Trevor is cut from a different cloth. He is one of the most intelligent comedians of this generation. I am so proud of everything he has achieved so far in his career.
I completely agree. I have watched him ever since I found him years ago. 😊
Well said. Highly intelligent about the world and crazy funny.
@@littleninjai222you😢
You've described him perfectly ❤🎉
I just love everything he does,infact he is so intelligent
Him not swearing is the reason why I love his comedy so much ❤🎉
Not only, I hope 😉 (me too, actually)
Those comedians telling Trevor is arrogant have no idea how many lives Trevor has touched. First time i watched his comedy on youtube in about 2015-2016. Since then i have been watching every video Trevor Noah is in,including all episodes of The Daily Show. He is the comedian i found out about the history of South Africa from, he helped me learn about the recent presidents of the USA. Of course he was not the only source of all that knowledge, but generally he was the one who got me interested to know more about his people. I believe he deserves to be acknowledged. Btw, I am from Kazakhstan.
Just like me I never looked back I just want more and more
Same here! I'm from Uruguay, South America 🧉
He's one of the best intellectual comedians I have ever seen in my life!!!
An Iconic storyteller!!!
Thank you for saying this! I think the same way.
Trevor is the all package: decent, compassionate, loving, intelligent, funny, ambitious and just freaking entertaining.
Seeing this again in 2023 after the success Trevor Noah has had in his comedy career in just inspiring.
Yes Master. ⚔
He's definitely not going back to being broke. He made it! Multimillionaire... and in dollars.
It funny how some of those veteran comedians used throw shades on Trevor back then and undermining him. Now he is doing far much better than all combined. Hosted the Daily show for 7 years, Grammys, Oscars etc and we still haven't heard about them 😂😂🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trevor was just born for this. Not everyone's journey is necessarily going to be the same.
I feel sad to those unknown (to me) comedian who say that Trevor is arrogant. I can't find anything arrogant about Trevor Noah he is just very funny and intelligent stand up which makes him stand out compare to them.
I'm so grateful for Trevor. He provides representation and voice for people who don't belong anywhere and yet feel they belong everywhere. I was born in Afghanistan and grew up amongst refugees and immigrants around the world and ended up in the US. I have seen the shapes and impacts of oppression throughout the world. I've learned the roles place, skin color, wealth play, accent, culture, etc play in our lives. To have someone else who sees all this, who understands all this, speak to it and represent it so beautifully is uplifting. Also, humans can become really small when they're intimidated.
and yet, what i love about him, he is processing it on an inner level, not trying to intimidate anyone, just adress and call out. i love this humane way of approaching it. and absolutely YES, it resonates with so many "lost" souls around the globe, who feel like they belong nowhere inspite (or because of) being a part of several cultures/places. deep, deep respect and gratitude to this great man. and his mom. 👑
Trevor has made the world a better place
Omg... I agree 100%. I fully understand (or it's better if I say "feel") what you said. I'm half Italian (my dad) and half South African (my mum)...
I am sorry for the hardship you suffered.
I know we're here because of comedy, but I just can't stop thinking about that, and about all the refugees trying to reach a safer place to call home.
I send you my love and support.
Cinzia
You hit it right on the head. True statement!!@@
When a man isn't ashamed of where he comes from, he goes far. Trevor, your journey is what every celebrity needs to study.
Trevor is not arrogant. He is the best. I learn new things every time listening to his speech.
I have watched many comedians. No one comes close to Trevor. The way he performs is very unique. Plus, he is a very smart man.
Oh gee, we've never heard of those guys that dissed Trevor. Trevor Noah is an international comedy star.
I love the family interactions. The mom is precious. She is one secure lady with a million dollar smile. She is the definition of resilience.
Trevor Noah is special, there isn't always the same path in this business. I'm Russian, and I love Trevor Noah, how smart he is, how unique he is, how talanted he is. He reaches out to ppl of different nations, statuses and so on. I've read his book, seem performances - touching. He is amazing.
I'm not famous, I am a teacher, but I know how older generation looks at you and say that you are arrogant and too young, what can you know about this or that. Somebody just have skills and talent, doesn't mean you have to have a big experience.
As a 48yr old SA white, I really really enjoy his work. Watching him feels like home.
