Trivia / The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

• The Cast Showoff: Trevor's segment regarding Donald Trump being the first African President ended with his doing a brief bit of "click" singing, first showcased in his appearance on QI.
• Corpsing:
  • Noah does this while interviewing Seth Rogen, who is beyond funny. He also tends to do this after delivering a joke, even if it's not as funny.
  • During the brief period when Trevor couldn't speak and instead used the corresponders and a text-to-speech female voice to act as his voice resulted in a several cases of this, due to the sheer absurdity of it all; since the jokes were still meant to be told by Trevor, there were moments such as him interviewing a guest with said text-to-speech program or a white corresponder talking about their childhood as a mixed-race boy in Africa.
  • When covering CPAC 2021, Trevor finds the golden Trump statue to be such a Refuge in Audacity that he breaks down laughing a couple times.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content:
  • #CruzYourOwnAdventure, in which Trevor invites viewers and the rest of the Internet to put their own spins on a bunch of raw campaign footage that Senator Ted Cruz uploaded to Youtube, with the best ones featured on the show's Tumblr page and Trevor's favorite shown on the show itself.
  • #LewisBlackSpitTake, in which the show's Tumblr page invites folks to play around with green screen images of Lewis and making something fun with it. Plus, the show even posted the footage on Vimeo and invited folks to do the same thing.
  • #LowerThirds, in which the show's Tumblr page invites viewers to submit screencaps of oddly worded news leads.
• Written-In Infirmity: Trevor temporarily lost his voice in December 2018, and his doctors told him to not speak at all or it could go so bad it'd require surgery. This didn't stop him from still hosting the show, he just couldn't speak himself. The writers instead wrote jokes that Trevor would put through a text-to-speech app on his phone (resulting in him interviewing a guest with a monotone Siri-esque female voice, among other things) and had the corresponders talk in his stead - without changing the content of the show - resulting in moments such as Desi Lydic, an American white woman, describing her childhood as a mixed-race boy in Africa; all the while Trevor acted silly on the background. YouTube commenters have given the writers a thumbs up for taking the potetially dangerous illness and managing to turn it into an opportunity for comedy without being offensive about it.
