From comedy centrals world news headquarters in new york, this is the daily show with trevor noah. cheers and applause trevor yeah welcome to the daily show, everybody thank you so much for tuning in thank you for coming out thank you im trevor noah so good to have you here our guest tonight, lets do it, our guest tonight is the creator and star of the new netflix sitcom special about his life as a gay disabled man, Ryan Oconnell is joining us, everybody cheers and applause also on the show, joe biden grabs ahold of the president ial race. Roy wood, jr. Takes his horse to the old town road, and everyone knows your instagram is fake. But first, lets catch up on todays headlines. The American Economy is booming. In fact, unemployment is so low that companies are having trouble finding employees, which is why mcdonalds is looking anywhere it can. Mcdonalds wants workers to spend some of their golden years at the golden arches. The fast food giant partnering with aarp in an effort to hire older employees for anything from morning shifts to management roles. Mcdonalds hopes to fill 250,000 jobs nationwide by this summer. Trevor oh, man, this is cool. Yeah. Partnering up with aarp to find jobs for senior citizens, especially since mcdonalds was their first job when they were teenagers. Now it will be their last job, too. The circle of life. laughter although wouldnt it be funny if you go back to the first mcdonalds you started working at and your old manager is there, like, well, well, well, look whos back. Where have you been the last 50 years . Actually, a doctor. Well, now youre back on the fryer laughter actually, i think this idea will be bad on our health because old people love feeding you. You will try to order a number 7 and grandmother at the register will be, like, thats all, no, have a mcflurry you need extra fries, youre a growing boy. I put apple pies in a tupperware for you. Take them laughter the biggs thing i worry about is mcdonalds says its reaching out to the aarp because they need workers. How do we know . What if one day theres a news report that says, old people are disappear bug the mcrib is back laughter moving on to technology news. Seems like every story is bad, facebook is riewng our kids and roomba is ruining our cats. But heres something good. Bumble can detect crude images and warn you. Expected to launch in june. Bumble has measures in place to protect users by blurring all images by default but recipients have to hold down the photo to view it. Trevor let that sink in. Bumble has had to write a program to censor dick picks because men will not stop sending them. I honestly feel bad for women, because bumble was supposed to be the safe dating app. On tinder you get a match and guys would be, like, dick pick but on bumble, women make the first move. Its, like, match, nice to meet you, and john is like, dick pick wait, let them ask for the difnlgt as offensive as sending a dick pick, is i feel really bad for the guys whose dick picks make it through the filter. laughter yeah, its a likely bad way to find out youve got a weird dick, when the filter is, like, oh, damn, i thought that was the thumb. Yo, you need to get that checked out, man. Im sorry. And finally, in the world of instagram, chimpanzees, theyre one of the humans closest relatives, all right. And today we found out theyre even closer to the hiewnls than we thought. People are going banana also over these opinion credible video of a chimpanzee whos managed to work at how to use an iphone. The academic april is seen scrolling through videos and photos on the smartphone after mastering the ability to swipe through different images. Trevor are you shitting me . laughter theres a chimpanzee who knows how to use instagram . And people are saying how smart chimpsy. I think its the opposite. It appeals the instagram appeals to the chimp part of human brains. Instagram makes me real dumb. Im having complicated discussions in the day about the the economy, then you get on instagram and you go like monkey sounds . cheers and applause also, wouldnt it be cool to get followed by a chimp on instagram . That would be so cool if that happened, like you just saw you were being followed by a chimp and you send a message, like, oh, wow, cocoa, thanks for following me, and cocoa would reply, dickpic lets move on to todays top story. applause if youre a democratic voter, then the 2020 race is giving you more choice than all you can eat buffet. But if youre one of those people always at the buff fygoing, uh, you guys have anything else . Well, the answer is yes. Breaking news, former Vice President voabd i joe bidek in the 2020 race. Joe biden in the 2020 race, a president with stark and stunning video announcements. Images of White Supremacists in charlottesville framing whats at stake were in the value of the in the battle to have the nation. The core values of the nation are standing in the world. Everything that made Merrick Garland is at stake. We cant forget what happened in charlottesville. Even morph important, we have to