American host Trevor Noah (Trevor Noah) has garnered a wave of fans in China for his objective, sharp spit, but he was "thoroughly exposed" in the latest episode.
In the "Daily Show" released on December 5, Cui Wa shared weekly news for the audience as usual, and when talking about the recent news of the chang'e 5 "benyue" that attracted global attention, he began to "carry smuggled goods", yin and yang weirdly smeared China for "concealing the epidemic", saying that "this will bring new coronavirus to aliens".
After watching the video, some Chinese netizens commented: "This 'sour taste' has crossed the Pacific Ocean." ”

In the relevant clip, the "Daily Show" first played a news video about China's Chang'e 5 running to the moon and drilling the lunar soil. At this time, Triva joked that humans had not collected lunar rocks in 44 years. During this time, the stones on the moon may have "gone to college, got married and had children."
He added: "Anyway, it's good to get these moon rocks." ”
But the conversation turned sharply: "But you have to admit that China is doing this now [moon landing] is quite flashy, especially when everyone finds themselves lying about the extent of the outbreak in Wuhan and the number of [cases]." ”
Cui Wa also "self-directed" a dialogue: "Oh, I'm sorry China, when the new crown epidemic began, did you lie and try to hide anything?" ”
"Oh, I'd love to answer your question, but I'll have to go to the moon and get some stones." After he said this, he fell down exaggeratedly.
He continued absurdly: "The point I want to make is that now may not be the best time for humans to go to the moon. I mean, I can't even travel to Vermont when there's a quarantine requirement. Maybe we shouldn't send people to heaven and touch things in space. ”
Then came a little theater: "I don't want aliens to come to Earth and say to us, 'What the heck, friends, you brought us COVID-19!'" At this time, his head was also playfully changed to an alien image.
Triwa jokingly changes her avatar to "Alien"
"Sorry aliens, we didn't mean it! If you're willing to wear a mask, it might be useful. Triva replied with a self-talk.
"Aliens," Triva added, "Don't take away our freedom." ”
At this point, the farce finally came to an end.
Chang'e's "running to the moon" was originally another major feat of human progress towards the universe, but in Cui Wa's mouth, it became an excuse to smear China's fight against the epidemic. Such a ridiculous statement has also attracted the criticism of many domestic netizens. Some Chinese netizens pointed out: "(The untranslated version) understands 80%, but the sour taste has crossed the Pacific Ocean." ”
Others said: "I have found that he only stands up for his fellow blacks when they are discriminated against and unjustly, and I certainly support it." Then turn to Chinese full of superiority, very disrespectful, really divided. ”
Some netizens who once liked him expressed disappointment and wanted to "block".
In the comments, someone mentioned cuiwa's previous evaluation of the pool party in Wuhan: "... As speechless as mocking Wuhan's pool party. ”
The netizens' "mocking the Wuhan party" came from an issue of the "Daily Show" on August 30 this year. At that time, many Western media noted that as the location of the first outbreak of the epidemic, a water park in Wuhan held a pool party. Triva also commented on the show.
On the one hand, he admitted that wuhan has not had any new cases for several months, so "there is no problem to enjoy your party", but on the other hand, he also claimed: "The rest of the world is the new crown virus, Wuhan is the starting point of the new crown epidemic, if your house is on fire, then the whole town burns, you build the house first, there is no problem, I will not hate you for this, but you don't have to party at home, we are still sleeping on the lawn at this time!" ”
Of course, Triva's remarks have also attracted a lot of criticism. One of the most liked comments on the show's YouTube platform said: "If you can endure a complete, authoritarian quarantine for 3 months in a locked city, you deserve to enjoy a normal, COVID-19-free life..."
Another comment said: "I love this channel, but the United States has been having parties and rallies throughout the pandemic." So let the people of Wuhan have a party. ”
In the past, Cui Wa has sharply "spit" and told the truth in many programs involving Chinese news, gaining a group of Chinese fans and being reported by CCTV. For example, in June last year, he "complained" about the United States' administrative measures against Huawei: "When the United States developed its own 5G, China's 5G technology was far ahead, which reminded people of the competition between LD and DVD... It's like you change lanes while driving and overtake, and then someone else comes in front of you and you say, 'Hey, dude! That's my Word! ’”
After the talk show was reported by CCTV, Trevor, alias "Triva", also shouted excitedly in the new episode: "Baby, China has reported me!" ”
On January 29 this year, Cui Wa also mentioned in his "Daily Show" program the news that China had successfully built two hospitals in Vulcan Mountain and Leishen Mountain within ten days. While marveling at the 10-day construction of a hospital in China, he also complained that the United States "didn't install cable TV so fast."
When Wuhan was "unsealed" in March this year, Cui Wa quipped in the "Daily Show" that soon the United States will be called the "American virus" because "there is no longer [virus] in Wuhan."
Triva is a South African comedian, writer, producer, political commentator and television presenter. In 2015, he took over the late-night American political spit show "The Daily Show" launched in 1996, which is now also known as the "Triwa Daily Show". He has been on the show against the Trump administration, and he is widely seen as a supporter of the Democratic Party.