You've really rised above all odds Trevor. So your taxi got stolen when you were 22years old you make the stats now and your Mom got shot that stats too with not much punishment on those who inflicted harm. I have same 2 cases to this day no one was arrested for my car and my brother shooting💔. You have paved the way for one man show in South Africa and it was brilliant you nailed it despite all the critics👊✌. And thank you for teaching the world about South Africa and Africa as a continent 🇿🇦🙏. Your material is pure because it's what you've been through ya whole life✌👌. But with the Goddesses like your Granny and Mom you wouldn't get lost, they instilled love in you and family and it shows how you all get along 😄❤you never forget where you came from. Humble and down to earth as always. I like your rebelious ways though of not wanting to be told what to joke about and what not to say and what to say👊💪.you were right to put your feet down and make a stand 👏👏👏. I can ramble whole day /big essay 😅😂but no necessary. You've made us proud 🇿🇦🙏and have represented us in many ways🇿🇦. Thanks for making this documentary too.🇿🇦much love👌🙌💪👊✌👌👏👏
Trevor Noah is the man with a calling to shake the world's perspectives on many issues. This is year 2023 and i can tell that the man has delivered the message and it is loud and clear.
Trevor always speaks from his heart, never shys from the truth. He cuts thru the BS of humanity down to the bone with compassion and grace. Integrity shines from the inside out. ❤ ❤❤
Trevor proved many people wrong...Especially those who did stand up before him (gatekeeping tendencies)
I loved this documentary,He doesn't ever forget where he came from and he loves his people!!! He deserves a good life wherever he chooses!!!
I am so glad I came across this. Trevor was younger, trying to survive, learning languages and skills to become what he became today. It ain't easy at all, and he didn't just do it, he did it with style.
I am 100% a Trevor Noah fan. I was reading the comments, clicking UP to every comment until I realized that we ALL love this man. I hope he is able to read these comments (at this writing there are 424). Trevor, if ever you feel down about yourself or have a moment of self doubt, read these. They will remind you of who you are to so many of us and how you have brightened our lives.
I laughed, I cried, smiled, paused and laugh again. Talented humble soul.
Those other comedians negatively commenting on Trevor's character when nobody even knows who they are 🤣🤣🤣 that old man didn't mash his words
Yeah neh, Proves that one really has to do things differently to get different results.
Those other comedians were SO JEALOUS! My goodness!
True, however when one’s path is ordained by God, one shines. Trevor did exceptionally well & continues to soar 👏🏾👏🏾
The comedians yes,but Trevor stole the show!!! He has so much charisma, He's such a likeable guy! He so educated about everything, He's so impressive!!!
Trevor.... This is a PERSONAL message to you... My niece (White) married and had two children with an isiXhosa man, an absolute top drawer human being - investigative journalist of note, and their son incidentally, looks the spitting image of you (I teased dad about the likeness in looks of TN in the son, if it didn't perturb him : his succinct reply was : "Oh we all know Trevor Noah is a Naughty man"!!!) The son and daughter look coloured but are strong isiXhosaians... And dead proud of it... Their father had origins in Qunu (Nelson Mandela country - also from same clan - Madiba - he and Mandela (Grandson of NM) herded goats together in Qunu District)....
Love your honesty and loyalty and pride to your ethnicity...
One last thing - my mom's (French Hugenot stock to little British Protectorate Rhodesians/Zambians - ie. us... Offspring) response to cheekiness in any form was : "Ek klap jou dat jy trek!"... "Ek klap jou dat jou tandem wissel"...
Love how you introduce the different ethnic groups together so naturally, with humor...
You are a great man and I am a HUGE fan... DO NOT LET ANYONE CALL YOU ARROGANT... JEALOUSY MAKES THEM NASTY...
Sad that gogo is no more. Nothing beats gogo’s love. 💜
How do u know that gogo is no more'?
Just bcuz it didn't work for you until after 20yrs, sir, doesn't mean it won't or can't in less time for someone else. Appreciate the fact that your hard work paved the way for younger future generations to have a better easier time instead of being upset that it is easier and shorter. May God bless and keep Trevor Noah. He's in a class all by himself. Amen
I wonder where are those comedians that were against Trevor doing a one man show now. And the talent manager? It’s a good thing Trevor didn’t listen to them.
How he relates to his past through his comedy is simply amazing. People say truth hurts but he has managed to bring out the truths of life in such a funny and lovable way ..Respect to Trevor !!

