  • February 9, 2016

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah season 2016 episode 22, titled "The Suffers," features comedian Trevor Noah discussing the day's headlines and political news in his own unique style. The show opens with a comedic montage highlighting some of the day's most notable events, including a clip of then-candidate Donald Trump telling supporters that he loves Hispanics while eating a taco bowl.

Noah then launches into a monologue about Trump's recent comments regarding Muslim immigrants, joking that "if Donald Trump is so worried about Muslims, maybe he should move to an uninhabited island with no Muslims." He also takes aim at the recent controversy surrounding the Confederate flag, quipping that "if you want to fly the Confederate flag, at least be honest about why you're doing it: you want to celebrate your love of racism and a time when women couldn't vote."

After the opening monologue, Noah brings on his guest for the evening, the frontwoman of the Houston-based band The Suffers, Kam Franklin. Franklin discusses the origins of the band and their unique blend of musical styles, which includes everything from soul and funk to rock and reggae. Noah is clearly a fan of the band's sound, exclaiming that "there's nothing like a good horn section to make you feel like you're living your best life."

The conversation soon turns to politics, with Franklin sharing her thoughts on the state of race relations in America and the role that music can play in bringing people together. She also discusses the importance of using her platform to speak out on issues she cares about, saying that "if you have a microphone, you should use it for something greater than just entertaining people."

Noah and Franklin wrap up their conversation with a performance by The Suffers, showcasing their soulful sound and Franklin's powerful vocals. The crowd cheers and sways along to the music, with Noah nodding along approvingly from his seat.

The remainder of the episode features segments on other news items of the day, including a satirical "Trump vs. Trump" video highlighting the candidate's flip-flopping on various issues, a segment on the rising cost of healthcare, and a comedic sketch about the Tour de France. Throughout it all, Noah keeps the audience entertained and engaged with his sharp wit and irreverent humor.

Overall, "The Suffers" is a classic episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, featuring a mix of political commentary and entertaining guest interviews.
