>> Stephen: THIS MAN RIGHT THERE YOU KNOW HIM, THAT'S THE
HOST OF THIS YEAR'S GRAMMYS, TREVOR NOAH.
I'M GLAD WE HAVE YOU HERE PHYSICALLY BECAUSE THERE HAS
BEEN SOME DANGER, YOU REENTLY TOOK, WHEN DID YOU DO THIS?
>> SO THIS WAS OVER THE DECEMBER HOLIDAYS.
>> Stephen: SO YOU LEAVE THE SHOW, AND ARE YOU LIKE I'M GOING
TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, I WILL GO TO COSTAR RICA.
>> THAT IS MY ANNUAL TRIP, HAVE I BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE
SAME GROUP OF FRIENDS GOING, WHAT WITH RENOW 14, 15 YEARS
FROM SOUTH AFRICA, WE STARTED OUR CAREERS TOGETHER, DIFFERENT
PATH, DIFFERENT JOURNEYS BUT EVERY YEAR WE MAKE SURE WE GO ON
A FRIEND'S TRIP. DOESN'T MAT WHERE ST, SOMETIMES
SOUTH AFRICA, SOMETIMES CALIFORNIA, THIS TIME COSTA
RICA. WE DO SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY
WANT TO DO. FOR THE EXPERIENCE.
FORCE EVERYBODY. >> Stephen: DON'T WANT TO OR
OH, THAT SCARES ME. >> YEAH, THAT DON'T WANT TO DO.
SO PEOPLE ARE LIKE I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO DO THAT.
I AM LIKE THAT IS WHY WE SHOULD DO IT.
THIS YEAR I PICKED WHITEWATER RIVER RAFTING.
>> Stephen: THIS IS IN COSTA RICA.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY VIGOROUS RIVER.
>> ST FANTASTIC. >> Stephen: HERE YOU ARE ABOUT
TO GO OVER THE FALLS. AND THAT IS YOU RIGHT THERE.
>> THAT IS ME RIGHT THERE. >> Stephen: NOT PADDLING.
>> SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, NO, NO, ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO, POINTS
WHERE YOU PADDLE AND POINTS WHERE YOU DON'T.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE GUIDE ON THE PACK BACK, OUR GUY SAID
PAD WILL WHEN I SAY STOP, STOP, PUT THE ORES UP, WHEN I SAY
PADDLE, I AM LISTENING, STOP, GO, I'VE GOT IT, THAT IS WHAT I
AM DOING, RIGHT. AND THEN COMING TO RAPID T WILL
BE GREAT, ALL RIGHT, READY FOR T RAPIDS ARE GREAT, COOL, THIS IS
EASY, THIS IS FUN. AND THEN-- IT'S-- .
>> Stephen: TAKE THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS.
>> SO THIS IS JOY, THIS IS FUN. ME REALIZING THIS IS WHAT I HAVE
WANTED TO DO, THIS IS FUN. >> Stephen: OKAY.
>> SO THAT'S NOW NOT ME ANY MORE, THAT'S ACTUALLY THE
FRIEND, AND SHE HAS FLIPPED I SIDE DOWN AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU
HAVE TO ADMIT IT IS A PRETTY AMAZING PICTURE.
>> Stephen: IT IS. >> SHOES.
>> Stephen: IT'S A WONDERFUL PICTURE TO LOOK AT.
>> YES, BUT WHEN ARE YOU IN IT, IT IS WEIRD BECAUSE YOU DON'T
KNOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED YET. YOU HAVE DONE RIVER RAFTING.
>> Stephen: I HAVE. >> HAVE YOU EVER GONE OUT OF THE
BOAT. >> Stephen: NO, MY MOM POPPED
OUT OF THE BOAT, THAT WAS SHOCKING.
THE PHOTO OF ME AT THAT POINT IS WE'RE ALL IN THE BOAT TOGETHER
AT THE TOP OF THE RAPIDS AND HALFWAY JUST ME GOING-- AND MY
MOM IS GONE OVER HERE. >> YEAH.
YOU DON'T KNOW, RIGHT. THAT IS THE CRAZY THING ABOUT IT
IS YOU DON'T KNOW. AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, NO
BOAT UNDER YOU, THE WATER IS ON TOP OF YOU, THE BOAT SON TOP OF
YOU AND YOU ARE LIKE I DON'T THINK I'M IN A BOAT ANY MORE BUT
YOU STILL HAVE YOUR PADDLE. >> Stephen: AND THIS IS THE
WELL PASSED WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
>> SO THAT IS THE FACE WHEN I REALIZE THAT I-- TO GIVE YOU
FULL CON TEFNTLE I WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME UNTIL ONE OF MY
CLOSEST FRIENDS DECIDED TO PULL ME DOWN INTO THE WATER, TO TRY
TO LIFT HIMSELF OUT. WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A COMMON
THING THAT HAPPENS. >> Stephen: YOU LOOK BOY ANT
TO ME. I COULD USE YOU AS A RAFT.
>> HAVE I BEEN TOLD THAT MANY TIME, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU SAID RIVER RAFTERING, THIS EXPERIENCE IS A
MED A FOR FOR LIFE. >> I TRULY THINK IT.
IS I THINK IN LIFE YOU ARE ON A RIVER.
YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHAT THE RIVER IS GOING TO BE LIKE IT WILL BE
MOMENTS WHERE IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND CALM.
