It\u2019s very highbrow, and I don\u2019t think there are enough international stories. So if you brought me on, the risk you\u2019re taking is I\u2019m going to talk about international stories and I\u2019m not going to try to make the show smarter than it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the old tweets that landed him in hot water<\/strong>: \u201cIn many ways, social media and comedy are time stamps of who we were\u2026and if you\u2019re not disgusted by what you did when you look back five, 10 years ago, then I\u2019d argue you haven\u2019t grown. But we live in a society where people are more concerned with the platitudes of apologies than they are with the actual change in human beings. I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s healthy for us to berate and destroy people for who they were versus who they are because \u2018are\u2019 is more important. And that\u2019s the problem I have with the \u2018cancel culture\u2019 a lot of the time \u2014 you condemn people to only being that forever. What\u2019s the value of atoning if it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re welcomed back into society?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the misconception that <em>The Daily Show <\/em>made him famous<\/strong>: \u201cPeople don\u2019t understand that I came to America from a country where I was really successful. And I\u2019m proud of South Africa because that\u2019s where I made my fortune. I had my homes and my cars and my nice things, and my country gave that to me. So I wasn\u2019t escaping anything.