remember who we are. This is america. Trevor this is america whoo give it up for elderly gambino, everyone. cheers and applause trevor thats right, joe biden has officially entered the democratic race, which brings the total number of democrats running in this primary to 20 people, which is insane. Look at all those faces look at all of those faces half of those people shouldnt be here now look, we all know joe biden, right . He spent eight years as americas Vice President and surprise masseuse, but before that, he had a whole career that you might not know about. You know, kind of like how some people only know Billy Ray Cyrus from little nas old town road remix. And like billy ray, bind was doing his own thing for decades before he was made cool by a young black man. So lets learn more about the democratic races newest frontrunner in another installment of getting to know them. cheers and applause joe biden, the man may be new to the race but he definitely isnt new to life. In fact, at 76, hes older than two Buttigieg Buttigieg buttigieg pronouncing . That makes biden one of toldest in the 2020 race, along with trump who is 72 and Bernie Sanders who is 278. Looks good for his age, though. Doesnt look a day over 240. But joe biden, like most old people, wasnt always old. When started his political career, he was the fresh face. Bidens Senate Career began with him at the fifth youngest senator ever elected at 29 in 1972. He served in the senate for three decades. Bidens early years in the senate saws seismic political change the end of the vietnam wax the impeachment of richard nixon. Id never moved to washington, choosing instead to commute home by train each night. He has the a nickname of amtrak joe. I take this train over 7,400 times since ive gotten into senate. Trevor its nice to see a politician riding public transportation, though its weird. On amtrak it makes sense, but imagine bumping into trump in your uber pool. Do you have an iphone charger . If i dont tweet for 15 minutes, i die. Check out my uber rating, 2. 1 stars, the highest of any passenger in history some say it only goes to two stars, but ive got. 1 extra. laughter and joe biden, he doesnt just have lots of experience in the senate. He also has a lot of experience running for president. Joe biden hoping the third time is the charm after failing to win the democratic nomination in 1988 and 2008. Bidens past two bids for the presidency were rocky. In 2008 he got just 1 of the vote in iowa. The first time in 1988, he dropped out after news reports revealed he plagiarized part of a speech. Trevor oh plagiarism used to be a campaign ruining scandal . Oh, america, you were so cute when you were little you were so cute oooh applause that was a scandal . Nowadays you can say you love grabbing pussies on a bus full of your unreleased tax returns while doing a driveby on fifth avenue and the worst thing is mitt romney will fur row his brow in dismay. laughter people dont just love joe biden because hes a down to earth man. Hes an adorable goof ball. His biggest possible weakness, his reputation for verbal gaffes. As barack says a three letter word, jobs, jobs, jobs. applause you cannot go to a up7eleven or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight indian accent. Im not joking. His momma lived in long island for ten years or, so god rest her soul wait, your moms still alive. God bless her soul. laughter he said this to a politician in a wheelchair. Stand up, chuck, let them see you. Oh, god love you, what am i talking about . I tell you what, youre making everybody else stand up, though, pal. Thank you very much. I tell you what, stand up for chuck trevor thats right lets show chuck what hes missing everyone else stand up lets rub uh it in this guys got no hands, how about a round of applause come on laughter i feel like these gaffes are what made biden perfect Vice President for president obama because obama measured every word. You couldfeelhimthinkingwhenhe wastalking and biden is, like, im thinking and the first thing he thought comes out of his mouth. applause the man has also had major accomplishments. Biden would enter the race as a Foreign Policy heavy raight weights. In the senate he chaired the Foreign Relations committee. 26 years ago a then senator biden wrote the violence against women act. He was a key player on guns in the 90s with the brady bill and assault weapons ban. He endorsed samesex unions before the president s planned announcement. Vice President Joe Biden commonly known as the dealmaker in chief with Mitch Mcconnell trevor joe biden was so good at getting stuff done he even found a way to work with Mitch Mcconnell and they probably got along because mitch was the only person biden wouldnt give a massage to. Because that neck is like quick sand. By the time you realize youre in it, too late. Deep inside that thing before you know it. Aaahhh laughter so for decades, bidens been involved in issues that matter to democrats, gun control, gay marriage, womens rights. He was one of the first to support