Recap by Tammy AI
Trevor Noah, all time favourite comedian. I think he should be recognised as the icon of stand up comedy. He deserves it
Funny how we see the outcomes and think maybe they had it easy but this documentary shows it all, still can't believe he was a taxi driver Yooh Trevor ngiyakuvuma uliqhawe and what's so refreshing is how you never forget where you came from Viva DW Viva...May the Lord continue showering you with blessings and everyone who's reading this comment I wish you success and fortune
You can see why Trevor is such a humble guy. He comes from very humble background. Never forget your roots and he doesn't. May God bless him. I like Trevor Noah.
Trevor Noah took lemons and made lemonade...
I am happy that Trevor was able to show the world that Africa is beautiful, diverse, rich and intelligent.
Those who says Noah is arrogant is clearly threatened. What Noah has, is deliberate conviction to succeed and do and be the best to blast his way to a better future for himself and family through success. Look at Trevor today; top in the game globally, roasting President of USA at correspondents gala, hosting on TV,.. Etc. He's gifted, blessed and he knew his mission very early on and he's firmly on the right path. Great job Noah. 🙏😇👏❤️
Trevor Noah is the most interesting person in South Africa
My favorite comedian in the world
My mum always wondered why I insisted on watching him on Tv because she couldn't understand the comedy...
He's absolutely beautiful and his delivery is perfection
No one has a recipe for success bigup to Trevor for pushing the boundaries while the old comics where too comfortable l can sense the racism also on the white ones
Having a mom like her, Trevor was bound to succeed bro. Wow.❤
Yes he was. She is tough, but very loving.
Trevor is one well-read, conscious, exceptional storyteller. I wish him well. 💞🔥✊🏿
Trevor is absolutely the best at helping me understand so many things - cultural differences especially. We need more Trevor’s in our world!!!
I love Mom's voice... WOW sounds so authoritative. Live life to the full... Yes Mom
And be responsible
“ It took me 20 years” 😂 Tnx Trevor for proofing wrong all of these stereotypes.
That moment with his mom at the kitchen table discussing her near death was intense. Trevor was tense and obviously wished he could control things.
I saw Trevor on Miami Beach for the Daily Show. He was amazing.
Can't believe even Trevor had haters
Watching the other comedians talk shit about Trevor made me think of a fitting german term: Armutszeugnis. It describes the way someone shows their own incapability and/or poorness of spirit through their actions or words, often without even noticing it.
One of the best docies ever. Trevor Noah, GOAT...
Whole new appreciation for Trevor after watching this. No wonder he was a bit of a rebel, he has his Mother's blood running through his veins! Beautiful family ❤ brilliant documentary 👏 👏
Only Trevor can tell the adversities of life and harsh realities in a humorous way...his comedy is a way much above than any motivational speeches...shows how to look at life with a different perspective and face challenges.... Keep going .. You have touched the hearts of many...creating history.. It's astonishing how a person can see humor in such har conditions
Read his novel, watched his Netflix specials and I'm so happy I'll be able to see him live in June. What a talent. Thank you for posting this documentary.
Fellow South African here.
Trevor is a fantastic human being.
His life is proof that your past does not determine your future.
And all the naysayers ....... Sour grapes aint tasteful ne ??
Trever Noah is a sharp wit and razor sharp, quick, intelligence.
Of course, he scares people. He tells truth. And gives an opportunity to see it from his own particular experience. That's empathy, right?
Trevor is the best comedian in the world man. When you wanna talk pure talent man can't even think of anyone else I just wish he wasn't far left and that
I've always loved Trevor but now I have the most respect for him🙌🙌
Such a star you are Trevor. You inspire many beyond the South African borders!
Having bought and read your book, seeing you prior to your US time, seeing you the daily show and streaming it from RSA, this documentary was still seriously educating and I got the chance to put faces to the names I've heard you talking about before. I've always been a supporter but now I'm even prouder of all your success and achievements.
This was a really good documentary, i can't believe he was sitting on this much footage... his interactions with his mom were so nice😂
I tell u, im like why am I seeing this now 😢
this guy is such an inspiration..from nothing to something a south african legend with a great story just love him
Wow Trevor's mom is gushing wisdom,Trevor thank you for opening up your life. I have learned a lot
I first saw Trevor in London in 2009 and was blown away by his clever, cuss free delivery. Love this guy and i wish he would come to Auckland we need some laughs! Please Trevor 🙏
I feel like all the words of love I wanted to express here have already been written down in their most beautiful way. So I'm more than happy to just silently join in and share that love ❤️
Sometimes the old guys are jealous of the younger guys and don't realise that their start might've taken 10 or 20 + years but doesn't mean the young guy will also wait so long
Are we not going to talk about how beautiful his mother is? Jeez was a killer back in her 20s. And now she is gorgeous. Great body great skin beautiful face. I want to be like her at her age,
Your mum is a beautiful human! Good luck, my friend!
