Trevor Noah: One-Man Show in a Divided Country | Breaking Big | OZY

- OZY Media’s third prime-time television show, 'Breaking Big,' explores the unexpected journeys to success of some of the world’s most influential stars.
First up? None other than Trevor Noah, host of 'The Daily Show' on Comedy Central. If you’ve read his memoir, Born a Crime, you know that the famed, mixed-race comedian grew up under apartheid in South Africa, where being mixed race was indeed a crime. Luckily for him, he had a strong parental figure to shield him.
Be sure to tune into OZY and PBS on Friday for revelations on how Noah’s mother, Patricia, escaped death not once, but twice. Watson and Noah discuss the abuse Patricia faced at the hands of her second husband, and her miraculous recovery from a gunshot to the head.
But this fiercest of moms - Noah once told Oprah Winfrey that he was merely his mother’s “punk-ass sidekick” - also faced down a Black racist taxi driver who threatened her and her children. The cabbie threatened Patricia’s life because she had a mixed-race child with her (Noah), and thus had obviously been with a white man. Check out the OZY Flashback by Sean Braswell about this scary incident here: ow.ly/iOYN30kCCmJ - and how Patricia and her boys had to throw themselves out of the moving vehicle to escape harm - as you gear up to watch 'Breaking Big' and learn about Noah’s journey to the top.
'Breaking Big' guests include chef Eddie Huang, actress Danai Gurira, country music star Jason Aldean, SoulCycle and Flywheel cofounder Ruth Zuckerman, fashion designer Christian Siriano and acclaimed author Roxane Gay, among many others.

"If you wait for people to tell you when it's your turn, you'll never get it
That's powerful
Amen Gerrrrr
This hit me hard
H E L L O !!
Aaaahhhhh, I felt deeply
Got to give it to Jon Stewart. He saw and he recognized brilliance.
True
Talent recognizes talent!
Big time. Jon was a visionary in his choice of Trevor, and Trevor's incredible talent and intelligence exceeded all expectations.
Grateful to John Stewart 🙏

I am a South African and I watch this with pride. Tears are following out of my eyes on their own. Trevor put my South Africanness to the world stage. I love you Trev. Keep the flag higher in the air.
I was tearing up the whole time
Is there an Oscar for comedians??? Trevor shud receive one! He is a born talent!
He oozes confidence and together with his humility, I think he can eventually play a big part in bringing the world together
He can start by not stealing other comedians materials first! I think that can contribute to bringing the world a little closer
Jeremy toohey ugh oh of if oh jdkg hs5/52*#,=^?•> Nan lb jx❓🇦🇬🧞♀️
@Jeremy toohey, I agree. His charisma is absolutely memorizing. He already is in fact; a "great leader", his honest, strait forward, grip of reality makes me less afraid of where America has gone the last two years. I cry knowing where our country has headed. I watch TDS to bring me back to reality, knowing sanity is worth fighting for, and we are not alone in knowing what needs to change, and how to accomplish the task.
Yes it was about America. Politicians get away telling lies.
@@kevdavid3962 Did he steal your jokes?
Trevor only smiles at the naysayers and proves them wrong in elegant way.
I became a fan of Noah before Jon Stewart announced him as his replacement for the Daily Show. I love standup comedy and found Noah in YT. I saw one video and immediately looked for everything about him. I fell in love with his material. His outlook on life included me. How he related to his family included me. I found it fascinating that someone who is half white and half black all the way from South Africa had me rolling in laughter to the point my belly hurt yet we were worlds apart.
I noticed how he turned what could have been traumatizing into comedy gold. When Jon Stewart announced his replacement I was surprised but immediately recognized why. Maybe because I wasn't an avid fan of the Daily Show (too busy in life to take such time off) or maybe from the little I did see of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert when I started to pay more attention to politics is why I understood that the outlook and humor of Trevor Noah would fit perfectly on the Daily Show.
I found the backlash from the true avid fans of Jon Stewart interesting and never doubted that despite the numbers going down considerably that Noah was going to reach an audience that was massive compared to Jon Stewart. Noah can reach the world.
Sometimes it is hard to give up your favorite for someone else. Sometimes it is never the same. Fans of Jon Stewart constantly tell me how much better Jon Stewart was. No, he came to the same conclusions in a different way and when he was Noah's age he was virtually unknown. He worked for that admiration for 17 yrs. Let's see 17 yrs from now where Noah will be. I'll be following him closely because I've become an avid fan. The day he chooses his replacement I'm sure I'll be disappointed. It will never be the same.
Veris Perovich well said.. and the guy is intelligent my God!