trans rights even though he thought it was trains probably. laughter biden is already explain ago decades long record including his role in passing the now controversial 1994 crime bill. His vote for the iraq war. Skepticism of anita hill and past comments on busing to desegregate schools. Trevor oooh, okay. So on the down side, joe biden got a lot of things wrong back in the day. But on the up side, he managed to grow his hair back. laughter look at that. Huh . This fyhas the benjamin bunt of scalps now despite problematic positions in the past, many are saying democrats are still likely to vote for joe biden, partly because of how progressive hes become and partly because of how good he is at getting under trumps skin. The press always asks me dont i wish i were debating him . No, i wish we were in high school and i could take him behind the gym. Did you see where biden wants to take me . To the back to have the barn. Me. He wants me. Id love that. Id love that mr. Tough guy. If we were in high school, id take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. That would not last long cheers and applause it would go like this breath hes down and hell never get up trevor old man fight old man fight old man fight applause this would be hilarious. Goaget ready to stumble they going to knock each others teeth out and put them back in . I think they should fight to raise money for charity. Its a winwin. Biden gets to stand up to trump and trump gets to secretly keep the money for charity. Everyone wins. Will joe biden be the democrat who gets to take on trump . Well stro i wanted see. Ill be honest, part of me hopes that it does happen just so we get to watch the most entertaining debate of all time. Sleepy joe biden cheers and applause mr. President , speak softly and carry a big stick. cheers and applause go like this. Hes down and hell never get up cheers and applause trevor well be right back cheers and applause oh, pete . cmon man.

But what about black people and country . Roy wood, jr. Has the answer in another installment of cp time. Ah, welcome to cp time. The only show thats for the culture. Today, we will be discussing Country Music and black folks. Which to a lot of people sounds like Cheddar Cheese on top of sesame chicken, they dont go together well, and if you demand it at a panda express, you will be banned for life. Anyway, recently, a lot of people have been mesmerized by lil nas x, he hit the top of his charts with his country song old town road. Theres been a debate on whether or not this song was rap or country. But if you ask me, its country. The song mentioned a tractor, and tractors are only in the country. In fact, the only time a rapper talks about john deere is if he shot somebody named john deere. And even in that instance you would call him j. D. Eezy. I have believe many people are adverse to calling this song country because they dont think black people can make that type of music. But if you look at the history books, there has been a long history of blacks in the genre. When leslie riddle was discovered in tennessee in the 20s. To deford bailey, the first Country Music black or white to play the grand ole opry. And my grant great aunt roya wood, jr. , who made the smash hit, dont mind the mustache, featuring jimmy lightfoot. But nobody did Country Music bigger than the legendary charlie pride. Charlie pride put up 29 number one singles on the Country Music charts between 1966 and 1989, and if youre wondering how a black man could be a Country Music star in the 1960s, its because talent overcomes racism. Also because most radio listeners didnt realize he was a black man. Charlie pride must have been putting on that white voice. Black people keep that voice in their back pocket. I use my white voice when debt collectors call me on the telephone because they give white people extra time. Oh, im so sorry, i didnt know my bill was due, oh, my goodness. white voice . And its not just black men. The point rp sisters broke through in Country Music long before anyone knew them for r b hits. The most memorable achievements was at the 1975 grammys where they won best country and weston vocal performance. Still to this day, the only country grammy won by black women. Now, some say beyonce should have won that award for that song daddys lessons, but seems like the Country Academy was not ready for that gel ly. So thank you mr. Nas x. You are reminded that black people are not limited by how they are perceived and inspired me to enter the world of Country Music as well. Hootie blowfish cant be the only person out here. Darius rucker, cowboy troy. Ive got a Little Something id like to play for you all and strum a little note here. tapping well broke a string applause guitars are racist. Thats all the time we have for today. Im roy wood, jr. , and this has been cp time. Remember, were for the culture. And anybody know how to fix this damn thing . cheers and applause trevor roy wood, jr. , everybody well be right back. cheers and applause my name is bailey and this is ethan.

