About The Daily Show:
Trevor Noah and The Daily Show correspondents tackle the biggest stories in news, politics and pop culture.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
I love hearing from Professor Cottom. Her conversations are always enlightening.
She should be on other programs so more people could hear her, she is very interesting and lots of people would benefit
I have never heard of this person before, but I love the way that they speak and choose their words. The conversation overall between Professor Tressie McMillan Cottom and Trevor Noah was great. They obviously have not only respect for each other but enjoy their conversation and each other's company. There's an actual conversation going on, and opinions being given in an open space for discussion. Like every other interview I've seen Trevor do, I've learned about a new amazing person, and their opinions and insights have broadened my world view. I would have never had the chance to learn about so many different people if it wasn't for Trevor bringing them on the show, and them being willing to come on. I really hope the Daily Show keeps doing this. I also really like what she said about learning and curiosity, and about Twitter and public squares overall.
That Trevor is leaving this platform is our collective misfortune. Hopefully, the show will continue in this vein but no one can attract the same kind of interesting guests or, more importantly, will not be able to engage them like Trevor does. Truly a devastating loss.
This lady makes a ton of sense. We need more people like this.
An endearing thought, but it won’t sale. It should, oh by George, I wish it would-but people have a hard time facing reason too.😂
No, we don't. There's enough woke garbage already.
what a lovely human being - much love for prof Cottom
Brilliant conversation. I love smart, engaging women who can back it up. More, please.
Trevor isn't just a comedian but a constructive comedian who would love to help shape communities positively. Brilliant conversation Proff Cotton, other women should emulate. She is a blessing to the world.
@jamukha Knowing Trevor's humor, he just helped you discover who you already are.
Love this! “Curiosity separates us from a brick wall!” So true!
I hope the array of guests stays this phenomenal with a new host. I know there is a whole team of folks who won't be transitioning away and who have had a part in how profound Trevor's run at the healm has been. I just wanted to say thank you and put out a plea for the diverse, deep, necessary variety of voices that have come through in the past 7 years to continue into the coming time.
What a great conversation Trevor and Professor Cotton. Thanks 😊 🙏. I would love to hear more from her.
Prof Cottom is a delight. I could listen to her for hours.
FAKE
She gives me hope for human kind. Thanks for giving her time to share with us!
I didn't know about her until this show. She is amazing.❤
Wrote a paper on one of her articles in English this semester😊 A brilliant, enlightening woman❤
I like the way she thinks and speaks 😌 💕
My favorite professor. Thank you for being, Dr. Cottom
How wonderful, and how much they both respect each other judging by their heartfelt words and gestures at the end.
Loved this interview! I wish it was longer! She deserved the same 20 mins as Will Smith!
Mic drop!
Word
More.
Well said!
This was a brilliant interview! 👏🏾 Thank you to all involved.
And that is why she is an intellect!! The inquisitiveness to still want to learn and the strength to know she doesn't know everything!! Beautiful Woman 💐👏🏾💐👏🏾💐
Love this interview. Thank you Trevor.
I got off all social media 6 years ago. Proudly. It's not ever been neutral. If there was a public app I would come back online, maybe 🤔
As for our libraries, yes! Always been the Best public space to access information
UA-cam is a social media. So you didn’t get off completely.
Ms. Cottom is fantastic. Always appreciate her analysis.
GREAT INTERVIEW, I ADMIRE TREVOR'S INTELLIGENCE.
Annnd she is a library fan💚💚💚 as an ex librarian in a library that was actually used .. they are so very critical and she is so right !
What brilliance embodied! Thank you, Prof. Cottom! And thank you, Trevor!
Like Trevor said he could talk to her for hours, I could listen to her for hours. I really appreciate Trevor keep inviting her back.
What an absolutely lovely lady 😍 enjoying listening to her!
Professor Cottom's books are written for curious, ordinary folk. She challenges readers to reconsider popular cultural moments, historical events, and many social constructs from different
point-of-views. Professor Cottom's books are available at your local public library!
Thank you for your words of wisdom, Prof. Cottom. You are extremely eloquent, articulate in your opinion, and a wonderful human being to listen to. Thank you Trevor for proving once again why you ate one of the best interviewers out there.
Tressie is the best!
loved being in one of her classes!!
I love her and her Times newsletter. Hope to hear more from Tressie in the future.
SHE is fabulous!
Professor Cottom is an incredible speaker, author and thinker!
Love this so much❤️
I LOVE what Tressie is saying!
What a smart lady! Why haven't we seen more of her influence?
Agreed. I’ll give you two guesses why in the context of American society and culture.
She literally writes for the New York Times..
Love her!
Love her
Professor Cottom is an intelligent voice of reason. It is people like her we should elect to office.
Awwww… man!
I like her a lot!
Great little piece, there!
Professor Cottom is yet another extraordinary person interviewed excellently by Trevor Noah, among many who I either never hear or see on all the other comedy/news/culture shows, or hear from far too little. It's hard to miss that Trever has amplified a lot of Black voices in particular, which I really appreciate. Although no one can replace Trevor, I will be paying close attention to whether Comedy Central selects someone who might continue being this thoughtful as well as funny.
I can say she’s a genius, and I will.
Trevor, we will miss you but wish you all the best for all your upcoming projects...😩☹️
She is smart and intelligent! Love hearing her speak. BUT… ALSO… this skin in this dresss, babeeeeeeee unmatched 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰
Yeah, ok.
If I ever get a chance to vote for "president of the world", Prof. Tressie McMillan Cottom will likely be high on the list. Ideological and yet pragmatic.
