in New York, and so he invited me to come and speak.

They're doing some amazing things.

Not just the organization, the people they're supporting.

I get to the event and I speak for like 10 minutes

and I get off stage and I'm waving to the crowd.

I'm walking backwards off the stage

moving to the backstage area,

and then crash into a person.

As I crash into them I see the eyes of people looking at me

and everyone's like, "Oh, shit, what have you done?"

You know what I mean? (audience laughing)

I'm like, "Calm down, humans bump humans all the time."

And I turn and the person I bumped into

was Barack Obama.

(audience gasping)

Yeah, but like physically,

like when I say bump I mean bump.

(audience laughing)

I turn and then he's like,

(audience laughing)

but listen to me, his hands are up

and then he's like, "Watch where you go."

(audience laughing)

Yeah, he said, "Watch where you walk."

And then I was like, "Ay, man, I'm walkin' over here."

(audience laughing)

You should have seen everyone's face.

They were like, "Oh, shit."

(audience laughing)

'Cause I think they thought I didn't recognize him

or I didn't know who he was.

You could see people were like,

"That's the President of the United States of America!"

And I was like, "Yo, man, calm down."

So I was like, "Hey, how are you Mr. President?

"I haven't seen you in a while."

And he was like, "Doing good.

"How you been?

"You good?"

I'm like, "Yeah, I'm doing good."

And I'm looking at his face, and I didn't intends this,

but I'm looking into his eyes and I'm speaking to him

and in that moment he's looking really, really good.

His skin is looking fuller.

(audience laughing)

Do you know what I mean?

No, he doesn't look as stressed as he was.

So it slipped out, I didn't plan it at all.

So I'm speaking to him, he's like, "How you doing?

"Da da da da da."

And then he says that, and I was like,

"You're looking cute Mr. President."

(laughing) (audience cheering)

And he goes, "Well, thank you.

"Thank you."

And I was like, "No, no, I meant like you look good."

So the blackout happened ...

Dave, what day was the blackout?

Saturday?

So Dave and I, we live in the same building,

and he came from South Africa with me

to come work on "The Daily Show."

Which it's the blackout, our building is gone,

everything is shut down, someone's trapped in the elevator,

and we're all chilling together in Dave's apartment.

He's the only person who had candles.

I've never thought of candles.

(audience laughing)

I've never.

I've genuinely never thought of candles.

He just lit candles,

like I didn't even think of these things.

So our other friend, who's staying in the building visiting,

comes down so now you've got these three black people

from South Africa hanging out together.

We're just chilling, we're having a good time.

And what happens, because we're doing nothing

now in the blackout.

And so we needed to move a TV from one apartment

to another apartment, right?

Which I know is a weird thing,

but long story short one person needed a TV

to watch something in 4K and they didn't have a 4K TV,

so we were like, "We'll move the 4K TV to your apartment

"so you can watch the thing."

So anyway, we're like, "Okay, cool, let's get the TV,

"let's move the thing."

So there we are in the hallway,

it's a pretty big TV, like a 60 inch TV,

carrying the thing and walking in the hallway.

As we walk into the hallway the lights come on.

(audience laughing)

And then (laughs)

and then all the neighbors come out,

'cause everyone wants to see

if the lights are on everywhere,

so everyone opens their doors in the hallway

and then it's like we're there with a TV.

(audience laughing)

You know what's funny?

'Cause I love my neighbors and we know each other.

The neighbors are, "Hey."

And they're like, "Hi, Trevor, Hi, David."

And we're like, "Um, it's our TV.

(audience laughing)

"We're moving it to another."

and you could just see it was an awkward moment.

It was like, "Ah, man."

Went to the Met Gala last night.

Always insane. (audience cheering)

always insane.

You know what's crazy about the Met Gala

is that every single time I go to the Met Gala

I'll get more hate in my Twitter feed and stuff

about fashion than about regular politics.

With politics I'll say whatever I say on the show

and people will be like, "You know what?

"I don't like your point of view and blah blah blah."

And whatever, but with fashion people are just like,

"How dare you?

(audience laughing)

"How dare you?"

'Cause my look,

so the theme of the event this year was camp, okay?

I guess everyone has a different interpretation of camp,

but from what I understand camp doesn't mean gay necessarily

even though especially black queer people in America

were the ones who moved the idea of camp forward.