Usually when i tell people i have cp, theyre just, like, gross. And going people dont really understand your disability. Looks different on everybody. Simon says straighten. Oh, that ass is everything to me. Hey, hey, focus. Yeah, save that for girned. I love that you think i have enough selfesteem to be on grinder. What would my profile even say . Im gay and disabled, but i promise not to drill on you till the third date. Trevor please welcome Ryan Oconnell. cheers and applause trevor welcome. Hi. Trevor how you doing, ryan . Im good. Thank you for having me. Trevor welcome to the show, and congratulations on your show, first and foremost. Thank you, thank you. Trevor yeah, its a journey that you have been on that i dont think anyone would have predicted include you canself because you first wrote about your life, and it was meant to just be, you know, paperback and you were going to get the story out there, all of a sudden it blows up and jim parsons sees the story and says, i love this, we should make it into a tv show. Thats what youve done. Youve written a story about your life and based on a true story, youre a disabled person whos also gay, and its one of the funniest premises as ever because you come out as gay but are worried about coming out as disabled. Thats wild. I come from a big gay family. Coming out is mbd for me. Its, like, what closet is this bitch going to hide laughter i was born with a mild case of cerebral palsy. I never really related to it. I got hit by a car when i was 20 years old, i moved to new york to go to school and everyone thought my limp was from my car accident. I thought, life hack, i can just be an accident victim now. laughter i hope we dont get hit by a car, but anyone could. Everyone is, like, oh, my god, its so sad with cp theyre, like, its so confusing. I did a life hack but it ended up hacking my life. Trevor you have a story where the truth comes out and you start being yourself. I was the boy in the bubble when the bubble pops. Yeah, no, its a journey, though. This character struggles with internalized ableism and, you know, when youre growing up in an ableist society, youre basically taught to hate who you are if youre disabled. Trevor right. The journey to selflove is really long, like maybe four seasons. applause maybe five, i dont know. So much growing to do. Trevor so much growing. So much growing. Trevor so much growing to do. So much limping. laughter trevor you know what i love about you is i remember watching the show, and i was, like, you have such a sneaky way about you because youre so selfaware and youre also aware of the world and how we perceive you as a person. Youre almost like an emotional kaisekeyser soze. Was it difficult making jokes where people start out being comfortable and realizing these jokes arent about you or the disability but how the world struggles to figure it out with the disability . Yeah, i think jokes should never be on the powerless, it should always be on the powerful. It was important to me my disability should never be the punch line. Trevor right. But when you give the disabled hearne the agency and license to tell the story, you will get the best story, because i lived it. So it was important to me i create an accurate representation of being disabled. Trevor one of the moments that sticks with everyone is there was a gay sex scene in the show and its a gay sex scene many have never seen before on tv and i like you chose to do it very specifically. Why . No ones seen it but many people have lived it. laughter so when that happens im just confused. Im, like, i know plenty of people have been ago anal sex for a long time and why has it not been shown in an accurate way. That scene was not fun to shoot. It was really difficult to be on my back for eight hours. But i think we did it. Trevor you did it. Yeah. Trevor i think you made a show that has a lot of heart. Its funny. Its uncomfortable at moments in the right way and most importantly a show that could easily stick with people for four, five, maybe six seasons. Oh, six. Netflix, hello . laughter are their ears ringing . Trevor thank you so much for being on the show. I appreciate it. Super funny show. Special is streaming on netflix. Ryan oconnell, everybody.
