In episode 31 of the 2018 season of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Lupita Nyong'o joins the show to discuss her latest movie, Black Panther, and her activism work for women's rights. Trevor and Lupita share their appreciation for the representation in Black Panther and discuss the importance of having diverse perspectives in media.

During the show, there are segments that poke fun at current events such as President Trump's handling of the U.S. government shutdown and the controversy surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. Trevor also presents a satirical news segment about Amazon's recent move to open a new headquarters.

However, the main event of the show revolves around Lupita Nyong'o's interview with Trevor Noah. The two discuss her character in Black Panther, Nakia, and how important it is to see strong women characters on the big screen. Lupita tells Trevor how proud she is to be part of a movie that has sparked meaningful conversations about representation and identity.

Aside from her work in acting, Lupita discusses her role as an ambassador for women's rights. She talks about her experience visiting women's shelters in Kenya and her efforts to help young women pursue education and career opportunities. Trevor and Lupita stress the importance of shining a light on issues affecting women around the world and avoiding the normalization of misogyny and sexism.

As the interview wraps up, Trevor and Lupita joke around and say their goodbyes. But before the show closes, Trevor takes a moment to thank Lupita for using her platform to speak up for those who are often overlooked and marginalized. The episode ends with a light-hearted segment in which Trevor suggests (jokingly) that Hollywood should consider adding a Nigerian prince character to all of their movies.

Overall, the episode is balanced between humor and meaningful discussion. The interview with Lupita Nyong'o highlights the significance of representation and the importance of using one's influence to make a positive impact in the world. Fans of both The Daily Show and Lupita Nyong'o will enjoy this episode.
