Dd you know this about Trevor Noah. Gin Hammond Explains….
What I could say about Trevor Noah is endless. First. I love his book, Born A Crime.
I can obviously relate to it except his is, even his situation is even way more intense than mine was. So I loved reading about that and how his mother Patricia’s love really sustained him and gave him such a huge perspective on life. A healthy perspective on life that has clearly served him well.
I first became aware of him with The Daily Show, and then when I started watching his standup, wow.
Of course, he’s incredibly funny. But he is one of the best dialect technicians I have ever come across. So my appreciation for that is huge. But the way that he does it shows you that he is really putting himself in within the skin of somebody else and seeing through their eyes. Some of the bigger, more satirical things like when he is imitating a British colonist or something like that sort of big stuff, if you remember that little bit.
And like George Takei, I think people are drawn to him because his true north is set to love. It’s like he couldn’t stop loving humans in all their messiness if he tried, and he’s seen it all. His job was to look at the ugliest parts of at least political humanity. And most of the time find the humor. If there was no humor to be found, he didn’t shy away from just putting it out there either.
There’s so few people it feels like we can trust anymore and he’s one of those people. If you found out he was doing something nefarious, you’d just be crushed for the year. It’d be like the end of Game of Thrones. You just I think they need to create a special meditation for this. There were some, by the way, on the app I was checking out. …if you’re favorite character in a TV show dies, they had a special meditation for that because we get attached, don’t we? Especially if we can see ourselves in a character.
But I ain’t studying him, but I do love how when he pops up on my radar, it seems like nowadays he’s he’s somehow making a living just hanging out with friends and being himself and being on people’s podcasts and just truth telling here and there with love, and that is an example. I am so grateful that we have in the world, yay Trevor Noah.
