And I'm on. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. What's going on, everybody. Welcome to the day of shot and cover another. Thank you so much for tunnigh to be in person.

We've got a really great show for you tonight. Florida is hurricane bonding. Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government using Diet Coke and Ronnie Chang faces down Kim Jong-un. Plus, our guest tonight is an international icon. Imad is joining us on the show everybody.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Looking forward to that. So, let's do this people. Let's jump straight into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. Let's kick things off in public health news. The FDA has issued new guidelines as to which foods can be labeled healthy. And that now includes nuts and salmon. And as much as I appreciate that, I didn't need the government to tell me that
Starting point is 00:01:47 salmon is healthy. We all know that because that's the thing that people order at weddings when they want to let you know that they're better than everyone else. Oh yeah, I'll have the salmon. Yeah. In international news, the Queen of Denmark has stripped her grandchildren, grandchildren of their royal titles. Yeah, because she says she doesn't want them to be limited by their royal duties, which is the most posh way ever to say, bitch, get a job. Yeah, those grandkids must have been so grateful. It's like, wow, grandma, thanks for not forcing me to be a prince anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I really hated all the attention and the free jewelry. I love being known as the grand kid, formerly known as Prince. Thank you. It's so funny how the British monarchy had so much drama that all the other monarkeys are now looking around like, maybe we should shut this shit down while we're still ahead. Yeah, yeah. Oh, in gaming news, this is a fun one. The maker of the card game Uno has come out officially and updated its rules to clarify
Starting point is 00:02:46 that you cannot play a draw two on top of another draw two to make the next person draw four. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they say draw two, you take the draw two. That's it. That's it. I agree with you. I mean, who makes these rules?
Starting point is 00:03:02 Who makes these rules? I will say it is cool that they're doing it. You know if they ask me we need to fix more game rules. You know forget uno I think that works. Monopoly needs prison reform. Yeah my brother gets like nine turns buying up all the properties while my symbol is stuck in jail. How is that fair? No justice, no peace! But let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day. Starting with the fall the fall the fall the fall the fall the fall the fall the fall the fall the fall. the fall. the fall. the f f f f f f f f f f f. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. to th. th. to th. to to th. th. to th. to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to th. to th. th. the. the. the. theeeeeeean. theeeeeeeeean. toeeeeeeean. I toe. toe. I toe. I toe. I to on to some of the biggest stories of the day, starting with the fallout from Hurricane Ian. Last night, the monster storm hit Florida, like Florida just came home with a report card full of F's, flooding the streets, destroying homes and infrastructure and leaving millions without power. Now, the good news is that people took all the advance warning seriously,
Starting point is 00:03:41 so despite the destruction there were very few casualties. And as the storm recedes, we're learning about some amazing ways that the people of Florida have pulled together while the storm was raging. Over my shoulder here, you can see the incredible power of hurricane in, but now comes, as we've already seen, the selfless power of people. Neighbors, friends, even complete strangers, doing whatever they can to help. Rescues onshore and on land. Firefighters helping a woman escape floodwaters. But the fire department also thanking local jet skiers for helping out, writing,
Starting point is 00:04:18 sometimes we need a ride to the rescue ourselves. In Benita Beach, one good Samaritan braiding the elements to save a cat trapped outside on an air conditioner. Many of the sailboats are on their side. There was a guy who went on to get his three pets off that were still on the boat. In St. Petersburg, staff at a botanical gardens, hunkering down with flamingos to see them through the storm. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:47 That is amazing. That's so nice, just to see like everybody coming together, you know, helping cats helping the flamingos. I mean, it's nice, but do flamingos need more help than humans in a hurricane? It's just weird. Just like, don't worry, flamingos, I'll protect you. The Flamingos like, uh, where the waterbird, dude, we'll protect you. But this is all amazing, right? The response to the storm was so powerful that it led to something we've never seen before. Jet Ski is being responsible. Yeah, imagine that. Getting rescued by a jet ski is, Yeah, imagine that. that th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th-in, th-in, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th, th, we, we'll, we, we'll, we, we, we'll, we, we, we, we, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thi. theeean, thi. that way on the jet ski, right? Yeah, you're gonna be there like, oh my god, thank you.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Thank you. I owe you my life. All right, shredded, bro! Yeah, woo! Crank that diesel, bitch! And that's for the people rescuing the cat. That is true selflessness. Because that's somebody who's who's who's who's who's who's who's who's who's who's who's who's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thiole. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's the the the the the the the the thii. thi. the thi. thi. the the the thi. thi. thi. thi. their. thi. their. theat. the theat. the theat. theat. that's that's that's that's theat. that's that's that's that's somebody who's going, look, we lost everything. Our house is destroyed. We don't have power. But, and hear me out on this, what if we also had our faces scratched to shit, huh? What do you think? It really is beautiful to see.
