You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, undressing Kim Kardashian, KAP-Shakup, and Davido. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out of Christmas. Thank you for being here. Look at you, thank you for being here. Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you thanks, look at you, look at you, thanks,. We're going to get into that. Our very own Michael Costa is creating a new K-pop supergroup and Kim Kardashian has broken the internet and history this time.

Plus Nigerian mega star Davido is joining us on the show tonight. Maybe he'll finally let me be a backup dancer in one of his music videos. So let's do this people, let's jump straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with the midterms. As you probably know, right now in America, primary season is in full swing, and the primaries are the elections before the elections that determine what's going to happen in the elections before the main election. Anyway, last night, four states held the elections before the elections that determine what's going to happen in the elections before the main election. Anyway, last night, four states held their primary elections. And it was actually a good night for Donald Jabberwarki Trump.

You see, in South Carolina, one of the few Republican congressmen who voted to impeach Trump lost badly after Trump campaigned hard against him. Yeah, and that's the weird thing about Trump. He might not remember how to speak English, but he'll never forget anyone who's done him wrong. Yeah, he's probably got like a revenge spreadsheet, 400 rows deep, just sitting there on the computer like, insert row, format, enemy formula, Mike Pence equals not good, print. Meanwhile, in Nevada, an election denier won the Republican nomination for Secretary of State,

which, by the way, is the office that certifies the election. Yeah, and while that's not great for democracy, it is fantastic news for Donald Trump. Because you see, if this guy gets the job, that's like having your boy as your parole officer. You know? It's like, nah, no, don't worry, man. I'll 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t thi. thi. thi. the job, that's like having your boy as your parole officer, you know? It's like, nah, no, don't worry, man. I'll pee in the cup. We can't have you going away, man. We got a party on Friday. The only blemish on the night for Donald was that one of the candidates he endorsed in South Carolina, lost. And boy was she sorry. Another South Carolina race gaining national attention is now decided. Representative Nancy Mace won the District 1 Republican primary against Trump

Trump endorsed candidate Katie Arrington, Arrington conceded, endorsing Mace and apologizing to former President Donald Trump. And to Donald J. Trump. Sir, I'm sorry I couldn't give you the birthday present that I wanted to give to you. But you will always be my number 45, my number 46. You know, I don't know why anyone would think Trump supporters are a cult. It's just a normal woman apologizing to Trump for losing her election on his birthday. It's not a cult.

This is a very normal thing. Please forgive me, dear leader. So normal. By the way way what was all that about you'll always be my number 45 and my number 46 because I get what she said but like I know Trump was the 45th president but is she saying that he's still the president because then he wouldn't be the 46th president he'd still be the 45th president? He'd still be the 45th president, but is she saying that he's still the president? Because then he wouldn't be the 46th president. He'd still be the 45th president. That's confusing.

And if I'm confused, you best believe Donald Trump is really confused. Best believe. Best believe. Yeah, he's probably watching that speech like, wait, so I'm Joe Biden? What a twist! I should call him Nightshamaland. But let's move on to some international news coming out of the United Kingdom. America's estranged father.

Like many countries around the world, the UK has been dealing with an influx of refugees over the past few years. And usually, usually when a refugee flees their country, they have the right to apply to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho th. tho 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 to to to to their to their to their their their to their to thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.a. Ia. Ia. Im. I'm their the world, the UK has been dealing with an influx of refugees over the past few years. And usually, usually when a refugee flees their country, they have the right to apply to any nation in the world to take them in. But recently, in response to the large number of requests, the UK announced that they've struck a deal with the East African nation of Rwanda to take the refugees, thrtrying to stay in the UK. Yeah. So in a way, they did the geopolitical version of when your crush says, no, I'm sorry, but you should totally date my friend. Now obviously this arrangement has ruffled a few feathers. And before the UK could deport its first plane full of refugees,

a European court canceled the flight. The first flight of a controversial deportation plan by the UK was grounded at the 11th hour. The plane was on the tarmac, its engines had started and the cabin crew was seen boarding when the European Court of Human Rights intervened. Under the controversial government plan, anyone who arrived in Britain illegally this year could be relocated to Rwanda. Once in Rwanda, they'll be allowed to apply for asylum there, but not in Britain. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it is about halting human trafficking.

We have to interrupt the busiest model of the gangs. Human rights groups and church leaders have criticized the plan as immoral. Hmm. It's a tough story. Yeah, because usually when Boris Johnson takes a position, the opposite position is the right one. Yeah, that's why his hair is always like, wherever he goes, I'm going the other way! But, if I'm being honest, if you ignore Boris, the argument does make sense.

