To play its part during this age of the Corona virus pandemic, Trevor Noah’s The Daily Show will no longer be recording the show in front of a live audience from Monday.
For the South African comedian and TV host, the announcement was of course an opportunity for more jokes on the show this week… where he sang a final tribute to his last live studio audience, teasing them for cell phones ringing, crazy laughs, late laughs… or no laughs!
He ended the song with: “It’s time for quarantine, you all. I can’t wait until this is over, and the virus is beat… and all your asses are back in those seats. I love you guys…”

Trevor already caused controversy with his question – in reference to Coronavirus: “Is this how we all die?” Afterwards he explained that “where I’m from we laugh at everything”. (See South African jokes about Corona virus which prove he’s right!)
In South Africa, the COVID-19 virus has been positively confirmed in 24 patients to date.
