The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Season 2016 Episode 89 Jim Gaffigan

  • July 5, 2016

In episode 89 of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, comedian Jim Gaffigan stops by to chat with Trevor about his new book, "Food: A Love Story." The segment begins with Gaffigan poking fun at himself for being known as the "Hot Pockets guy" and how he's tried to move on from that image with his new book. Both comics discuss their mutual love of food, and Gaffigan offers up some hilarious commentary on everything from McDonald's to fancy restaurants.

The interview also touches on Gaffigan's stand-up career and how he's been able to balance being a comedian with being a father of five children. He even shares a funny anecdote about how his daughter once saw one of his comedy specials and was confused when he wasn't acting like his usual dad-self on stage. Gaffigan also opens up about his wife's battle with brain cancer and how it's affected his family.

In addition to the interview, the episode features some of Trevor's usual segments, including a rundown of the day's top news stories and a segment called "Fox News Anchor or Porn Star?" where Trevor challenges the audience to guess which category a particular name falls under. The show's correspondents also make appearances, including a hilarious field piece about the resurgence of vinyl records and how hipsters are driving up the market.

Overall, the episode is packed with laughs and fascinating discussions. Trevor and Jim's conversation about food is sure to make viewers hungry (or at least craving a Hot Pocket), and their candid discussion about family and tragedy is both touching and relatable. As always, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah offers up an entertaining and insightful look at the day's news and events.
