0:00.0	From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.
0:14.6	It's The Treatment.
0:15.3	I'm Elvis Mitchell, and my guest, Trevor Noah, has been hosting the Daily Show with,
0:19.7	let me check my note, Trevor Noah,
0:21.3	since 2015. I would thought he won an Emmy for now because I thought to win the Emmy for
0:26.2	Outstanding Talk Show. All you do is have an accent, but he's here to prove me wrong. He's

1:19.7	So I can imagine what it was like for you as somebody who knew my stand-up before the show. Nope, I just love that because you really got tickled by watching audience reaction and playing into that and sort of like making any room you were in feel like a room about conversation.
1:33.6	And so the beginning of the show, you don't fidget anymore.
1:37.3	You know what I think it is probably? It's also the pandemic that helped.
1:40.7	So I was so used to performing on stage, you know, for so long that, you know,
