Trevor Noah Chats With His Gogo On Why She Does Not Watch His Show

Trevor Noah was in the country for the Global Citizen Festival, and thus made a stop at his grandmother’s house.

He went with his camera crew, and interviewed her on what it was like for her as a child and the struggles they faced during Apartheid.

“Flying squads. Each and every street had a flying squad,” she explained, referring to the heavy police presence in the townships back then.

She went on to admit how tearful she would get every time Trevor went outside to play.

“When you were with me here. Oh, Trevor you gave me a tough time. Because you wanted to play in the street and I knew the flying squad was going to take you.”

Comparing him to his mother Patricia Nomalizo, she said: “You would never tell Patricia what to do. She did what she wanted to do and she was good at her work.”

Trevor then asked her if she tunes in to his The Daily Show. She answered with a clear no. She blamed it on constant loadshedding.