Awww my late grandmother's name was Tressie 😍
She is so cool 😎
These platforms are the modern day version of the public square. That's why eventually they will no longer be treated like private enterprise. Rather they will be treated as public utilities and people won't be able to get kicked off for "wrong think".
They're not public squares. 99% of human beings do not use Twitter regularly. You extremely online people who wrongly think social media is a public square just need to go outside and interact with real people in the real world more often. So, no, you want get to take away someone's private platform and turn in public just because you spend too much time online to know the difference.
brilliant and humble
Excellent. Thanks.
This is what we will miss most! Your interview’s!😂😂😂
Fantastic!
She is just so intelligent.
Great guest, she's interesting.
They don't want to promote narcissism.
My word, she is brilliant. I would adore simply listening to her speak for days on end.
People just have that something special that brick walls don't!
I caught this so early!
Same
Her idea that people who don't know things, feel less intelligent, is very obvious to anyone with lots of knowledge, because even with the best of intentions, I often end up upsetting people because they feel talked down to unless you very delicately dance around their vulnerability.
I agree about libraries
3:08 indeed. lets work on that! we have the knowledge and the tools to make it happen.
Comedy central had better do a very special farewell for Trevor. The way he connects with everyone he chats to on the show is brilliant, and just the quality of questions is top notch. Can't wait to see how they bid him farewell, and what the surprises for the new show will be after he leaves, because they can only try to make it remain as interesting to watch or else it will lose a lot of viewership. Can't wait to see how much stuff Trevor will immerse himself into after the daily show, and path the Daily Show will take after he leaves.
SMART SMART SMART!!!
Life is always a lesson, we are or should be learning something new everyday.
@textontelegramfootasylum1932 lol not sure who this is.
Outstanding exchange here.👏🏾👏🏾💯 I would love to see Chris Rock pick her brilliant brain in the same way.
❤❤❤❤
I completely disagree with her on why people do social media. I don't think it's curiosity, I think it's mostly wanting approval and consent from other people. I don't do social media cause i know it would be the end of me :-), but I do watch US news on UA-cam and sometimes I post my opinion and even I check back sometimes what people replied and if they liked my post. so I guess in a way i DO do social media :-). But in my opinion that's why people are so crazy about it, wanting to be seen.
A government owned electronic square would have to have rules that would be determined by some governing body which by definition would eventually I have to limit speech in some way to maintain order. It sounds odd but the first amendment would not allow for a government-sponsored Twitter. When Twitter was publicly owned it had a form of accountability to the shareholder. Now that it's privately owned I do not know why the rules governing monopolies in the media do not apply.
I wonder why America is never governed by people like her🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ The world would like you better
This whole debate of privately owned vs state owned completely missed the owned part: the public square can exist on its own in a decentralized architecture. And with all due respect, this imho is the reason the next public square will be designed by a techie, not a sociologist. But gotta admit that she would make a great librarian, as nothing inspires curiosity better than a personal example, of which she is the epitome.
I always flinch when people say they have to believe something. What if the truth doesn’t reflect what you have decided to believe…
Hence religion - The perfect space to comfort such a person
Great guest!
Even if the states or federal government own it. That wouldn't make it a free public space. The government is a single meglamaiact
A hero of mine
Yes!!!
US shouldn't have anything to do with a potential public platform like that. Or any one nation for that matter. It would be too political and divisive, but UN on the other hand could be a great answer to this problem, which I believe should be like a global public square. Something that is hard attain when managed by cynical individuals looking at profit or elections.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. So basically somewhere else where you can reconstruct your lefty echo-chamber, full of all of the censorship you desire to "keep us saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafe".
Plataforma. Alguien te la dio. Give ve back. Love you atrevido Noa !!!
There is UA-cam and FB and lots of other places to get information.
Ideas must be public governed.
It'd be cool if u have Maria Ressa on an intetview too
💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏
Thanks for the insight, but I'm still confused why Bitcoin and crypto prices keep dropping? This drop follows a number of other significant drops in recent weeks. I still hold enormous value of cryptos and it scares me. Whats your take on this?
She straightened her hair to match traditional western style, but she forgot to blonde it. I prefer to look at blond women (especially when they are dressed in black), it´is just so much classier.
Since the Internet is not Owned by the USA, would it be possible to have a USA-government-moderated internet public square? Perhaps we're chasing something that can't exist.
Ohh gee, i wonder who shed all this light on twitter.... was it ELON!?....nooooooo. he is too rich for me to admit that
Looks familiar! 💋
The hubris of an individual who openly mocks someone who founded the biggest social media site in history and then makes attempts to solve world hunger... As if she is doing anything better about the issue.
And how are u bro ?! Plzplz tell Lil me bro onelove!!!!
I like her but disagree. Twitter was only 'public' but heavily controlled by a few before Ellon bought it.
I almost gave up on you Trevor for doing Meghan Markle show, but then you have this beautiful lady on, and I forgive you. But step it up, do your homework, and be careful of rich women with alligator shoes and blood diamonds from MbS. But I just heard that you do lots of shows for money in Arabia. And I wondered why you didn’t come out and support the women of Iran? 🤔 are they connected? IDK
So, Elon is the new mypillow guy?
I've never thought Elon could be so annoying to us. I wish he could just shut up, respectfully we getting anxious everyday.all these threats he puts out everyday...
Just like a Peter Munton
A goddess!❤
🌹🌹🌹🌹
Please make some jokes about Balenciaga
the state competing with a private company...hmmm sure?
***Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge and crypto trading is the key 😁..!!!***
Please how can I reach out to Mrs Isabella Clara? I urgently need his management on my INVESTMENTS !
