The African With WiFi

With his views on identity, Ola the Comedian talks to me about the burden of not fitting in. With his desire for world domination, we speak about making it outside the borders of Britain. And with his take on White privilege, he sharply describes why giving it up is almost impossible. Funny. Smart. And a pionneer. This is Ola the Comedian.

Loyiso Madinga is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah's first international correspondent. In this episode, he talks about the sacrifices needed to be a world act, the challenges of not being recognized in his home country of South Africa and the pursuit of being "more than just funny."

Trevor Noah's opening act talks to us about his creative depression after visiting New York City, and how that visit lead him to a new comedic direction. It’s one that he describes as, scary but necessary. We talk about embracing growth, embracing fear and finding the funny without any guarantees.