Me too i became a fan of Noah before Jon stewart announced him as hiss replacement in daily show. I hadnt heard about Jon Stewart:) thx Noah for introducing me to famous Jon Stewart:))
Totally agree 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Following ya 😉

Very well said.
I came to know of daily show because of Trevor Noah...then I discovered John Stewart
Me too.
Same here
Same too
Same
Oh thank goodness, me too! I thought I was alone on this
I am a fan of Trevor Noah. After seeing some of his clips from The Daily Show on CZcams, I setup a Trevor Noah Playlist, yayeah I did!!! This "Trevor Noah - Breaking Big" ended right where I needed it, "Where do you see yourself 20 years from now?"
"I don't do that; I focus on where I am TODAY."
Amen, Trevor, AMEN!!! Today I am a single mom, widowed in a GA emergency room; raising 2 fabulous sons; celebrating my testimony going from wheelchair to walking and chasing 2 Special Needs sons - I'm loving it!!! Thank you, Trevor for giving me the chance to post my story!
❤️
"Often times in life we pursue the dreams of others, we stop one day and wonder why we're unhappy."
My perspective on Trevor's success is that he's not only extremely talented but also isn't entitled. He lived a much harder life than many yet he never got bitter. He's a very positive person. Instead of questioning his success, his peers should learn to adopt his positivity and humility.
Trevor Noah, we appreciate you man.
LOVE TREVOR CONGRATS TO HIS MOM YOU DID GOOD MAMA .
He is the kindest comedy act in his role. Given the cross road to go low or go high, he always surprises me by making the high road funnier. Love him.
Well said
I have been marathon watching the evolution of this phenom, and thinking where have I been ? What have I been missing? So glad Covid 19 brought me some time to "discover" this charming, elegant, thoughtful, and blessed talent. Speaking his truth, our truth, I can't stop studying him. His humility stands out. His insights teach and inspire me with hope. I am grateful that he exists. Long live Trevor Noah. He is more than entertainment. So much more.

I loved Trevor from the start, even when he was nervous, and a bit clumsy on TDS. Not only cute, intelligent, and knowledgeable, he has an optomistic personality that makes him glow. Thank you Trevor Noah for keeping it real.
"iF you wait for people to tell you when it is your turn, you will never get it!"---- So very true
"Have a great parent." Yup. If you are lucky enough to have at least one great parent, be very, very grateful.
Interviewer "Where do you see yourself in 20 years?" Trevor responds "I never do that, " instead I ask where do I see myself now?" like, are we we living the life we want right now? And enjoying it, right as it happens. "ask me that again in 20 years." Trevor Noah
Nice perspective from this video. Thanks @OZY
Be here now. Enjoy the moment and do wait for anyone else's permission. This is your moment.
We're glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out our other episodes of Breaking Big!
Love you Trevor do you still like Pieter Dirk Ys cause I got both your DVD sets
I thought that was brilliant!!👍👍
@@mildredmugisha7158 :
Wow so inspiring
"Never let someone tell you how fast or slow you should move in life"
those white south african comedians were so jealous haha. Love it
Right, I wonder what they're thinking about their comments now, we need someone to do a follow up interview with them. Make them watch what they said first
yes funny if you dont know who the f.. they are but they arrogate to know it better
This guy steals jokes.
Lol. They are always in their feelings...
@@kevdavid3962 jaloers
He is my favorite comedian!! I can watch his same stuff over and over. It's still funny 😂😜😆 Everytime !! I feel he still doesn't have the credit he deserves online. I'm a nursing mother, had my son April 12, 2019. I'm sleep deprived 😴 💤 and going threw first mom growing pains. I turn to his shows, clips , docus and interviews. They make me laugh every time, keeps my sanity. He was doing politics before the show. Some of his best works about the ANC in Africa was amazing. He's built for the job, on the daily show.
The part where that guy says he's not a comedian... is so crazy. You can like Trevor or not but, don't you see people laughing in his shows?.
One of the greatest talents of all times.
Trevor, thank you for staying true to yourself. Much love and admiration . We love you 🤩
We are so proud of your Trevor! With love from Cape Town, South Africa xx
Trevor keep making us proud 🇿🇦 We love you so much 💞❤️
God blessed Trevor's mom with such a good boy and what a great job she did with him!! May your life continue to be blessed in all the things that you do.
The key here was that he loved and respected his mother. They could communicate...they were friends. As he said, "having good parents" How many of us Wish we could have parents that would impact our lives like this. No boo hoo hoo hooing on his part. Just kept it moving and encouraged by his mom even after she was shot in the head.
