>> Stephen: LET ME ASK YOU, WHAT DID YOU LOVE ABOUT IT?
>> I MEAN THE PEOPLE. >> Stephen: YOU GOT TO WORK
WITH. >> YEAH I GOT TO WORK WITH.
YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT INSPIRED ME FOR MY ENTIRE RUN, DOING AN
EVENT, I THINK IT WAS JERSEY AT A FUNDRAISER AND I, THIS WAS
MAYBE RIGHT BEFORE I STARTED AND YOU SAID THAT PEOPLE TAKE THE
JOY THAT YOU EXPRESSED ON THE SHOW AS THE JOY OF DOING THE
SHOW ON TELEVISION, BUT THIS IS A MANIFESTATION OF THE SHOW-- I
O SAY DO THE SHOW. >> THIS IS A PRIVILEGE.
>> LIKE ALL THE THINGS THAT EVERYONE HERE EXPERIENCED LIVE,
THAT MAYBE-- AND THEN THE THINGS THAT YOU EXPERIENCE, EVERYTHING
I WILL MISS THE CULTURE, THE VIBE.
>> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT THE GRIND.
>> I WILL-- . >> Stephen: WE WERE HAVING
DINNER TOGETHER, IN SPRING, WE WERE IN OUR JOBS ABOUT THE SAME
TIME. >> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: I SAID HOW IS IT GOING.
AND YOU SAID PARAPHRASING, I DID NOT EXPECT THE PACE TO BE THIS
RELENTLESS. I SAID YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE
GRIND. TO GET THE GRIND, IT HAS TO KIND
OF FEED YOU, YOU HAVE TO LEAN INTO THAT STRESS AND ANXIETY.
>> FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS LIKE, MAKING A
DAILY TELEVISION SHOW IN MANY WAYS IS LIKE PLANNING A WEDDING.
IMAGINE PLANNING A WEDDING, YOU ARE THINKING WHO ARE THE GUEST
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, WHO WILL
MAKE A TOAST WHAT WILL THE SPEECH BE ABOUT, WHAT IS
EVERYBODY EATING WHO IS SITTING WHERE, HOW IS IT GOING.
AND THE WEDDING HAPPENS AND YOU ARE LIKE WE ARE DOING ANOTHER
WEDDING TOMORROW. YOU THERE IS NO HONEYMOON.
SO I DO MISS THE DISCIPLINE. I MISS THE JOY THAT CAME FROM
CRACKING IT EVERY DAY, I DON'T MISS THE GRIND.
I MISS THINKING ABOUT THINGS-- SO SOMETHING HAPPENS,
LIKE I ENJOY THE FACTS THAT I GET TO BE, I DON'T HAVE AN
OPINION YET. THAT SOIRCHEDS LOVELY, HOW OFTEN
DID YOU GET BACK TO SOUTH AFRICAN.
WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED YOU WERE GOING BACK ALL THE TIME.
>> IS WITH. >> Stephen: EVERY WEEKEND.
>> EVERY THIRD WEEKEND. >> Stephen: STILL A LOT.
>> BUT IT'S HOME. >> Stephen: A 16 HOUR FLIGHT.
>> BUT THAT IS LIKE DRIVING THROUGH THE TUNNEL.
>> Stephen: I GUESS SO, THAT'S FAIR, THAT'S FAIR.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, STICK AROUND.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE TREVOR NOAH THAT GUY RIGHT
THERE.