MOMENTS WHERE THERE ARE RAPIDS THAT SHAKE YOU UP.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR LIFE WILL BE LIKE.
WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL IS THE PEOPLE YOU ARE IN THE BOAT WITH.
SO I AM GLAD I CHOSE THOSE PEOPLE FOR MY LIFE, FOR THAT
BOAT RIDE, FOR THAT JOURNEY. >> Stephen: NOT KNOWING ONE
WOULD TRY TO DROWN YOU. >> TRY TO SAVE HIMSELF, IN THE
PROCESS HE PULLED ME DOWN. >> Stephen: WASN'T TRYING TO
DROWN YOU, MERELY DIDN'T CARE WHETHER YOU LIVED.
>> MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES NO ONE TELLS YOU WHEN YOUR
LIFE FLASHES IS THAT YOU ALSO REMEMBER RANDOM THINGS, LIKE E I
WAS JUST LIKE AH, THAT IS WHERE I LEFT THAT CONTROLLER.
LIKE RANDOM THINGS LIKE THAT COME INTO YOUR HEAD.
>> Stephen: AND THERE IT IS, EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO ARE YOU BACK ON THE ROAD WITH A TOUR.
>> I AM. >> Stephen: HOW IS THAT, YOU
GET TO GO OUT THERE AND LIVE THE LIFE ON THE ROAD WHICH YOU DID
FOR MANY YEARS. WAS THAT FUN TOR YOU, DO YOU
ENJOY THAT. >> I LOVE IT.
I MISS MEETING PEOPLE IN PERSON. I MISS MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY
RSM THE THING I LOVED ABOUT THE DAILY SHOW WAS I WAS IN A WORLD
WHERE I WAS CONSUMING NEWS. THE ONE THING THAT I DIDN'T
ENJOY ABOUT IT WAS THAT THE NEWS WAS OFTEN DEFINED BY A PLACE,
OFTENTIMES THE COAST OR WHERE THE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T GET A REAL SENSE OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE
EXPERIENCING. SO WHAT I LOVE ABOUT STANDUP IS
YOU GET TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT I THINK I KNOW
ABOUT A PLACE AND ITS PEOPLE, AND WHAT THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY
THINK ABOUT THE PLACE AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE.
SO YOU KNOW, I HAVE IDEAS OF GEORGIA BUT THEN I GET TO GO DO
SHOWS IN GEORGIA AND GET TO MEET GEORGIANS AND TALK TO THEM, AND
GI TO DINNERS AND CAFES AND RESTAURANTS, SAME IN INDIA.
HAVE I IDEAS ABOUT INDIA AND THEN I GO THERE, IT REFINES ME,
CHANGES MY POINT OF VIEW, GETS RID OF SOME OF MY BIASES.
GETS RID OF SOME OF THE IGNORANCE THAT WE ALL HAVE
PLACES WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. SO I LOVE THAT PART OF THE
JOURNEY. AND THEN ON MONDAY I DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT GEORGE SANTOS S THAT HIS NAME?
>> Stephen: SOMETIMES, THAT IS SOMETIMES HIS NAME.
GOING ON THE ROAD MEETING PEOPLE IS THE BEST THING.
>> IT IS AMAZING. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO GO, ONE
LAST QUESTION FOR YOU, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
WHEN YOU WERE ON HERE, BECAUSE YOU PLAY AI BOT GRIO IN THE
BLACKS PANTHER UNIVERSE. >> I DO.
>> Stephen: I HAD FORGOTTEN THIS.
AND I HAD SOME OF THE CAST ON. AND I WANTED TO GO WATCH IT
RECENTLY AND I WENT WHY IS THAT VOICE SO FAMILIAR.
AND I WENT THAT IS TREVOR, THAT'S TREVOR.
AND IT S I LOOKED IT UP. OH YEAH, I FORGOT.
BUT I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU.
>> OKAY GO. >> Stephen: CHUR SI ON THE
ROPES, AND YOU ARE SAYING I AM WORKING ON IT.
LIKE THERE IS SOME URGENCY FROM GRIO, PLEASE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU
DON'T CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THESE PEOPLE.
>> I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, STEPHEN,.
>> Stephen: THAT IS THE KIND OF VOICE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR.
>> AS AN AI WHAT I TRY AND DO IS GET INTO THE ROLE OF WHAT I AM
PERFORMING. I AM AN ACTOR IN THAT MOMENT,
STEPHEN. AND SO NOW IMAGINE IF YOU WERE
TALKING TO YOUR AI. IMAGINE IF YOU PULLED UP, AND
YOU SAID TO YOUR AI, WERE YOU LIKE CALL 911 AND SIRI WAS LIKE
AAAHHH. >> Stephen: NO, WAIT, STOP,
STOP, CANCEL. LITERALLY.
I HAD TO CANCEL YOU, SIRI WAS CALLING 911 AND THEN IT HEARD ME
SCREAMING ON THE WAY. >> EXACTLY.
AMBULANCE IS ON THE WAY RIGHT HERE NOW.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SEE TREVOR HOSTING THE GRAMMYS ON FEBRUARY
5th ON CBS. IT'S TREVOR NOAH EVERYBODY.
YOU REMEMBER HIM. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE
STAR OF EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE.
STEPHANIE HSU, STICK AROUND.
