He's hosted The Daily Show and the Grammy Awards, sold out huge arenas around the world, had numerous hit comedy specials on Netflix, and published a bestselling memoir, Born a Crime. One of the keys to his success is his ability to read people and communicate clearly. In a lively discussion with Adam, Trevor dives into the importance of context in everything from personal relationships to global politics. The two also debate the best way to improve American politics — and Trevor does a few impromptu impressions, including one of Adam.

My guest today is comedian Trevor Noah.
He's best known for hosting the Daily show and the Grammys.

They both made me laugh so hard, I couldn't breathe.
We've been at several conferences together in the past year, and along with being the funniest person in the room, Trevor is consistently the smartest.
He hosts my favorite new podcast, what now?
And I could listen to him think out loud all day.

I was excited to talk with Trevor about how to understand each other better and what he wants to change about America.