And also his grandma Coco she's AWESOME
I have fallen in love with Trevor's mom
Me too. 😍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I know people who sit around and hope somebody will fail. They are jealous and want the job themselves. John Stewart rocked when he pick Trevor Noah !!!!
I teared when he almost lost his beloved mother. I can imagine the hurt and the sadness. It's heartbreaking. Indeed it's a miracle that his mother survived the gunshot. Praise the Lord.
Trevor was the perfect choice!
Non but respect for this African legend he inspires us from the motherland, respect all the way from zambia trevoh
I never miss an episode of Daily Show. I love both Stewart and Noah. I love the differences in styles but both are so damn good
love u Trevor...all the way from Namibia.
John Stuart has clarified the meaning of "making a good decision". What a decision John has made, wow!
Watching Trevor in a live show is one of my unforgetable moments because I laughed non stop for one hour. He is really special and gifted.
God Bless Trevor Noah. I am sure many people did not think he could do it but Jon never made a better choice..We love him. He's had an amazing Life experience. He's humble, intelligent and funny. I hope one day he will find someone for himself.
I love this interview.
Comedians are normally very intelligent people.
Tupou Finucane correct! Only those who are smart, brilliant and with the saddest story of the past mostly can make things pretty. Trevor Noah is gorgeously honed for this. More power
The kid is blessed.
N he deserves it.
He has worked hard n long to get here.
Trevor Noah is just makes you relax.
I'm South African and i've pretty much beEn watching TREVOR NOAH'S shows since i was a child but obviously at nine years old i didnt understand him. Now im amazed at such beautiful interesting captivating talent , i wonder why i caught up so late. So its nine years later so i am 18 now and i'm in awe of you Mr Trevor Noah , your shows have kept and brought a smile to my face when i couldn't find a reason to smile. Where ever you are in this world we live in , i hope you come across this comment and know that your changing lives and souls , you bring a sense of sunshine in my life and i pray God continues to bless you tremendously day in and day out. You are officially my role model even though i'm a girl , because you showed and taught me to learn to look within and not see myself from people's judgmental eyes. THANK YOU.
#PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN
Miracle indeed... God Bless You & Your Mother... Queena from Saipan
Oh his mom is so beautiful
Trevor Noah for the 1st President of the world!
I like Trevor’s divine comedy. I have to thank Jon Stewart for giving his seat. All good. He has so much humility and integrity. Blessings always.
Love you Trevor. You make us PROUD...From a sister from Ghana :)
Roseline Asante right!?..we’re extremely proud of him!
He gives me joy every time!
Go high Trevor☝🏿
you inspire me trevor i hope my radio show can make even a fraction of your impact
I was sad. I just moved from a very Racist horrible place. I’ve been arrested. Almost raped. Living in a Beetle infected apartment. I found a new apartment but had no money to move. A family member helped me some but robbed me and I’m stuck not completely moved. I’m a Registered Nurse with a broken back. Breast cancer that Spread. I also have Scarscoid the disease that claimed Bernie Mac. My Heart is very weak. I have a severely delayed son with Autism. Then I’m listening to this and I hear Trevor’s mother say,” we must move on”. Then I realized I must move on. I need to finish moving and my Landlords want to keep my Security deposit. I will take her advice and move on. Thank You
I hope u r in a better place now
Love Trevor Noah, I was lucky to catch his stand up tour when he came to Singapore, best experience 💚
Fantastic interview. I admire Trevor so much. Truly one of kind and just a genuinely all around really, really good person.
Such an intelligent, kind, and gifted young man...a thinking person's comic. Thoroughly enjoy every video of him. God bless his mother and grandmother. Don't get out to see many movies but plan to make an extra effort to see the one in the works about his life growing up.
The music is too loud. I barely can hear what you are saying.
I grow from your responsive, responsible humor. I like using humor to reach out and relate and to set limits. Thank you for showing me how. You are our breath of fresh air, Noah. It’s a way out of trauma even if it’s temporarily angry.
What Trevor Noah is doing right now with his "Social Distancing" episodes is amazing. Not only a comedian, Noah is a well-rounded, wise and empathetic person. It is to be hoped that his broadcasting of the ludicrous and tragic (especially at this point in history) political grandstanding by Trump will educate a great many people. Let's elect a much much more intelligent and capable President next time around.
So much information , knowledge , a genius... love him.... love ya Trev..... Perth Australia
He has great sense of humour and none of his jokes are cruel. I think this is why I like to watch him.
LOVE YOU Trevor!!!! You got the right idea....Keep it moving forward and living in the NOW!
