when I was six years old that I met a boy who became an instant life long friend of mine. His name is Jim Andrews and his father white and his mother is Japanese. They met in Japan during WWII. Our first thing is we both thought it was so cool that we were born on the exact same day half a world apart. I was fascinated by his mother’s culture and how he lived with two loving parents who had wildly different experiences growing up. At the time I knew nothing about racism. I only knew I had an instant friend. His being an Japanese American never was never a bad thing or something either us were ashamed of or regretted. I have not Jim in awhile and watching the show made me think I need to reach out to him and see how he is doing. Thank Ronnie and Roy or Roy and Ronnie for a great show that made me think I need to do more to make our country a better place to live .
You should reach out.
Yeeee
Ronnie Chan’s opening line was epic. This was great.
On another thought-yes-I’ve seen Asian reporters my whole life, but I’ve rarely seen Asian Americans with the opportunity to speak out on behalf of anti-Asian sentiments.
That's because most Asian American news reporters are nothing more than talking heads for their white boss. They do what they're told to do, not what they think they should do, or risk getting fired and black listed in the industry.
@@bobbymoss6160 most jobs are that.... and assimilation...
Sadly people did the same thing after 9/11. Hate crimes against those of middle eastern ancestry rose that year and multiplied 5 fold in following years. They have always used fear to perpetuate hate. It isn’t ok. It is disgusting.
agree 100%
That's how the enemy is able to conquer by promoting division through hate!💯
It's obscene
Facts
And the morons went after South Asians too
Not surprisingly, this was magnificent. Would that we could all be this introspective and honest about racism (and funny). Roy Wood, Hr. and Ronny Chieng, knocking it out of the park again (or slam dunking, if you prefer, Ronny).
We definitely can be, if we decide to. It is a choice, not an inborn trait.
@ Ashley Stearns
Love your sense of humor!!💯
Love these guys.Keeping it REAL!
In Middle School, they taught us, _indisputably,_ that slavery was _central_ to the Civil War. We watched _Roots._ But even though I have studied Japanese and Korean fighting styles, and accordingly, learned how to count to ten in Japanese and Korean, and learned a variety of basic phrases in Japanese, and I've also learned a variety of basic phrases in Mandarin, I really can't tell you a whole lot about Asian American history.
Indeed, I even went to school with numerous Asian students, but we never spoke to each other. I never learned (in high school) the differences between Japanese, Korean, Chinese or Vietnamese.
Yes, let's make this a more extensive part of the education curriculum in this country. I mean _Black_ Americans, _Asian_ Americans, _Latin_ Americans and _Native_ Americans are all _Americans._ Their history is _American_ history. You can't really say you know _American_ history if your understanding does not also include _theirs._
Well said.
Actually, “American History” is rather a branch of European history, a mixture of colonization, expansion, but also flight from famine or persecution.
All worth to be known, but the label “American” history should cover all of what you described, Native Americans naturally coming first.
Welll-said indeed. Also, great screen name!
I just saw this. Beautifully said!
Very well said
Really glad you're covering this. How about doing a similar treatment with Native American guests? No shortage of topics there.
Back when John Stewart ran the show he interviewed Native Americans about the slur "redskins." They all broke it down so well. I had no idea but at the same time wasn't surprised by the history of that word. Weeks later, the issue of whether the football team should change their name ended up being a topic on my writing exam! I graduated college with the help of the Daily Show!
YES! This, this, this!
YES PLEASE ! Native Americans are the group with the least representation in the media.
@Mountain Goddess how about some description of your link, you're either a bot posting links or this is a topic of interest and a description of why it would be of interest to other readers would be an essential inclusion
@@qianasilver886 - oh, WOW... so, you also just answered their problem about how to make asian history interesting for kids -- use a comedian to break the ice on each topic...and make it relevant to what the kids might encounter on their lives -- such as team names/logos, etc...
This is such a great dialogue. As one who is mixed, of Filipino, Northern European and African descent, I deeply appreciate the dialogue and sharing of great information about work being done and collaborations occurring that benefit all of us.
So proud of him as a fellow Malaysian 😀✌🏻
Frick I'm proud of him as a Singaporean, more importantly as a fellow Southeast Asian!
Noticed his emphasis on voting blocks. It could well be a Malaysian thing after all the training from our politicians.
Ronny and Roy, you guys have the biggest fans in tiny And very white Southern Oregon city. You guys are one huge reason my Latino kids survived high school in this tiny town surrounded by T supporters. Thank you from mom. ❤️
Roy Wood Jr.,
Thank you for being so open and sharing yours and other's thoughts. This segment is beyond needed. Thank you and bless you all at The Daily Show.
Agreed. Roy, you are doing a wonderful job with the podcast. Very much appreciated and keep up the conversation, it's so needed!
