Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show.
It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID.
Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me.
The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are
they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient
to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second.
I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go,
but how many of them come out on Thursday?
I mean, talk about innovative.
Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart,
wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. How do I do it with the accent?
I'll be honest with you, I never thought I was good at it or anything.
But I think it's because I grew up like that. I have a mixed family.
Like everyone in my family has a different accent.
So my dad, my dad's family, my mom's family,
everyone has like a hybrid because everyone moved around a lot.
So whenever you go to a different house, it's just easier to speak to them in their accent
than to try.
No, because it was weird as well, because I went to a private school, like myself and my
cousins, we were all lucky to go to, like at the time of black and white kids at the same schools. So we had different accents to our parents.
And then, like your parents were happy to send you there.
That was the funny thing.
It's like your parents would be like, you must go to that school, and you must learn to speak good English.
And then you'd go to the school, and you'd learn the English, and then you'd be sitting with them, watching TV or something, and then like your dad would be like, put volume, put volume, and then you'd be like,
do you mean increase the volume?
Be like, hey, I'll increase or decrease your life.
Don't act smart here.
Put volume.
Don't come here with that English,
and it's like, yeah, but that's what you told her. So then it became easier to just like, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, the, the, to, to, to, the, to, to, to, to increase, to, to increase, to increase, to increase, the, to increase, to increase, to, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to, to, to increase, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to increase, to increase, to increase, to, to increase, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the, the, the, the, they........ they. to increase, the to increase, they. to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase, to increase mean? Speaking the accent of the people, it changes. Like you might find you do the same thing. Do you live in New York or do you live in Haiti?
Or you live in Haiti? Okay, if you lived in New York, I know I've got friends from Haiti who do that.
Like in New York, I know, I've got friends from Haiti. Like in New York, they sound.
They sound like half Haiti, half New York, he'll be like, yeah, man, you know, you know, and I hear a little bit of Haiti, and then when he's in Haiti and I'll face time with him,
and I'll be like, yo, what's up, Vince? How are you doing? You be like, why, you, why,
you, why are you, why, you? I say that, you know? I'm like, what, what? that's where I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

accent and then she's just like yeah and then my grand I think that's why I'm
actually my grandmother's favorite grandchild because all the other
grandkids speak to her in like the accents they learned at school and then with me she's just like oh to have a good I'm not to the told. I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to speak she's to to to to to to to to to to to to speak to to to to to to to to to to to to to to speak to speak to speak to speak to speak to speak to speak to speak she's to speak she's the to speak she's to to to to speak she's to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the the to to do? It depends on the day. I'm not gonna
lie. It depends on the day. Sometimes I'll choose an accent for the day if I'm on vacation.
Genuinely, I'll just walk around and I'll like just be like, oh I'm Australian for the
day and I'll just walk around. And I'll just be Australia. You know the great thing about
an Australian accent is that you always sound happy because always like it doesn't matter what it is but it always goes up and it's like really exciting you know
it's just got that thing like even an Australian gave you bad news it always
sounds good it's like hi mate your mom's dead it's just so yeah
so yeah One of my favorite things to do though is sometimes,
because I don't really impersonate general accents, I impersonate people.
So the Australian that I do is a friend of mine from Australia,
and then like if I do like a Nigerian accent is a friend of mine from Nigeria,
and because I can't, because people all have different accents.
Do you know what the Australian accent is,
I know what my Indian friend sounds like, so I just impersonate his accent. And then like Trinidad, I just know my friend from Trinidad.
This is his accent, so I just do his accent.
And then I remember like one dad did the Trini accent, and then people from Trinidad, they're
like, they're like, they're like, that's not how people in Trini talk.
And then I was like, yo, you talk, dude what happened to your accent why you're talking like there's like guys I haven't lived in America I've lived in America for a long time and like it's not my
fault I didn't try to change my accent they're like you're leading Trevor
no or wrong you're not speaking away we're supposed so I'm just like I just do people that's all I'm doing well who else do to who else we have to to to to to to to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th to to th to to to to to to to to to to to to th thus to to to to to to to to to to to to th to to th th th the th th th to to the to to the th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th thus the the the the the the the the thoo the the the the the the the the the the the the and exotic. Yes. How things going over there?
Just blink if it's good. And blink twice if it's bad. I won't say your name. I won't put you on camera.
You can go back. Your president doesn't have to know you were here.
Things are good in Egypt.
When you watch Donald Trump, does he remind you a little bit of Egyptian leaders?
Yeah, a lot? Yeah, it's just like just without the Arabic.
Just like, say again? They're also what?
Oh, they are friends.
Yeah, yeah, he is.
You can see that.
It could be like, I feel like Trump would be exactly the same,
even if he spoke Arabic, it would be like the same thing.
I feel like,
Halalawa, I'll tell you,
Lettak, thou-lai.
Y'allow,
Yella.
Y'ala y'al'a.
Yalla, y'al'al'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'e'a'e, show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself,

obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast.
I tried to start learning German, because my dad is Swiss German, right?
And so I was like, I want to learn his language because I never learned it growing up. And then someone was like,
why don't you learn Swiss? And then I heard Swiss and I was like, no. I'll rather
learn German. And so I'd learn German. And so I'd rather learn German and I'd to.
And so I thought it would bring us closer to together, right? Because I lost contact with my dad. And so I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, I, th, th, th, toed, toed, toed, toed, told, told, told, told, told, toed, toed, the, th.

And, th. And, th. And, th. And, they. And, they they they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, and impress him whatever and I met him and then like I started speaking to him in
German and he was like what are you doing? I was like I'm speaking German
he's like no it's better if you speak English no no this is no this is
he's like it's better if you don't speak German at all it's it's fine but then now I could speak a bit of German so I was excited to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I I th. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I thi. I the. I thi. I was the. I was the. I fun. Until I found out that my, the way
I spoke German sounded a little bit like Hitler. Yeah, which no one told me on this side
of the world because we don't know how he really spoke or anything, but I would be in Germany
and apparently the way I would hit certain inflections would freak people out.
And it's like, think of it like Barack Obama's voice. Like if someone learned English in America and they got here the their their their their tho tho tho tho. And tho. And tho. And thu. I thu. I thu. I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I tho, I'd tho, I'd tho-I tho-I thu, thu, I'd tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I, tho-I, thu. I'd thu. thu. thu. the way, the way, the way, thu. thu. thu. thi. tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu to be like good thu they the thu to be like good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good the the the the the the the the tha they tha they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they'll like like like like like like good good want a little bruschen have. Be the sand.
With the shinken. And the people, like, people would look at me.
And then when we left, my friend was like, I was like, why would they look,
did I say it like, wrong, wrong words?
She's like, no, you sound a little bit like Hitler, yeah. And she was like, thiii. And she was like, th. And th. And thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the people, the people, the people, the people, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the people. And, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the, the people, the, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and the people are really frightened about that, and you know? And I was like, so I spoiled their day and she was like, yeah, you did, you know?
And I was like, well, that brings me a lot of Shadenfreude.
Spain was fun as well.
I was trying to learn Spanish.
And the weird those seven words are flawless,
which doesn't help me in like,
so I'd start conversations with people like in the morning,
someone will see me, and then they'll be like,
and then they'll be like, hello, how is tho?
And then they'll be like, oh, how's it? And they'll be like, oh, oh, is, Sonia. I'll be like, oh, go, yeah. You know, and I'll get into a vibe,
and I'll be with the people, I'll be asking people stuff,
I'll be giving directions, and then I just run out.
And then I just run out, because I I know that, and I'll give direction. Then someone would ask me, where's the cathedral? Then I know how to start the direction.
So I'll be like, oh, in 200 meters, seriala de la cha?
And then people are like, cool.
And then the person goes, where do the person goes,
where do the, where do you tho, no, no, me no, the s sidel Ible Spanial which is we because you should say me no no abla in the worst way you can
Which I didn't realize because I should have been like oh me no abla Spaniel, but instead of like? Oh me no abla spina, no I'm spina, no I'm basically like the equivalent of meeting like someone and they came up to you the the the the the the the the, I apologize. No, I speak no English whatsoever. I must apologize, not a word of English. I'm so sorry.
Did I hear somebody, was there a French person who had a fiancé? Is that?
Very cool man, congratulations. It was nice. It was weird because I was listening to you when
when you're speaking and I was like, it's weird because fiancé is French isn't
it? Because I know this sounds weird but in my head you said oh yeah no and
this is my fiancé and then I was like what's the French for fiancé?
Is that a little bit weird to you that in English you have to say some French every now again right right? Because like that's a that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a th. that's a th. that's a that's a th. It's a th. It's thi. It's a thian. It's that's that's that's th. It's that's that's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

I the. I the. I the. I thi the. I thi thi theean. I thean. I thi thi. I thi, right? Because like that's a thing, like we do that.
We'll be like, we'll be like fiancé, entrepreneur, you know, like,
like, think about, we do that like, touche, we just say that to each other in conversation as people.
Someone will say something, you say something back and you're like, ha ha, but I don't think French people, do you do that? Do you that that that that thua, do thua, do th. Do you th. Do you th.