Trevor Noah is great. Whoever mixed the sound on this video needs practice. It's hard to hear what they're saying over the music, and then every minute or so you just get blasted with sound.
Traci King I thought I was the only one who felt that. Yes, I get to the point I have to use Earphone just trying to really listen the conversation, only to find out it's still the same thing, on some point even worse as the music beat really overpowering the conversation sound.

Agreed
Am not alone
It was difficult for me too. I thought I was just getting old. Thank you for your comment. I'm not loosing my hearing...
Fantastic. Loved this.
Wow. What a story!!!!
Loved this interview.... you see ... I started watching the daily show only one year earlier from John Stewart retirement... and I notice how Trevor was good when he was introduced to us by John and he is my favorite after John.. God bless them both...
Foot note: I watch Noah, when John ran the show.. From the first delivery, he made, I was hooked.. I knew then that watching Trevor Noah would and has brought me countless hours in laughter.. So to all the avenues that life streams by us all, thanks for finding me and others..
I'm in love with Trevor Noah....such brilliance.
Really enjoyed this documentary! the content , music, and scenes ❤️ Great work
Ohh we trust and enjoy watching him.
Intelligent, charisma, and easy on the eye what else does he need?? Love it!
Trevor is a person who made himself with his mum's teaching. God bless you. 😊
I love Trevore Noah & this show!Thank you very much for introducing Trevor Noah more!
I love Trevor he is such a joy to life and also he is such a brilliant soul. I love him. He has that special power in him that not everyone posses. He is so unique and a delight. He has stories and talent and he is so righteous. Grateful for his existence.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏
Trevor I love your smile man! Like the smile of the man in ' Gods must be Crazy'! Great!
Trevor,you are everything that Humanity should be about, You are Brilliant.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The music is too loud we cannot hear the voice interviewed ... Thanks anyways we like Trevor !!!!
Awww Trevor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
People are jealous of Trevor Noah x I think he is funny and a comic go Trevor
I know one Dam thing. This young man knows more about this country, it's people and systems in such a short period of time than "most" of the Americans here. A M A Z I N G !! Too bad for the old white African that said Trevor was too arrogant. Now, eat some Crow.
The background music is too loud so I just enjoyed looking at Trevor’s.
nice interview! well done! 👍👍
Trevor look like his mom.
Your delivery “ on point “ your slant view , unmatched!!! Keep it up and GOD bless
he's so witty. love all of your videos Trevor.
Wow! I wish this segment was stretched to an hour! Loved it.
Mel Miller sounds salty about his mediocrity 😂
brilliant!
I love this man. He is a naturally honestly funny comedian.
There's honest humor and his real life stories are incredibly great.
I'd really love to meet him before this covid-19 takes me 6 feet under!!
Wish I could hit the "like" button as many times all over again.
...can't wait to meet you bro
So proud of you Trevor Noah, God saved your wonderful dear mother, its such a heart touching story but it's such a wonderful thing that all those painful moments and your mom's support and strength have made you the person you are today!!! May God bless you even more abundantly and make you a channel of blessing to many. ❤🥰
Best pick ever !!!!! Love him team Trevor
Jealous pricks, so what if he had his own show after 2 years of experience
Best advise from Trevor "I wish i could give people the advise which is have a good parents.... You you take that for granted". I knew it that was never easy, because if it was easy everybody will be doing it.
I'm here now because of you Trev, heart you to bits
Trevor noah u inspired me a lot man..God bless u❤
Thank you Trevor for bringing us the globe!
The brilliant and brave man that Trevor is, is due to the world that his Mom showed him, even the one that, at the time, he was not a part off, she recognized that he would one day, be able to conquer it, Bravo Patricia ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Okay, don't pull yourself together....it's a party!!!😁😁😁😁😁
Very inspirational...
Trevor Noah is born to rule his stage
He is a genius man,very funny and eloquent
He is lovable
I fell inlove with him
When I accidentally watched him in his you tube about accents
Russian and Indian terrorism
It brought myself laughing like crazy insane, very consistent
His actions coming fr a mixed race British African
His childhood ,apartheid and all
He had himself laughing with his life story
And most of his jokes being black is comedy in a level no one has done as radiantly funny to audiences.
His accents, it is nvr annoying,constant jokes won’t take eyes off him
Besides being handsomely sexy!
Hope to meet you someday
aaahhhh Trevor Noaah^^! smart,handsome and really fun!
Well done Trevor Noah for staying true to yourself. Recipe for greatness.
First time I saw trevor's mother look so beautiful
