What Now? with Trevor Noah
Meet Joe Opio - My Favorite People

So I said, now remember I used to do a show like L&N in Uganda.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Meet Joe Opio - My Favorite People

Like a very pale, like a starved imitation of the daily show.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Meet Joe Opio - My Favorite People

Why did you have to say starved?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Meet Joe Opio - My Favorite People

Because it wasn't getting grains from up there.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Meet Joe Opio - My Favorite People

So I turn up, and then I'm seated there, and then Kahiso comes.