Starting point is 00:05:57 But let's move on. Because while Florida is recovering from this storm, there is still the storm that is always hitting America. Donald J. Trump. New revelations on the final days of former President Donald Trump's presidency. In reporting provided to CNN from a forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Trump repeatedly told aides following his election loss that he would refuse to leave the White House. Haberman's book reports that Trump told one aid quote, I'm just not going to leave.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Haberman reports Trump quizzed nearly everyone around him on how to stay in power. Among those he reportedly asked, the valet who brought him Diet Coke when Trump pressed a red button on his oval office desk. Oh man, that is so much pressure to put on your soda guy. Like he asked the valet who brings him the diet coke, he's just like, soda boy, I need you to make me the Emperor of America. How do I do it? How do I? He's just like, oh, yeah, he's just got a Coke zero, man. You know, if I'm honest, I think it is less weird to get advice from your Diet Coke valet and more weird to have a Diet Coke valet. But I mean, once you got him, you might as well get his input, right?
Starting point is 00:07:15 Just be like, yeah, what do you think about it? How do I overtake a country, huh? The real travecy to me is that Trump didn't follow through with his plan of just not leaving. Yeah, I would have been exciting. Yeah, I would have loved to have seen the FBI chasing Trump around the White House, like an episode of Scooby-Doo, right? They chase him through one door, he chases them through another door. And then they're all being chased by ghost. It's just like, uh-oh, many people areob, so much danger. Let's move on. Let's move on from the previous administration to the current one.
Starting point is 00:07:50 As you all know, Joe Biden is the president of the United States. But what if I told you, there's also a vice president of the United States? Yeah, it's true. Her name is Kamala Harris. What? I can hear you now. If that's the case, Trevor, how come I've th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thate, thate, thateateate. thate, thate, thate, thate, thate, thate, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. to to to thue. Her name is Kamala Harris. What? I can hear you now. If that's the case, Trevor, how come I've never seen her? What are you going to tell me next? Slenderman is real? And I should kill my family? Okay. Well, I can't speak to the veracity of Slenderman. But I do have proof that Kamala Harris exists. South Korea for the last leg of her four-day trip to Asia. She paid a visit to the demilitarized zone that divides the Korean Peninsula.
Starting point is 00:08:33 The move is to demonstrate America's commitment to its Asian allies. Well played, Kamala, well played. If there's one way to remind people you exist is to go stand at the border between North and South Korea. Now everybody knows your name. Yeah, it's the same way no one knew that I existed in high school. Nobody until the day I streaked naked across the football field. And from then on, everyone knew one testical travelers in our school.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Oh, they knew me. They all know me. Anyway, because this is such a major moment on Vice President Harris's trip, we go live to our very own Ronnie Chang, who is in the demilitarized zone. Ronnie, how is it going over there? Oh, Trevor, yeah, it's going really well. Thanks so much for sending me here, by the way. Great assignment, not racist at all. Anyway, anyway the West President was just here and she just rocked up to the border with a giant subonoculars and then stared at North Korea like a geopolitical pervert and honestly Trevor I don't get it why is she here
Starting point is 00:09:39 why am I here why is anybody here what you guys even looking for you think you're gonna see something that all the generals and the satellites missed it's like oh look look look the the 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 tho, tho, tho- tho- that that, the- the- the- the the th the the th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. the thi the thi that, the the the the the the thea thea thea thea theauuuuu thea thea thea theee the for?

Ha. Oh, maybe that guy's not all that bad after all.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Hey, hey, Kim and y'all follow me back on IG, man. Anyway, the Vice President was here to strengthen America's alliance with South Korea, against North Korea. And let's just see how that went. An embarrassing gaff by Vice President Harris today when she affirmed America's alliance with the wrong Korea. So the United States shares a very important relationship which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. And it is an alliance that is strong and enduring. Wow, wow.
Starting point is 00:10:46 You think North Korea is South Korea? So I guess all Asian countries look the same to you, huh? Madam Vice President? What's next? You're gonna mix me up with Simulil? Huh? Seriously, can you? Could you do that, please? Because I would totally be fine with that? No, no, no, no, I'm just joking. We're just joking.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Everyone, we're just joking. Okay, Madam Vice President, nobody give her a hard time about this, or we won't see her again for another six months. All right, back hey Kim, hey Kim, uh, yo, uh, hey, uh, why don't you check out my comedy special on Netflix? Y'all use Trevor's password.

