NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- New Daily Show correspondent Trevor Noah just arrived from South Africa, and he talked race relations with Jon Stewart for his first show on Thursday.
"I never thought I'd be more afraid of police in America than in South Africa," Noah said. "It kind of makes me a little nostalgic for the old days back home."
In a bit called "Spot the Africa," Noah showed two photos, one inspiring and another of extreme poverty. Stewart initially pegged the poverty pictures as Africa and the inspiring ones as the U.S., and he was wrong. Noah did show one image of poverty in Johannesburg, however.
The two also discussed how the wealth gap between white and black Americans in the U.S. is worse than the gap in South Africa, where they had state-enforced apartheid until 1994.
Noah also joked that South Africa has had no cases of Ebola and the U.S. has had a few. "Don't go to the U.S.," his friends warned before he left. "You will catch Ebola."
