Trevor Noah Sets First ‘Daily Show’ Daytime Special as a Perfect Substitute for Your Kid’s Zoom Class (Video)
Trevor Noah is taking his talents from late night to early morning with his first-ever “Daily Show” daytime special.
Hosted by Noah, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Presents: Remotely Educational,” will feature correspondents Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, Dulcé Sloan and Roy Wood Jr., as well as contributors Jordan Klepper and Lewis Black, teaching the “only remote-learning classes that skip calculus and grammar in favor of lessons that students will actually need in life.” KPop group NCT 127 will also be stopping by to give “a very special extra credit lesson.”
You can watch a preview for the 30-minute special above, in which you’ll get an idea of the curriculum that Noah has planned as the perfect substitute for your kid’s Zoom class, like “Who Hates Who,” “Math for Real Life,” how to survive the TSA, and what to do about mice.
