Joe Opio

Trevor changed my life, essentially, right?

He did change my life, you know, coming to the Daily Show.

And I remember, and he has done things for me.

He's taken me to Barcelona a bunch of times, gotten me to meet, like, my biggest footballing heroes, taken me to two World Cups.

And I remember Trevor sent me a text message.

I don't know if you remember.

Actually, I remember when he first gave me the job.

The first time I realized he was a nice guy, really, when Trevor hired me, you remember the text you sent me?

No.

He sent me a text that said, hey, Joe, it might not work out, right?

You know, you could come, go crazy or whatever.

You know, you're in showbiz for the first time, you're Ugandan.

You could, you know, I don't know how you, there's never been a Ugandan in showbiz.

It's not your natural habitat.

I don't know how you would respond.

And basically went like, yo, if it doesn't work out, promise me we'll always be friends.

Because we were friends before the daily show.

We shouldn't be friends if it doesn't work out.

And then I read that text message and I'm like, wow.

Because, you know, in Africa, when someone does you a favor.
