Trevor Noah’s ‘Daily Show’ Premiere Week Guests Revealed!

“There has been a very bad mistake, clearly”, said Hamm, who played troubled ad man Don Draper in the series that ended its run without adding another best-drama trophy to its haul of four previous wins.

Is this an intervention? If I had known what retirement was like, I would probably have done it earlier. “It’s f***ing fun out there, man. You can do whatever you want during the day”.

Would you direct more movies? Sometimes I think he’s just doing that to make the other candidates look really good. “If I get time to be in a city, or even if I notice anything, I will talk about something (local)”.

“One thing I always grew up with in my house was laughter”, he said. On the street: “Wow, you are a lot shorter and older in person than I would’ve thought”.

“The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity”, Davis said.

Noah’s first musical guest will be Ryan Adams, likely with a performance from his new cover album 1989. “He is such a talented guy and has such a great foundation for this, it’s not a question about giving him advice”, Stewart said in praise of South African-born Noah. But he’s got the best team in the business behind him.

And why should they, do you ask? No idea, but I can’t wait to tune in and see Noah’s spin on this iconic establishment that Stewart molded and shaped into one of the most incisive late night programs in history.

“So many shows, so little”, he sang, before entering a “TV viewing bunker” to binge-view on all the nominated shows. “When I was 25, my mother was shot in the head by my stepfather, an abusive alcoholic”.

You mentioned onstage you wouldn’t be back, but the summer episodes will be eligible. I’m so proud, and this show fights for what we believe in.

Near the end of the interview, Guthrie briefly noted the controversy surrounding Noah: “You were announced and there was all this fanfare”. Son of a bitch! It was only a scant eight months ago, shortly after he was named “senior worldwide correspondent” of Comedy Central’s revered political satire franchise, that he admitted in a Daily Show podcast: “I’m not an expert in America”.