I love how his comic friends have international careers.
Trevor is great! 👍 I still miss his presence on the Daily Show. Best of luck to him.
Trevor is a genius. He expesses what so many feel and has a brilliant perspective about life and how all of us can live with grace and joy. Thank you Trevor. You have my heart!!!!¡
Trevor's mom though🎉 wow..❤
Been watching this since 2014 and i never get tired of it.
It was absolugtely amazing that Trevor was chosen by wonderful John Stewart to host the Daily Show! That was an exceptional choice all around and Trevor blended right in and delivered fantastically well. Smart, educated, talented, relevant, respectful, classy, humble and so so funny! I could go on and on. He is still sorely missed on the Daily Show by his faithful former worldwide audience. Yes Trevor is part of me too, my father is Swiss German as well! His mother did a great job raising this darling man. My little brother Trevor Noah, I am so proud of him.
I had a lot of mixed emotions. Didn't laugh I just listened to his voice. His words. But one thing for sure...I am proud of him
❤
I feel the same. I have never thought of Trevor as arrogant. I loved his book. He is talented in so many ways!
Trevor Noah has an anointing in his life he can't be compared to anyone God has set him apart in his unique craft! Go change the world Mr.Noah❤
Trevor, your mother is still the most beautiful one in the family! But you're the funniest. 🥰
His life story is quite an amazing one! I am proud of him!
Trevor is so relaxed on stage everything seems unrehearsed. He's truly doing what he loves & i like the fact that he's also taking the time to talk to young Americans who have no clue about what life in Africa is like. I mean c'mon who asks: 'do they laugh'?
I always loved Trevor but after watching this documentary I’ve gained so much respect for him. He’s really an awesome human being and such a humble person.
They need a “Where are they now?” about the other bitter comedians 😅
Trevor i love you ! Could you please go and do a show in northern ireland, you could help them get over their shit. ❤
Legend of a comedian
Thank you for making this free ❤
"In Everything Give Thanks"
Thanks for this! I've always been more interested in his South African side, background and early life than his life in USA, and this documentary completes his book perfectly 😀
Fuck what they say!! Trevor has a natural God given talent!. Jealousy makes you nasty!!! We must stop being so jealous of each other!!!
A legend, the greatest of all time.
What I like/love about Trevor's shows is that he doesn't need to swear and be under the belt to make people laugh. His material alone is prime!!!! Well done Trevor.!!!!! Btw I am white and Afrikaans speaking.
Adversities could either make you or break you. The part about doing Corporate gigs is a good example. Trevor is Special in every way and I'm so glad it turned out exceptionally well. Kudos to the channel for the Upload
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
I already knew of his mother being shot but I had no idea it happened while he was preparing for this show 😭 I'm so happy to see Patricia being featured here!
i was actually looking for her injury but didn’t know that was before the accident. maybe that’s were we never see her throughout his daily show tenure
Seeing this after such success, I can see why, he totally heals people with his words😮and jokes. He is smart, yet clever but honest and one of a kind❤
He's the ONE! The Day Walker!!😂🤣
Whao. Indeed his Gift has made him standout globally.
Trevor has done soo well. He deserves it❤
Nothing arrogant about Trevor, on the contrary he is very likeable. Those guys way too jealous
This was an excellent documentary.
Its so satisfying to see almost everybody trying to push you down but forgetting the spring thats under you, once they let go you go as far as your will allows you to.
Trevor, your MOMMA is a phenomenal woman!! Breathe in her strength!!
i believe every nomad immigrant soul can relate to him. and get so much support... love, trevor. ❤ you have no idea how much you mean to people you never met. (and for some of us, where the mixture of "blackness" and "whiteness" is not even obvious cos, in my case it is a mixture of "east post-communist europe" vs "western europe"..) what you talk about and refer to is universal. and archetypal. and deeply human. immense gratitude and respect to you, sir 🙏♥️
