What Noah Learned Hosting The Daily Show

During “his last episode as host of The Daily Show, Noah shared what he learned during his time on the iconic series.

“Then I look at this now and I don’t take it for granted ever. Every seat that has ever been filled to watch something I’m doing is always appreciated because I know the empty seat that sits behind it,” he continued. “Thank you to people who watch, the people who share the clips, everyone who’s had an opinion, everyone who’s been kind enough and gracious enough, even if it’s a critique.”

“I’ve often been credited with having these grand ideas,” Noah added when thinking about his family. “Who do you think teaches me, who do you think has shaped me, nourished me, informed me. From my mom, my gran, my aunts, all these black women in my life but then in America as well.”

“I always tell people if you truly want to learn about America, talk to Black women,” the host continued. “Because unlike everybody else Black women can’t afford to fuck around and find out. Black people understand how hard it is when things go bad.”