Many gangs, smugglers and human traffickers have started abusing the refugee crisis to make money off of desperate migrants, right? And so by doing this, people who are genuinely trying to escape a war zone, they have a safe country to go to, but now the smugglers don't have a business anymore. Yeah, because no one's going to pay you to smuggle them into Rwanda. Yeah, it's true. If the UK wants its immigrants to leave, don't deport them. Just let them marry into the royal family and eventually they'll leave on their own.

It's long. They get something and they get out. And can I just say as an African, as an African, I take a little bit of offense when human rights groups in Europe say, you cannot send refugees to Africa, those are human beings. And who lives in Africa? Get the f-fee out of here, man. What does that mean? Yo, let me tell you something.

I know some parts of Africa have a tough, but we've also got cities, we've got Wi-Fi, you know? We've also got racist, white people, you guys left them behind, acting like we don't got shit. Some of these Europeans think the only hotel in Rwanda is the hotel in Rwanda is the hotel in Rwanda. Actually, they've got a Radison blue, by the way, the way, the way, the thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, they, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thian, th.

There's a waffle bar on everything. This is the problem. This is the problem when there's only one well-known movie that takes place in your country.

You know? It's all the people go on. It's like judging France based on Rattatoey. Not all the restaurants are run by rats. Because here, Rwanda, than, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, than, than, their, than, than, their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their is their is the problem, is the problem is the problem is the problem is the problem is the problem is the problem is the problem is the problem is their, their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is their. their. their. their. th. the, is the. the. thean, is only. thean, is only. ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttha. tha. talk shit about them? Imagine if you offered to donate a kidney to someone. And then that person was like, uh, no, thank you. I'm going to see if there's a more developed kidney. I'm like, man, go pee blood then, bitch.

Let's move on to some other news. What do you get when the Top Gun Premier, you're wrong, but that was a good guess. No, the big controversy that's blowing up the internet right now is what Kim Kardashian did with Marilyn Monroe's dress. Well, one of the most iconic gowns in American fashion may now be damaged. A Marilyn Monroe collector is making the claim after Kim Kardashian wore a dress belonging to Monroe to the Met Gala last month.

The collector says that there are missing crystals and several rips along the zipper. Monroe wore the dress while singing happy birthday to President Kennedy in 1962. There's no comment yet from Kardashian, or Ripley's believe it or not, who lent the dress to Kardashian. You know, sometimes I feel bad for Kim Kardashian. When she doesn't wear clothes, people are angry.

When she does wear clothes, people are angry. What's a lady to do? But at the same time, Kim, what were you doing? The Marilyn Monroe dress is a one-of-a-kind piece of American history, right? That's it. The med gala happens every year. People dressed like hamburgers there. You could have worn anything else Because if you're entrusted with a piece of American history, you better do everything you can to take care of it. Everything. I mean just as an example. I recently bought the stove pipe hat that was worn by Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. And the reason I bought it is because it's the perfect

nacho bowl. Like holds it really well, keeps it at a nice height, you know? But you see, but you see, when I'm done eating nachos out of it, I always make sure to rinse it out afterwards because that's being respectful. Yeah. The man freed the slaves, come on y'all. So look, Kim obviously took a big risk with. The man freed the slaves. Come on, y'all. So look, Kim obviously took a big risk with a delicate artifact and it backfired. But, you know who deserves most of the blame here? Ripley's.

Yeah, they're the ones who loaned the dress to Kim. And first of all, why does Ripley's, believe it or not, owned this dress in the first place. A woman wore a dress? Yeah, I believe that. I think I can wrap my head around that concept. But because Ripley's owns the dress, they're in charge of preserving it. So if they told her, it was okay to wear it, that's on them. You know what I'm saying? It's on them. Yeah. what you can't do with historical artifacts. I don't know any of that stuff. I only learned it from the story.

Like, if the Louvre called me, and they said I could kiss the Mona Lisa for a selfie, I would do it. And I would use tongue. So look, a lot of people are at fault here. A lot of people have made mistakes. To make up for it, I think Ripley should have to sell the dress to a real museum that will actually look after it properly.

And Kim Kardashian, well, she has to show up to next year's MetGala wearing some of the other historic items from the Ripley's collection. Yeah. She still pulls it off. I don't know how she does it. All right, and finally, like many tech companies who are riding high during the pandemic, Netflix is now no longer having a good time. Their share price has dropped 75 percent. They lost 200,000 subscribers, and it turns out the new comedy special they bought from

Dave Chappelle was actually cake. So, other than laying off employees and raising prices, Netflix has to figure out another way to convince us to come back and chill. And so that's why they've they they they they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the figure out another way to convince us to come back and chill. And so that's why they've decided to pin their hopes on a tried and true franchise. This morning, Netflix says it is turning its smash hit Squid Game into a reality show competition series. Netflix released a promo announcing casting for Squid Game the Challenge. The new show is set to offer the largest cast prize in reality TV history, a whopping 4.56 million dollars.

