The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

毎日楽しみにしている番組。日本ではリアルタイムでは見れないけど、YouTubeにアップされるので助かっている。

ホストのTrevor Noahのsense of humorと機知に富んだトークはmagneticである。

いくら英語のネイティブ(彼は南アフリカ出身)とはいえ、ここまでキレる英語をユーモアたっぷりに話すというのはすごい才能である。

たとえばこれを見てみる。

この動画の0:31あたりから、以下をほとんどpauseなく話す。

Only Donald Trump could defend himself and, in the same sentence, completely undermine his whole point. You know, it would be like someone saying, “I’m the most tolerant guy out there. Just ask this filthy Armenian.” And then, he goes on to say that not only is he, lie really smart, he is also a genius. And not just any genius, no, no, no, a stable genius, which I guess, is Einstein if he owned a comb, I think. But, still, like, do you know how delusionally confident and un-self-aware you have to be to go on Twitter and declare yourself a stable genius? That’s the ultimate challenge. It’s like a drunk driver getting pulled over by the cops, and the cops is like, “Sir, can you step out of the car?”, and the drunk driver is like, “Oh, I’ll step out of the car. I’ll step out, and I’ll step out straight. You watch me, man. You better get that Snapchat ready. I’m gonna moonwalk your line, man. Call all your other cop friends! I’m a sober genius! I love ya. I’m gonna throw up now.” Now, look, whether or not you agree with Trump on being a genius, he has added himself to the illustrious group of people who have declared themselves extremely smart.