The Daily Show does an incredible job of attracting attention to issues that may not be seen in daily life by all Americans. I love this addition to The Daily Show, providing a deeper look into the subjects that affect so many people in the U.S. and worldwide. People can understand what they don't personally know, when given the information and experiences of others. Great Addition!
Yes, love it that Trevor Noah thought it important to add this 'segment' to his show!!
What a guy!!💯
I just explained one aspect of privilege to my 11 year old son thanks to this video. As a 41 year old white man, I would help the Asian woman without any addition "tiers" to my thinking. I might be concerned my saftey from the individuals attacking her, but fear of the police honestly wouldn't enter my mind.
I cannot even get my older white male friends to understand that. It really is that simple... but they are intentionally misinformed.
As an African American educator, thank you. ✌👍🏽💛💛💛
Im " White" . I helped a man against a thief in the street. I reached the thief and blocked It. The owner of the phone was thanking me while police come and arrest me without questioning ,, maybe It is because my dreadlock?
@Mountain Goddess - Honey, if you don't tell us what it is, we're not gonna fall for it. Downvoted.
@@AbsentWithoutLeaving She's spamming it on comments, so ...
If there is one positive thing to come out of this pandemic and the shutdowns, it is that we were finally in a position to pay attention and to share our thoughts and experiences in a way most of us didn’t have time to do before just because we were suddenly awash in free time.
We need to continue the conversations and continue to learn from one another. I’d love to see cross cultural student exchanges, summer cultural immersion camps, and other similar activities to encourage young people to broaden their horizons.
Ronny speaks on the importance of representation and how before him, we had no one in media to push back against the racism Asians have faced forever in media and in society.
"I'm from Queens..." with a Queens accent. Mic drop!
The graphic novel approach to history for small kids is awesome. I can tell you that what small kids find riveting is learning about unfairness, and the truth if taught with care will be riveting to them.
You guys are warriors. I cannot pretend to understand how hard you both work.
Like the media complain about MSG in Chinese food. But they never talk about MSG in Doritos, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Campbell's Soup, etc.
Exactly
Education is the most useful tool, here. When we moved to CA, from KS when I was young, there were so many cultures I had never been aware of. It made me so curious about ethnicity, and people. I think we avoid thinking about it because it makes us feel kinda dumb. Early info can help with this.
Felt that way moving from PA to NC, to OH, then to IA. Every where you go there are obvious differences. Living in a PA Dutch culture has had it's adjustments.
Army brat here. Realized at about 5th grade that my world view was very different from my small town classmates. Grateful for that aspect of my life experience because it broadened me.
I agree. But I also think that when there is a language barrier, we sometimes falsely assume that people who struggle to communicate well must somehow be more simplified, less nuanced.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know other cultures and educate yourself. ❤️🤘
I lived in the same state my entire life, but I grew up poor. Because of that I've had the pleasure of getting to now people from several different races & ethnicities.
"how do you know so much about US politics?" I"M FROM QUEENS
I like this way better than the Daily Show, if I'm honest. Roy and Ronny are international treasures, but the more in depth discussion of a topic feels so much more productive to me. So much more educational. 💕
True...but I still miss the show and Trevor
I hope they keep this, but I want Trevor and the comedy back as well.
If I being honest. I love roy and Ronny but I don't really find Trevor funny
No it's about the same... Not better just different.
This was such a great conversation. Come for the takedown of some BS racists, stay for the in-depth thoughts on race relations and the steps to overcome them.
That's amazing! The fact that not just Chinese people got upset with this but everybody did it's those moments that really show that this is truly the United States it just depends on what happens that makes it feel like it's United
Unfortunately the fear of being attacked is still real. My elderly Asian parents are scared to walk in their neighborhood in CA so they're sort of trapped at home, even after we were vaccinated and a bit more free.
I also live in CA. See if their area is doing what we are here. Younger people volunteer to go out on the errands and stuff with them as a buffer. It's sad we have to do this now.
I’m so sorry. Devastating.
@@caligirl90, it's beautiful that people are reaching out and acting as a buffer, but it's sad that they can't go out themselves out of fear.
I’m also from CA and I’m sorry your family is going through this.
I live CA. To be honest my mother has felt that way her whole life and she isn't even Asian. There is solidarity in this type of pain. I think Asian Americans need to know they aren't alone. A lot of ethnic groups have gone through these types of situations. The native and black American population are especially familiar. I just hope after this is all over most in the Asian community don't retract into isolation, but rather see commonality in the many struggles going on right now.
Well. Just wanna add my experience here. I came from China when I was 15. People ridiculed me for just being Chinese in school quite often, and I was cool with it because I thought that was how Americans interacted and sometimes I thought the jokes were funny too. Frankly, I think I was a very confident person so those jokes didn’t affect me at all. But now with the rising tensions between China and the US, plus covid and increasing Asian hate crimes, and I have a kid that I need to raise and protect, I no longer find those racist jokes funny and start to fight against racisms for a better future for our kids.