Squid Game is, of course, a South Korean series on Netflix. The reality show is looking for English language speakers from any part of the world. Netflix has not announced how they plan to adapt the game where contestants competed a series of schoolyard games. Okay, wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, if you're going to make squid game and nobody dies, then what's the point? So now I'm just watching people play red light, green light and tug of war?

What am I? Camp counselor? Shit, I didn't even watch the kids when I was a camp counselor. And don't worry, most of them didn't drown. I'm just saying, this show was already about a game show. So you don't need to make a game show about it. You know, if you want to do this, you should take like a normal Netflix show and turn that into a game show. That makes more sense. That makes more sense. Thea tha tha tha the the the the the the. Thea thiiiiii. Thea th. Thea thi. Thea thi. Thea thi. thi. thi. thi. thinin' thin' th. the. the. I'm the. I'm just tho. I'm just thi.

Yeah, you could put a bunch of contestants in a high school and see how long it takes until someone notices they're actually 25 years old. Well, ah! Either way, I'm just saying they better find

something more interesting than cutting out cookies. Yeah, you know what they should do? One of the challenges should be, you have to try to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to try, to to to to to to the to the to the to to to the the the to the to the the the, thoom, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, they're, they're, the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the, the the, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, thea., thea., try., thea., thea., too., too., th thotry to find the good shows on Netflix. Yeah. And let me tell you, half the people are dying in that game. They're just like, ah, which menu? Which menu? Which menu? All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to something that everyone loves. It's time to check in on today's lot of Duceae, So exciting. Ha ha ha. Oh, so excited. What's going on, don't you?

How you doing? Hello? Hello, friends. Now listen, I'm just here to do this here. Lado. Okay? Now, I know you've had other correspondence out here. I will not name names.

But they don't want to give you the weather. They don't want to give you the traffic. You've noticed. I've noticed and I have bills to pay. So I have no problem doing my job. So... All right, let's do it. Let's get into the lotto. Let's get into the lotto. Now I know that there's no cash prize. Let's not talk about that. Let's just do the lot so. Okay. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. th. th. th right. th. th. th. th right. to right. to right. to right. to right. to right. to right. to right. to right. to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the 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 toooooo. too. too. Okay. Four. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. What? Are you just making up numbers and then they're popping up on the screen?

No, numbers have existed for thousands of years. I didn't make you love. That's not what I'm saying. Are you just saying a number and then it popped? Like, where's the machine? You don't need a machine? Why, you just try to replace me? Is this a self-checkout situation?

No, I'm not trying to replace you. I'm just saying, where's the machine that chooses the numbers? Oh, I can give you a random number. Here, say a number. Okay, uh, 36. Wrong, 19! Nope. No. By the way, listen, I was hearing what you were saying before.

My girl, Kimberly, Noel, Kardashian. Why they keep coming for my girl, my girl. Why they keep coming for my girlfriend? Why they keep coming for my girl? Oh, we supposed to be mad? That she wore this dress? And it might have repped a little bit. And some sequence came off. Have y'all worn a dress with sequence?

If you start with a dress and sequence, you don't end with a dress and sequence. That lets me know that y'all ain't never been to no knife before, or you've never been to a sworee? Obviously. That's how these dresses work, okay? That's not her fault. Plus, why would you give her this dress? You know that dress didn't fit. We all know that dress didn't fit.

And why do we know that dress didn't fit? Because usually when you see Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala, she's giving you body, all of it. She had on a jacket around her waist the whole time. That dress didn't zip shut. Exactly. You've never been in a dress that couldn't zip shut. What do you have a shawl on all night?

Oh, it's never been 11 p.m. the night before a prom and you're like, whoa, this dress don't fit? Shaw. They took a 2022 ass and and put a black lady ass in it. Of course it was not going to work. Yeah, but don't say, I think the bigger argument people were having is they're saying that dress is a historical artifact. That's why Kim shouldn't have worn it.

I think that's what they're saying. Oh, okay. Well, listen, if you let me get a hold of like a historical artifact, say like George Washington's wig? Oh, I am straightening that bitch and I'm in every pub in Atlanta. You wearing it? Listen, they've been accusing us the years for having horse hair and now I bought some real horse hair and I'm out here and I'm out here, swa'erfing and I got Thomas' swera' sswa'a All right, Josie, let's get the rest of the lotter numbers, please. Oh, yeah. 38! Twenty-eight.

Twenty-seven. Twenty-seven. the-Sloan everybody, but family cannot win. Ah! Congratulations, mommy, mommy cannot win. Don't go away, because, no, no, no. No, family cannot win. Family cannot win. Don't say Sloan, everybody, but family cannot win,

Welcome back to the Daily Show. You know, even if you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years, you still know who BTS is.