Thankto Roywood Jr. yesterday when we finished the show, and he reminded me that it has been seven years since we started the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Yeah, this week it is our anniversary. And... week of that anniversary. And one of the overriding feelings I found myself experiencing throughout the night and even today waking up was a feeling of gratitude.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You know, Ronnie, like the journey we've been on together has been wild, you know, Roy, you know all the correspondence, everyone's, there's so many people who make this thing come together. And I want to say thank you to the audience for an amazing seven years. It's been wild. It's been to continue o'clock. You know? I, uh, I, uh,
Starting point is 00:12:35 I, uh, I remember when, I remember when, you remember this, Ronnie, it was, you know, so many people didn't believe in us, it was a crazy bet to make, I mean, I still think it was a crazy choice, you know, it was just random African and it's bringing a Chinese guy from Malaysia and Chinese guys with accents on American TV. Yeah, man. And what a journey it's been. Every single one of you who comes here to support us every single day,
Starting point is 00:13:11 everybody who's watched the show, and then it's grown all around the world. And, you know, I recently went to India for the first time, and there are people there who have supported everything that we've done. I just found myself filled with gratitude for the journey. It's been absolutely amazing. It's something that I never expected. And I found myself thinking throughout the time. You know, everything we've gone through, the Trump presidency, the pandemic,
Starting point is 00:13:37 just the journey of, you know, the more pandemic. And I realized that after the seven years, my time is up. I, yeah, but in the most beautiful way, honestly, I've loved hosting this show. It's been one of my greatest challenges. It's been one of my greatest joys. I've loved trying to figure out how to make people laugh even when the stories are particularly shitty on the worst days. You know, we've laughed together, we've cried together. But after seven years, I feel like it's time, you know. I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. Standup was done. And when I got back out there again, I realized there's another part there's there there there there there there there there there there there there there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's their their the apartment, not on the road. You know, stand-up was done.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And when I got back out there again, I realized there's another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring. You know, I miss learning other languages. I miss going to other countries and putting on shows. I miss just being everywhere, doing everything. And I'm really grateful to every single person who's here, even the people who aren't here right now because they went on to do great things who helped us do this thing. You know it's a it's a weird thing to say
Starting point is 00:14:52 never been good at at good buys and it's not instant I'm not disappearing don't worry if I owe you money I'll still pay you. And I'm really grateful, you know, to a network who believed in, it's this random comedian, nobody knew on this side of the world. You know, South Africans knew and loved me. Yeah. You know, and Paramount has been amazing. theyme, theyce, you know, even the previous team, Kent and Sarah and Michelle and Doug.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And I've been lucky enough to be doing multiple projects with them and I've been inspired by new ways to express myself, you know, whether it be hosting a White House Correspondence Dinner or doing different stand-up shows around the world, whatever it may be. The point is, I want to say thank you to you and to you who watch this and to you who come and sometimes you do both. Because man I never I never dreamed that I would be here. I sort of felt like Charlie on the chocolate factory. I came in for a tour of what the previous show was and then the next thing I
Starting point is 00:16:00 know I was handed the keys but I couldn't have done it without you and I wouldn't have wanted to do it without you. And so we'll figure out the timings and the wins, you know, we'll still be here for the time being. But all I can say is, thank you very much. You've truly made this. And the best opportunities of my life. One of the most frustrating things about the internet for me is that I don't know if it's creative people who do this or it's it's encouraged them but it makes it
Starting point is 00:17:11 feel like people are less inclined to listen and more inclined to want to to immediately like dunk on a person or an idea or do you know what I mean? But they don't engage anymore people don't engage people just want to be a ha what about what about the reason I the reason I talk about that is because of the story in Iran that's happening right now I am sure you you all know it but if you don't what's happening in Iran is many people are going into the streets predominantly women protesting protesting in the streets against the government of Iran and against what 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 they they they they they they they they they they they they th. th. they they they they they they th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their th. their thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to theeei the thei thi thi thi thi thi ththe government of Iran and against what they call the morality police that has been getting stricter and stricter every single regime in
Starting point is 00:17:50 Iran where they force women to wear the hijab and then like how they wear it is also important. It's just like basically just a bunch of random dudes policing women. You're not moral enough. And it's oftentimes, there's no rhyme, there's no reason they just harass women. And so now, after a woman named Masso Amini was taken into custody by the Iranian Morality Police, she died, right? She was 22 years old, and she died. And so women in Iran have just poured out into the streets and they just said, we're not taking this shit anymore, we're fighting for our riots. It's one of the biggest movements people I've have ever the But what's so disappointing is seeing, and I guess it's the internet, but you see people
Starting point is 00:18:33 who now use this as an opportunity to dunk on a religion that they hate, you know, so they're like, oh, so now we're saying the hijab is bad and, oh yeah, you see Islam, I thought, and it's like, no, no, if you understood what was happening, if you took the time to read beyond a tweet or a headline, what you'd understand is those women in Iran are not saying we're against people practicing their religion. What they're saying is we are against the government forcing everybody to practice one religion and practice it in one way. That's what they're saying. There's a big difference between the two. Like I've always believed that. Like have whatever religion you
Starting point is 00:19:17 want, worship however you want. As long as it doesn't hurt somebody else, yeah that's that's your religion, that's fine, you know? But once it becomes a government saying you have to and you shouldn't and this is how you have to do it and you know what I mean, becomes this big thing where they're like oppressing people as well because it's not even, there's even stories where they'll say like, oh the hijab wasn't on tight enough, the scoff wasn't ti. the the scoff wasn't thsoff isn't thsoff isn't thigh is thigh is thigh. thigh. It's thigh. It's thigh. It's thigh is like, it's thigh. thigh. It's like, you thigh. thigh. It's like, you're thigh. It's like, and thigh. It's like, and thi, and thigh. It's like, and thigh. And this is like, and this is like, and this is this is how this is how thigh. And this is thigh. And thigh. And thigh. And thigh. And thi, and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, you thin, you thin, you thin, you thin, you thin, you thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, you're thin, and thin, and th. And th, more importantly? You get the people on the internet, like, yeah, we're against, in fact, burn them everywhere. I see what you're doing. You are being an asshole. That's what you're doing. That's what they should have on social media as well. That's what they should also verify assholes.