What a great segment! Ronny is absolutely right sometimes it’s hard to explain what minorities feel but other minorities get it, even if they are not from the same group and that’s what we need to focus on! Our similar experiences and stand together to change the system. Education is vital!
Big up to Roy Wood Jr. for this discussion. It’s easy to blame Blacks for the Asian hate crimes but not so simple to breakdown where the racism stems from in the US.
We are all in a Roman arena fighting for our place in America. Let’s talk, unite and fight the power instead of each other.
Ronnie and Roy are gems...
These correspondents are killing it 💪💪💪💪
I love Beyond the Scenes.. sometimes even more than the actual Daily Show. I like Trevor but my favourites are all the correspondents. All of them are so funny but YT rarely show their field pieces anymore.
The best part of the Daily Show.
Ronny Cheing, Roy Wood Jr., Desi Lydic, Jordan Klepper, Stephan Colbert, Amber Ruffin, Trevor Noah, and John Oliver, are some of the best mainstream comedians/ journalists, out there shining a light on the despots around the globe.
Hasan minhaj
@@BarbaraDr2023 yes! and I forgot John Stewart
There should be no such thing as comedian/journalists. Two occupations that don't go together.
This is as delicious as the daily show
Hey you got a cool name. Also amen, this is some of my favorite content
Keep ‘em coming Pastor Roy!!! I’m loving the “Between the scenes” deep dives!
I really appreciate how diverse the team is, it really makes a huge difference to have people who are part of a community and history expressing their opinions on these topics. Not to mention how proud it feels to have this representation 😊😊
Great piece. I think the education about the history of minorities in the US would be useful outside the US as well. The knowledge about other people's experiences can be a foundation for developing empathy for others.
I love how everything in Roy's world is relatable to fast food. Man after my own clogged heart
Big fan of Roy in this format. His passion is more clear here than any other time I’ve seen his work. Not to take too much away from his comedy but this allows me to view him completely differently and I enjoy it.
Roy is a fantastic podcast host. His time working on radio really shows, the flow is great!
Not to mention that smooth voice...
An amazing piece. Thank you for this!
15:00 Roy: I will not use the word, you may .... Ronny Chieng: Isn't it weird how we tiptoe around _quoting the president_ in case it would be a slur ? - This !
Words are just words. They only have the power you give them. The fact that they won't say the alleged Whitehouse phrase "Kung flu" is on them. Donald Trump never walked around using that phrase. He did say China virus constantly. That's where it originated though. Spanish flu, China virus, etc. It's not a new way to name disease. I would love to see the study showing the 150% increase in hate crime towards Asians after trump said anything. I can't seem to find it.
I love this segment. Thanks for talking about it. I loved Ronny taking down that terrible Fox segment, and it's hilarious that he had a whole line of people just waiting to talk about it. I've found that a lot of older East and Southeast Asian people are quite informed, but what they struggle with are English verb conjugations (many of their languages don't conjugate). When I converse with them, dropping my conjugations can help them focus on the words.
Yeah, likely because their native languages do not have much in terms of conjugation (or it doesn’t work the same as in English) or tenses even. As an Asian child learning English, I remember having to make a conscious effort learning those.
That was my all time favorite Ronny segment ever...and one of the most hated Fox segments too..
LOVE that this came out..I knew he had some awesome times down there talking to people like they were human.
That was a great way to end this important conversation Roy, with the DMV analogy. Thank you all so much for this behind the scenes. I'm a big fan of all of you! Much love!
Thank you for this conversation and for bringing on Norman Chen.
Great conversation! So many insights, layers, and education in this piece! Ronny Chieng and Roy Wood Jr., thank you for your genius, your empathy -- and please keep Beyond the Scenes rolling.
Roy Wood Jr. I salute you for acknowledging the fact that some black folks took part in the anti-asian sentiment. That is being black and objective at the same time, which is quite rare nowadays in media in my opinion.
I am black and I hate to see that! Those folks are a shame to society! They are incapable to understand that they are the weapons of those who hate them.
How can you be a victim and then victimized innocent people?
When I first saw this piece on Fox, I wondering how many levels of people okayed that content, and that was awful in it itself, like NO one stopped and said this was not ok?
I need a podcast of ronnie and Roy just conversing high af
I concur.
@A P can't you just find the remote or are you stuck between old people banter and CZcams?
@A P - Where are you going with this segue?
@A P - I don't want to guess and possibly get it wrong. I want to better understand you. That is why I am asking you, rather than just making false assumptions.
So what was your point in referencing CNN?
