1. Love Trevor Noah. My favorite American comedian.

2. I think he does a great job, too!

He's also multi-talented, saw his stand up and he's great at voices and impressions. Plus, he really "gets" American politics, despite only having been here since 2011.

3. I've seen his standups, too. Also, a serious interview

in which he talked about his family and growing up in South Africa.

He manages to give some in depth insights in his humor.

My favorite and his funniest story, IMO, was a report on Mexicans stealing parts of Trump's wall to use as building materials and fences for their own homes. Best line, in a perfect Mexican accent, was, "I put up a wall at my home and Donald Trump paid for it."

I would link it here but I don't know of any single video of it. It is now part of a very long video covering all his Mexican border commentary.

4. Awww, thanks! I'll have to look for it

And I have seen Daily Show segments when he returned to South Africa, IIRC, he visited his grandmother! He really comes alive when he does his stand up - but I also really like him on The Daily Show.

6. I found a 1.39 minute video of

the comments about Mexicans stealing the wall, but could not get a link to work. It's on you tube, dated March 23, 2019.

7. This segment? The Daily Show: Mexicans Have Been Stealing Pieces of The Wall

Donald Trump’s ambitious project to beef up barriers at the Mexican border hits a major snag in Tijuana, where residents have been stealing razor wire from border fencing.

8. Yep, that's the one. So funny that even

Trevor could not keep a straight face in telling it.
