Speaker 1 (00:03):
Miguel was sure thing. He hosted the Daily Show, he
hosts the Grammys. He's doing a comedy show for Netflix
at the Hollywood Bowl. Trevor Noah with us here one
of two point seven Kiss FM.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
In Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
I have to admit to something, Trevor. I am so
happy you're on. When I saw you there, you were
coming on here in the schedule. I was excited because
every time you host the Grammys, I go into my
phone to text you. Dude, that opening monologue on a
steady cam, walking and talking, nailing your marks and beats,
going in and out of script is not only brilliant,

(00:36):
but you just make it seamless. But I don't have
your number, so I kind of just say it out loud.
So wait, wait, wait, Ryan Seacrest cannot get my number.
I don't have I really don't have it.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Maybe I struggle to believe that you don't have the
resources that some of my store cus do.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
This is wild.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
But I do want to commend you at the Grammys
because thank you, my friend, Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
You're great at everything. But it is really a skill
to open up that show the way you do. Thank
you man, coming coming from you, that means a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I mean, you one of the greatest who's ever done it,
ever hosted anything ever, captive, you know, captivated an audience,
So that means a lot coming from you.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Thank you very much. We thank you for.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Hosting the Grammy's. We look forward to it as well,
so do you. I'm very curious about this. You're on
every day. It's a grind doing a show every single day.
Are there voids?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Do you miss it? Or do you love that you
don't have that schedule anymore?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
You know, there are definitely things I miss about not
doing the daily show anymore, because you know, the rhythm
and the routine. I mean, you know what that was
like as well. You know, it was like that world
where you wake up every day and you know where
you're going, you know what you're gonna do. You but
but there's also there's also something that comes with not
knowing what you're gonna do or breaking it up or
switching things around. So you know, I I've gained a

(01:47):
little and I've lost a little. You know, probably the
biggest thing I miss is the people, to be honest
with you, you know, it's just like the crew that
I would make the show with the writers, the staff,
the jokes that we would tell each other every day.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's that's what I missed the most.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
What I don't miss, to be honest with you, is
having to keep up with the news in its entirety
every single day. I don't think it's good for your
mental health. So yeah, now I take a break, I binge,
you know, I catch up on everything at the end
of the week, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
And what what was your process to take all of
that in regularly?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
How did you do it? Because it's like ridiculous ulous
days over, I mean everything's done. It was ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, yeah, you you done. One day, I spent so
much time reading up on what was potentially going to
be a bill or who was saying what in DC
and which senator was struggling to get this past and who.
I remember being at parties where I would be in
the middle of like having a good time. You had
a dinner, you had a gathering, and then all of
a sudden, your little notification on your phone goes off

(02:43):
and it's like New York Times notification and I have
to like go to a corner and.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Read because it's changed the Yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
People would people would come to me and be like, hey,
you are you gonna have dessert? I'm like, yeah, hold on,
I'm just trying to see what the Supreme Court ruling means.
Give me a second. Yeah, And then people would also
expect me to come back to the table and then
recap everything that I'd have to do, like many daily shows.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, I understand you, Trevor. No, with this, I understand.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Like if you were in the middle of that and
you were at a dinner party and we were having
our meal, I would be like, what's the real story?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Like tell us, what are you? What are you really hearing?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Right? That's what people do, Yeah, we're we would nag
you as well. So Trevor's doing this really cool show.
Netflix is a Joke Presents Trevor Now. It's a Hollywood Bowl.
That's a great venue to be It's insane. It is insane.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I'm always shocked at how massive and spectacular that venue is.
The first time I actually the only times I've been.
I've been to see Gustavo Dudamel, like you know, with
this with the orchestra, with the l A Philharmonic, which
is amazing. And my dream was always to go there
and do something. But yeah, I mean, this is it's
such a momentous occasion. It's my first time doing the

(03:47):
Hollywood Bowl and I'm really excited. I'm really really excited.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
So what's the format of this show? It's interesting, a
lot of different players here.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well, Like what I try and do for every tour
is think a different idea that I'm trying to hone
in on. So you know, my material shifts from city
to city, state to state, country to country. I try
and keep it fresh. So if you come and see
my show in Los Angeles, I don't want it to
be the same as if you saw my show at
like Red Rocks in Colorado, or if you came and

(04:16):
saw my show in like, you know, Sydney, Australia. I
don't want it to be exactly the same. There'll be
some elements that I'll move from one to the next,
but I want you to feel like this was for you.
So that's one thing I make, you know, I change
with the format this year. I'm rolling with one opening act,
a good friend of mine, Wilson Vince, and so we
have like a very specific routine that we put together,
like you know, engaging with the audience playing around. We

(04:38):
keep it loose. And then what I do at my
shows now is like we have like a huge conversation
at the end of the show, like a Q and
a session with the audience. We chat about what's happening
in the world. Sometimes we talk about the most random things.
Like one person just got up and was like, yeah,
I'm having this issue in my relationship.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
And I was like, well, let's get into it with
fifteen thousand strangers.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's fun because you know that people know you don't
know what's coming right with those things, and that's kind
of the beauty of it all. And you're doing your
podcast where you get a little bit that too. You
get a little everything on your podcast, right, Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I do, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I mean the podcast has given me the long form
side of conversation that that I that I often yearn for.
And then the stand up It is just like the
connecting with human beings. Put your phone away, Let's look
at each other in the eye and let's make each
other un comfortable, and then let's make each other laugh
and let's have a good time together.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Like let's be human beings.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know, imagine if we had time on this show,
Like every time we're on, it's like two minutes, let's go,
we got traffic.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Exactly. Can you do it faster?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You guys, But you're You're just brilliant on all levels.
It's been a pleasure to get to know you over
the years. Drever and I will absolutely have a number
detection in the first commercial break of the Grammys because
I get I eat cheer. I get so excited after
that open because I'm I'm I'm feeling you, bro. I know,
I'm like, Okay, he's there, he's almost there, He's two
can tell.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Like one of the biggest things I do is like
so so I have a weakness in that, Like I
take a while to warm up generally, right, this is
like my thing. It's because I observe, I see what's happening.
But now, when you're doing live TV and you're doing
a big show, you can't warm up, you know, I
can't like start the show and be like, well that
was interesting, Welcome to the Grammys, folks.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Wow, let's see how this. You can't do that?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
And so genuinely, in my head, I always think of
Ryan Seacrest on American Idol, and I always think of
how you would say this is American, and I'll go like,
I would think of that, and I'll go like, yo, man,
that guy kicks off the show. He doesn't make you
think the show is gonna start, that the show might
get better. He makes you feel Ryan Seacrest lets you
know that this is American, and you say, and I

(06:38):
promise you, I think that in my head. I go like,
all right, Ryan Seacrest for the beginning, Ryan Seacrest for
Ryan's secrets at the beginning, and then I settle into
Trevor Noah at the end.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
So maybe the reason you like it is because you
like what you do. Yes, it's like looking in the
mirror exactly. Thanks Bro, great to see it, man, continued success.
