      Seeing Trevor's story about bricks brought back memories from my childhood. At age 8, growing up in a small village in northern Sweden, the coolest thing to do during school breaks was breaking and milling bricks to create powder and then mixing the powder with water to "paint" the stone wall beside the school. The bricks were mostly small pieces of roofing tiles, and the teachers understood the fun we had since they had done similar things when they were kids. This was in the late 1980's, before the era of video games and computers. Also, South Africa and Sweden may be half a world apart and an extremely different environments to grow up in. But the ability of children to play with whatever "toys" we could find is the same all over the world, and kids up here are still playing with bricks to this date.

    Listening to Trevor talk of "wanting to buy food whenever I want."

So growing up all I wanted was to eat when I want to eat. I know exactly how he feels cuz that was me.

    Ok. I'm a South Korean trying to improve my English watching American late night shows. And I'm so happy that I can enjoy Trevor now that I get his accent. I used to only watch Jimmy Kimmel because his jokes are not that difficult and he speaks clearly. And then I could watch Jimmy Fallon soon after because he's got lots of easy to follow formats on his show though he kind of murmurs quite a bit. Then soon after I was fine with Stephen Colbert & Seth Meyers along with Conan O'brien & John Oliver, at about the same time range, but consecutively. These four took me some time binge watching all the episodes! (Esp. LWT, they're so informative and funny, too!) Then now, Trevor Noah. I used to wish I could watch Trevor comfortably because so many people seem to enjoy him but I couldn't because I'm not a native at English. And here I am, I'm so happy! So I'm just throwing this here. Thanks for the great show Trevor!

      That's awesome! I grew up in southern Sweden in the 2000s and being in Russia over summer because of my family there, I remember playing with bricks with my cousin... Our uncle was building a house on the lot we owned outside the city, and when they had bricks laying around we would play with them like cars. The most fun we had was when the workers brought in a huge pile of sand and we would just have so much fun with the sand, making tunnels and bridges and roads for our brick cars... Good times...

      @Andreas Viklund as i was a at the age of 6-8 ( Im born in 2000) we played the same game here in Germany. There was this brickwall at our school with lots of little holes in its surface because of the generations of children before us. So we kept on the tradition to hit a brick ( that is laying on this brickwall ( brick is coming from this wall 2)) with a rock. After one or two break the rock was powder, which we put into the holes and filled up with water to paint the hole campus. Teachers didn’t like it when we played this game cause they thought we could get hit by particles which could harm us (happened all the time not gonna lie but it was fun)

      Seeing Trevor's story about bricks brought back memories from my childhood. At age 8, growing up in a small village in northern Sweden, the coolest thing to do during school breaks was breaking and milling bricks to create powder and then mixing the powder with water to "paint" the stone wall beside the school. The bricks were mostly small pieces of roofing tiles, and the teachers understood the fun we had since they had done similar things when they were kids. This was in the late 1980's, before the era of video games and computers. Also, South Africa and Sweden may be half a world apart and an extremely different environments to grow up in. But the ability of children to play with whatever "toys" we could find is the same all over the world, and kids up here are still playing with bricks to this date.

      Love this guy, makes me want to watch politics and come away with my own opinion. Much like reading the bible. The pastor may give a word but it's up to us to read it for ourselves. Unlike all the trump supporters, the supporters him just like a cult without calling him out on some of his crap. Nobodies perfect and they all make mistakes and some more than others but there still mistakes.

      @@Warmfireandtea Trevor does reply to anyone and everyone, Bibhash Jha, he will reply to you, just tweet him. He is exactly the way that he his, when he is on the daily show, or does stand up,Trevor does not pretend to be something he is not. I unfortunately cannot give you his direct line. He appreciates people that are genuine even haters like David Goertz. He will not reply to David though, as David is a racist, I think we had and still have enough of those here in our country..by our country I mean South Africa. 🇿🇦💐