You do that?
You don't, right?
This is weird.
It's totally weird to me.
We just use other languages in our language.
That's really strange.
That's exciting, man.
Say again? French fries are not French. I like how you said that with passion.
And French fries, they are not French. Trevor, I have to tell you all of these secrets.
The French fries are not French.
But do you eat them in France?
So why are you complaining?
So why are you complaining?
That's fine. You guys also like, where are these French friends from?
They said they are from French.
Jean Pierre are these years? No, they are not.
Michel are this year friends? No, they are not their friends. Who are they fresh from?
They said they are French, but no French person knows where they are from.
Oh, man.
What made you move from France?
You said 17 years you've lived in Detroit.
What made you move?
Say again?
Atlanta, sorry, yeah, Atlanta.
What?
You just walked?
You just walked?
Oh, shit, did you say work?
Oh, sorry, your accent, because you said, no, I did walk.
And then I was like, wow, that's one hell of a journey, my friend.
Just like, one day I was walking.
I was working by the Eiffel Tower,
and I said, I've seen this before.
I've seen all of this before.
I'm going to walk a little further.
And then I walked, and I walked, and I walked, andired so I stayed.
There's no reason to go back.
Oh wow.
And then you fell in love with Atlanta and you stayed.
No?
No?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened?
Oh wow? Oh wow? Oh, man? So you go to Atlanta? Oh, man? So you just that one of the level of crime. There was no joke, so I get to start to everybody.
Oh wow.
Oh man, so you go to Atlanta.
The recession happens, so now you're stuck in Atlanta.
That is so dope.
I feel like I should make a TV show about you, man.
It's like a fun story.
It's like I ended up in Atlanta, and now this is my life. How did you make money? I became a rapper.
In the ETL, I became the only French trap rapper.
I'm sorry.
Wow, true throw the threat.
Wow, true of tho.
Tell me, a mrs.
Tell me, tha'a my new thro thro. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast,
the weekly show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday.
So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday,
we're going to be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election.
Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're
going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know
that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second.
I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out
on Thursday. I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever
you get your podcast.
I want to share this little story with you. I got into a little bit of trouble with the
French government. I know the French government. So what what happened was let's start at the beginning, France won
the World Cup. And so on the show we celebrated that and I had this joke
where I said, I said Africa won the World Cup. Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was shocked at how angry a lot of French people got.
Like genuine, a lot of French people were angry and they were like, oh Trevor, how can you
say these things? You know, this is horrible.
And I was like, okay, I get it. Like, not everyone likes every joke that you tell,
and I get that. But this was interesting. I got a letter from the ambassador the ambassador of France and and I'll read it to it was it was about that joke and he says
I'll try read it how I hope he wrote it which was um he says sir I watched with great attention your July 17th show when you spoke of the victory of the French team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Final which took place last Sunday. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ambassador the ambassador the ambassador the ambassador the ambassador the ambassador the ambassador the ambassador the the the ambassador the the the ambassador the ambassador the the ambassador the ambassador the the ambassador the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the of the French team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia final which took place last Sunday I heard your words about an African victory nothing could be less true. Now first of all I think it could
have been less true. That would have been less true. That would have been less true.
Says as many of the players have already stated themselves,
their parents may have come from another country,
but a great majority of them, all but two out of 23 were born in France.
They were educated in France.
They learn to play soccer in France.
They are French citizens.
They are proud of their country.
France.
The rich and various backgrounds of these players is a reflection of France's diversity. France is indeed, now that line there was interesting, the
rich and various backgrounds of these players is a reflection of France's
diversity. Now I'm not trying to be an asshole but I think it's more
reflection of France's colonialism.
Oh!
Oh! Because it's not like it's just like random play like they all have something in common
Like all of those players if you trace their lineage you like how did you guys become French like how did your how did your family
Start speaking French oh, okay. All right. Let's say here. He says France is indeed a cosmopolitan country, but every citizen is part of the French identity and together they belong to the nation of France. Unlike in the United States of America,
France does not refer to its citizens based on their race, religion, or origin. To us,
there is no hyphenated identity. Roots are an individual reality.
By calling them an African team, it seems you are denying their Frenchness. This even in just legitimizes the
ideology which claims whiteness as the only definition of being French. So now
here's the thing. All right first things first. I understand what he's saying
because I read up on this afterwards right. I take criticism I'll listen to
what somebody says to me you know I genuinely believe you
should and what what it turns out is in France a lot of like Nazis in in that
country use the fact that these players of African descent to shit on
their Frenchness you know so they go you're not French you from
Africa go back to where you came from you're not French they use that as you know, so they go you're not French. You're from Africa. Go back to where you came from you're not French.
They use that as, you know, as a line of attack. Now, my thing is, my opinion is,
coming from South Africa, coming from Africa, and even watching the World Cup in the United States of America,
black people all over the world were celebrating the Africanness of the French players,
all right? Not in a negative way, but rather in a positive way going,
look at these Africans who can become French.
You know what I mean?
It's a celebration of that achievement.
And so this is what I find weird in these arguments
is that people go, they're not African, they're French.
Then I'm like, why can't they be both? Why is that duality only afforded to a select group of people?
Why can they not be African?
So what they're arguing here is, in order to be French, you have to erase everything that is African?
Because what do they mean when they say that?
Why can't they not be African?
So what they're arguing here is, so you cannot be French and African? French, you have to erase everything that is African. Because what do they mean when they say that,
our culture, our this, our this,
like so you cannot be French and African at the same time,
which I vehemently disagree with.
I go, you've seen those players.
I love them.
I've watched all of them, like, I love thrown. I love tho, thi. I love tho, tho, tho, tho, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, but I also don't think you need to take their Africanness away, you know? And that's that is what I love about
America. America's not a perfect country, but what I love about this place is that people
can still celebrate their identity in their Americanness. You can go Juneteen's as a black person and be like, yo, I'm African
American, which is the duality of the two worlds. But here they're going, no, you are
only French. And here's why it vexes me, to be honest. This is what I find interesting.
Is like, when I read stories from Africa and when I watch what politicians say, especially in France, about African migrants,
when they are unemployed, when they may commit a crime or when they are considered unsavory, it's the African immigrants.
When their children go on to provide a World Cup victory for France, we should only refer
to them as France.
And we even saw it with that African man who climbed the building to rescue the baby.
Do you remember that?
We watched him climb that building.
He rescued the child.
And then they gave him French citizenship.
They said, you are now French. So now I'm going, so is he???? we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we should, we should to to to to to to to th. We should to th.

