On the eighth episode of the 2016 season of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, the host welcomed rapper and actor Ice Cube as his guest. Noah began the show by addressing the numerous protests taking place across the country in response to President-elect Donald Trump's victory.

Noah then moved on to discuss the controversy surrounding Trump's appointment of Steve Bannon as his chief strategist, and highlighted the concerns many people have raised about Bannon's history of promoting white nationalism and racist ideologies.

After this, Noah welcomed Ice Cube onto the show. The rapper, who had recently released his 10th studio album, "Everythang's Corrupt," discussed everything from his music to politics. He talked about why he believes it's important for people to speak out against injustice and inequality, and shared his thoughts on the current state of hip-hop music.

Cube also talked about his involvement in the upcoming movie "Fist Fight," in which he stars alongside Charlie Day and Tracy Morgan. He discussed his experience working on the movie and shared some behind-the-scenes stories.

In addition to his conversations with Ice Cube, Noah also had correspondents Jordan Klepper and Desi Lydic report on their experiences at the Dakota Access Pipeline protests in North Dakota. They interviewed protesters and law enforcement officials, giving viewers an inside look at the ongoing situation.

As always, The Daily Show also featured several comedic segments throughout the episode. One of these segments, titled "The Late Show: Gangland Edition," poked fun at the idea of late-night shows mimicking the drama of gang movies. Another segment, "The Jurisprudence Squad," took a humorous look at the Supreme Court justices.

Overall, the eighth episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah offered a mix of serious discussions and lighthearted comedy. With its diverse range of topics and guests, the show continued to provide valuable commentary on current events in a way that only The Daily Show can.