@A P So…there’s a singular possessive pronoun “your” and a present tense verb (with contraction) “you’re”. The former denotes ownership but the latter indicates an action. It would be beneficial for you to learn the difference, you native English speaker/bot.
Troll alert.
So much love for Roy & Ronny. Thanks so, so much for including captions with these! 🖤
Ronny was already my favourite current correspondent. Love how this conversation shows his thoughtful side in a quieter, non-yelly way (don't get me wrong, him yelling is like chicken soup for my soul). And that Chinatown field piece in question - I still go back to it once in a while. So to answer Roy's question about whom the piece was targeting - I'd like to think (even though Ronny didn't say this) part of it was targeted at Asian Americans. A solidarity thing. When I feel hurt or attacked for being Asian, it really helps me to know someone else is getting mad on my behalf. So, even if unintentionally, maybe it was more about standing with the victims than criticising Fox News.
I thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed this thoughtful discussion. I’m sensing a trend. New fan here. Love your concept. Thanks.
I love these Beyond the Scenes. They are my new favorite shows, and I am so glad you've started doing them. Thank you so much.
Love this. Thank you so much for having a conversation.
Love the work you all do.
Keep us sane, informed,
and a little laugh every once in a while doesn’t hurt.
The most important part, information !
Thanks.
This is a fantastic conversation, thank you for sharing this!!
We whites need to see more of this: people of color discussing things without us. Telling us, what is going on and what should be done about it. It's refreshing to feel like there are some issues in the world that you are not an expert in and that you can just listen and join in.
Thank you my white brother!
Exactly, Otso.
Apropos of that, this is the reason the only daytime talk show I watch is *The Real Daytime* because it is Women of Color (Black, Mixed, Latina & Asian) who talk about everything. They don't have to hide their spiritual side nor do they have to worry about some entitled person taking every subject personally because she 1) is NOT the center of the universe, or, 2) feels guilty about whatever the subject may be. It really does make a difference. *Listen More; Talk & Take Over LESS.* 🥰🤗
Thank you for this format! I've learned so much in all of these talks AND had a lot of fun!
We need more of these!!!
I'm really enjoying your podcasts, Roy. Thank you!
I'm watching these interviews, listening to all the thought that goes into these pieces, and I can't help but think this is the very best team of people I've ever seen. Y'all are the best of us. I love how you are like this unit of the best representation of what our country is supposed to be about. People who are committed to telling truth, but also helping us laugh at ourselves. I just love everything y'all do. Live long and prosper.
Thank you for posting, this is fantastic
Wow! Needed this honest, real talk, thanks Ronny and Roy!
I love Roy and Rhonny working together .Great conversation. The Daily show did it again👏🏾👍🏿🙂
This was awesome and dearly needed ty guys!
I love it. Anxiously waiting for next segment.
Love from Nilai, N. Sembilan, Malaysia!
The original piece made me very happy. You two are so very needed in the fights against racism. THANK YOU!
This was great. Would love more of these!
I'm loving this series. I like hearing about how you all put together your segments and your experiences working on these stories.
Thanks!
This is a great format and a great first episode. I'm very happy to Roy and Ronny being more serious and still being funny. I'm glad that the internet allows The Daily Show to have a broader range of work for people to show than just the central show. Keep up the great work of trying to help people keep it real.
It's the third or fourth show like this that I've seen. Maybe I'm on the wrong timeline.
Amazing conversation. These guys are both awesome humans. Keep up the great work.
This was great guys!!!! It's fantastic to hear this side of things!!! Please keep it up!!! 👍🏾👍🏾
I LOVE this new segment. Thank you so much.
I saw that piece when it originally aired. I loved Ronnie Cheing. He's the best.
Thank you! This is great! I hope everyone watches this and that people learn something new from this. I know I did!
Thanks for this rony & roy ! I generally loved seeing you two talk about this.
That was one of the best programs you have done! Wow. Wow. We are really lucky to have these kinds of subjects brought to light in such a great way. Keep up the great work.
I've never received a notification for this. It's great.
Can you imagine the two of them doing a podcast? Sweet Jesus, do it.
Not just a podcast. The original idea of just a camera in their office and seeing the best cuts of them being them. That's what I want. This was great, but it could quickly become just another podcast.
im here for it!...
Yo I can’t get enough of these BEYOND the scenes 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 great job Roy
Thank you Roy and Ronny, I'm loving these segments, please do more of them.👏 👍
Just started reading Lies My Teacher Told Me and the first chapter on Woodrow Wilson showed the connection between how racist he was and how such a moral failing from the top led to more racism in the country. Talk about history repeating itself. Felt eery reading it
Roy is killing it
Very well done. That's really what I'm really looking for. Nice new presentation. Thanks Roy and Ronnie. Funny, yet very sober and informative.
United we stand, divided we fall...
Having these conversations is a great start. Thanks for the video!