But people have this idea camp means drag,

camp means gay only, do you get what I'm saying?

So camp was the theme.

Everybody was like, "What does camp mean?"

So everyone was trying to figure this out.

I was dressed by Off-White's Virgil Abloh,

and so he was like, "We're gonna do this thing for you

"playing off the whole political statements

"back in the day in camp.

"We're gonna go our interpretation of camp."

So you get to the event and everyone,

'cause this is my favorite thing about the Met Gala

is no one actually knows what the thing is.

(audience laughing)

This is the thing I'm gonna tell you tonight,

no one actually knows.

This is like a dirty secret, everyone goes like,

"We're here for the event and the theme,"

but imagine if everyone got invited to an event

and got a different dress code.

That's what happens at the Met Gala.

We all think we came with the right thing

and then when you get there everyone looks around like,

"Oh, I'm not at the right event.

(audience laughing)

"Not at the right event."

Like Zack Posen, he's a designer,

and he's friendly to me and everything.

As a joke he looked and then he was like,

"Oh my God Trevor, a T-shirt?"

And then I was like, "Yeah, it's part of the-"

And then he's like, "Mm-mm-mm."

(audience laughing)

I was like, "What?"

And then I felt bad.

I was like, "Oh, jeez, did I do this wrong?"

Then I turn and Katy Perry was a hamburger.

(audience laughing)

Then I was like,

"No, I don't know how this fashion thing works,

"but I'm pretty certain a hamburger

"is not better than a T-shirt.

"I'm just gonna put my money on it."

So then I was like, "I'm just gonna go in,

"I'm gonna have fun."

Then I went in and people were like,

"Who's dressed like what?"

And everything.

And let me tell you something now,

people think that the Met Gala is just people

walking up a carpet.

No, it's a beautiful exhibition where they raise money

for the Metropolitan Museum so they can keep the prices low

so they can get greater exhibitions,

people in New York can go and see the space.

So you go through the exhibition, which is really cool,

and then there's dinner.

And you know what isn't easy to sit down as?

A hamburger.

(audience laughing)

Guess who's winning with the T-shirts?

All right, dope, anything else before we move on?

Anything?

Yes, ma'am, here.

- [Woman] So, we noticed you got here around 3:00.

What do you do in the time period between 3:00

(drowned out by audience laughing)

- So let me tell you, this was the most fun.

So normally I get here in the morning, right?

But now because of the voice

I have to start my day doing vocal training,

so I go see my vocal coach

and then I go see the voice doctors.

So normally we start the day at like 9:30, 10:30

together here at the show.

Today and this week I go to my voice doctor,

then I go to my voice coach, do a whole thing with them.

They look at it, they put things down my throat

I make sounds.

Eeeee.

And then they look at it.

Today, when I was coming ....

Today was one of my favorite days ever,

'cause then when I was on the way to the show today

someone in one of those sanitation trucks,

you know the ones that sweeps the road and stuff?

Yeah, they just pulled up and then they honked.

They were like, "Yo, Trevor, want to get in?"

(audience laughing)

And I was like, "No."

And then I was like, "Yeah, actually I do."

(audience laughing)

And then I jumped in the sanitation truck

and then we just swept the streets together.

So I was supposed to come straight to work,

but then I was just driving around New York

sweeping the streets with the person

and we were just driving around.

It was like,

"Ah, sweep there, sweep there, sweep there, sweep there."

And then that's what we did for a while,

then he was like,

"All right, can I drop you off at the show?"

Then I was like, "Yeah, drop me off at the show."

Then drove me in the sanitation truck

and I literally hopped out at "The Daily Show."

There were some people who saw me and their faces,

'cause the sanitation truck pulls up

and it opens at the front, and then I popped out

and I saw people look at me.

And you know immediately when a person's mind just goes,

"No."

(audience laughing)

'Cause their face was like, "Ah, that's Trevor."

Then their mind was like, "That is not.

"Trevor does not come out of a sanitation truck

"to 'The Daily Show.'"

So they looked at me and just ignored

that I existed as a human being,

and then I walked past

and some people were waiting to come to "The Daily Show"

and they were just like, "Nope, that wasn't him.

"We will wait for the real Trevor Noah

"who does not emerge from sanitation trucks."

Do I miss the summer or the warm weather?