The superstar K-pop group that has taken the world by storm. But after selling tours, Grammy nominations and being valued at $100 million,, the band has decided it's time to take a break. The wildly popular Kpop group, BTS, announcing they are taking some time apart, saying they've hit a rough patch and want to work on solo projects. Armies on Twitter overwhelmingly supportive of the boys' decision to rest and recalibrate, Jean Kuk saying, to fans, we're each going to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to theaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq. the the the the the the their theirf. thae, thae, their their their, their, their, their their, their their, their, their their their theirf. their theirf. theirf. theirf. theirf. theirf. theirf. theirf. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theaq.

Junkook, mom, I want to live at Junkook's house. Now don't worry people, BTS is not over forever. This is not Internet Explorer, they will be coming back. But with BTS on hiatus, that does mean that there's room for someone else to move up in the K-pop game. And our very own Michael Costa is just the man to try.

there was like a shock for them. Like some athletes would talk about how they weren't used to a crowd cheering. Some people would talk like, you know, did you have anything like that? Um, yes. Especially, like, I was out in the thousands and thousands of people in the crowd. And then they booked us for a show, but the restrictions was that they can be at the show, but there has to be like space between the tables, but they can't stand up. And most of my songs is dancing songs. So I remember, and guess what I remember?

So I'm performing. And it's like, they want to get they. they.

So it was two things. I really wanted this watch for my birthday, and I wanted my management and my personal team to get it. Okay. So it started off as, you know, David wants this watch. Let's all put in money.

Yeah. And then by mistake, my manager because I'm the one that's always given. Right. You know, I'm never really the one to receive presents. I'm the one always giving presents. I'm the one always making sure that everybody is okay. Right. So, I'm like, you know what, this year, I'm putting myself first. So, um, I was like, me and my friend was in the balcony, I was like, yo, should I put my account and see if that shit? If it gets lit?

He said, I have one account I don't really use like that. And the balance on that account was like zero. I'm telling zero. So I tweeted, I was like, I just shipped the Rose Royce to Nigeria. You know, so the price of the car is basically the same,'re trying to clear it. So yeah, because it doubles in many countries when you just like an essay Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah. So if you buy a car $500,000 when to get it off the ship back home you're paying like another 400,000 you know because of the taxes. Yeah, because of the taxes. Yeah, I'm like, I'm about to just have my friends. my my my my my my my my my my my my my to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to get my f f f f fared to just to just to get my fared.

So I put it up. Because you gotta free the Rolls Royce, obviously.

Yeah. I put it up. Two minutes, equivalent to $1. I'm gonna say the amount in dollars. 20,000, in like seven minutes. I'm like, aha. And then I went to go take a shower. I come back, it's like 70,000. I'm like, so you know what I started doing?

I started calling out people, like famous people. Like, hey, come on. You know I gave you a hit song last year? Come on. Come on. I'm like, everybody that I've helped. I'm like everybody that I've helped. Everybody I've helped. rise by lift and others. Everybody that has helped in every way just donate money to me. And it came up to, I was scared, it came up to how much, 600,000? 600,000. And at this

point I'm like, can I keep this? You feel me like, so much is going on in the world? You know, I'm saying like, I can't be that insensitive and I just felt, you know, I spoke to my dad, he's my like my mentor. Yeah, yeah. I pick up the phone. Hey son, you know, you know, you know, we can't keep that money, right? I'm like, I was like, we think the same. I was like, you know,'ve done so much for the community can I tell you that this is it's funny you say that because like one thing that I've learned around the world Nigerians love giving people money especially when they've done something they like yeah like I remember like I

would I did a comedy show once in South Africa and you just do the show and then you're done and then after the show and Nigerian guy that was like that that that that that that that was that that that was that that was that that that that that that was that that that was like that that that was like that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that was that was that was that was th. th. that was that was th. th. that was that was that was that was like. that was like. that was like. that was like. that was like. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that was that was like. that was like. that was like. that was like. that was like. that. And then he shook my hand and it was just a wad of cash. Yes. And I was like, no, no, what is happening here? And he was like, that's for a good show. I was like, they paid me already. He's like, no, no, no, no. So I can team, you know, to donate all $600,000 to orphanages around Nigeria. Ah, my man. My man. And, and, and, and. I love that. Yeah, it was crazy.

Yeah, it was crazy. So, just for accountability. Yeah. Just for accountability, it's like, we have to know which orphanage is real. We got to, I had to send people to each, like, every to make sure there's actually an orphanage there. Yes, you know what I'm saying? So it was taking like two months, right? You know, I started getting tweeats like, man,