Starting point is 00:19:55 You know? Yeah, just like, oh, verified asshole. Okay. That's what they should have on social media as well. They should also verify assholes. Yeah, just like, oh, verified asshole. Okay, now I know what I'm dealing with. Then I would even click, I'd be like, but what are the assholes saying? Oh, oh, that the day show. My guest is a legendary supermodel philanthropist and entrepreneur. She's here to talk about her new docu series that explores black models' impact on the fashion industry and American culture.
Starting point is 00:20:39 The first two episodes of Supreme Models are available right now on YouTube with new episodes to follow. Please welcome, Imman. Please welcome, Imman! The icon, the legend, the face known all over the world. I'm welcome to the Daily Show. Okay, so I was listening to you because I'm a huge fan of the show and I love that bet about your grandmother thing. You're famous. Thank you very much. And I'm just like an African grandmother, yeah?
Starting point is 00:21:22 They're all the same. They're all the same. They think our name now is famous. Just like an African grandmother, yeah? They're all the same. They're all the same. They're all the same. They think our name now is famous. Well, I feel like your name could be famous because you are synonymous with the fashion industry. You're synonymous beyond the fashion industry. And when I heard you were making a docuseries about the impact that black models have made on not just the fashion industry but America as a whole. I was really intrigued and I was surprised and shocked because many people would say, okay, we understand maybe how black people have influenced fashion, but black models in the world
Starting point is 00:21:52 of civil rights, how did you even begin to know about the story and want to tell it? Well, YouTube and the directors contacted me during COVID and they said that they wanted to do this do doc series and about black beauty and black, specifically, the history, the history, the history, the history, the history, the history, the history, the history, the history, the history, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, thi, maybe, thi, maybe, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thea, thea, thi, tha, thea, thiiii, thi, tha, thi, tha, tha wanted to do this docket series and about black beauty and black, specifically the history of black models. Right. And I said to them, what will you bring to the table that it's new? And they said, there is no documentary on black beauty or black models ever. What? This is the first. Wow. So automatically, of course said yeah I'm on board but what I really wanted to make sure is that I wanted to to to highlight not the just the trial and tribulations of black models in this industry but the joy and
Starting point is 00:22:35 the celebration. I love that. I love that. I love that. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. Because I feel like that is that is the journey. You know it's trials tribuulations tribuulations that. Yeah. Because I feel like that is the journey, you know, it's trials tribulations but the joy as well which is oftentimes overlooked in the msories. Exactly, exactly. You know, the, and also the, as culture, I mean the, the, the cry the juror in the 60s was black is beautiful. Yes. that the tribe of black beauties. I love that.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I love that. You're now showcasing a generation from the current models all the way through to many of the pioneers. Right. Right. But when you look at the industry through the lens that only you can, do you think it's changed enough? Have you seen change that you're proud of and how far do you still want it to go?
Starting point is 00:23:27 What's been happening in the industry is like when I started in 1976, a lot of designers were using black models. But then it happened like in 2013, there was this article in the New York Times that said the blonde leading the blonde and the black out of the black model. For six years, in 2013, for six years, none of the designers have used any black models. Wow. So I was shocked by it. By then I retired from modeling, I was doing Eman Cosmetics, but when I saw that article, Naomi Campbell and I and Beth Ann Hardison, the three of us joined forces together and wrote to the designers of America and the European designers to talk about specifically about this issue.
Starting point is 00:24:12 What is happening? How come there was more black models in the 70s and 80s? In 2013, nobody was using them. What happened was that a lot of designers were having casting agents who do the casting agents now become the people with the power. Right, the gatekeepers, yeah. And they say, they said to the agents, we're not seeing black models this season as if they were a trend. Yeah. So, so we were, what we were trying to talk about was not calling them out or canceling them out.