So now I'm going, so is he now no longer African?
Is that what you're saying?
So when he was on the ground, he was African.
And then he climbed up and as soon as he rescued the baby, now he's French.
So if he dropped the baby, the African dropped the baby.
Like, I don't believe that you need, and here's like I say, again with respect, I understand
what the ambassador is saying, I'm not joining the attack, and I know, don't get me wrong,
I know. There's, there's, like, you know, we live in a world where, like, nuance is something that is in short supply. And so you will find, you know, in America for instance, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, the, you, the, you, you, you, you, you, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 't get me wrong, I know. There's, like, you know, we live in a world where, like, nuance is something that is in short supply.
And so you will find, you know, in America, for instance, the alt-right saying,
that's what we've been saying.
They're not French, and we're saying it's like, but if Trevor says it, it's not racist, but if we say this race, yeah, I'll say thrown, I' is, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, yeah, I's, I's, I's, yeah, I's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, and, their, and, and, their, and, and, in, in, in, in.. And, in. And, their, their, their, their, their, th. And, th. And, th. th. thoooooooomoomorrow, their, their, their, their, to somebody that, like, when I say to my friends, what's going on, my nega?
And if a white person came and said the same thing,
yeah, there's a big difference.
When I'm saying the African,
I'm not saying it as a way to exclude them
from their Frenchness, but I'm rather using it
to include them in my Africanness.
dissent. Do you know what I'm saying? That's what I'm trying to say. When somebody else says it the other way, you can use the same line in different ways. People
like, so it's different? Yeah, yeah, it's different. It can be different. It's like
somebody saying, oh so if you play with your naked child, that's a problem, but
if I do it, I'm a pedophile, yeah. There's a big difference. There's a huge difference. So I will continue to praise them for being African because I believe
that they are of Africa, their parents are from Africa, and they can be French at the same
time. And if French people are saying they cannot be both, then I think they have a problem
and not me. Explore more shows from the Daily Show from the Daily Show by searching

Hey, everybody, John Stewart here.
I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly
Show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself,
TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully
obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going
to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I
listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go,
but how many of them come out on Thursday?
I mean, talk about innovative.
