Yeah.
You just have to go on a touring jet.
But that's what sports is for me like that.
I enjoy that because I don't have to sit and yell about world issues.
There's a stress in that.
And I saw that through Trevor Noah, because Trevor, at least I had days off now and then as a correspondent, Trevor's in there every day hearing all the bad stuff and then choosing the stuff that we can make a show with.
That takes a toll.
So.
Who are you and why are you talking about our business?
Where's our dad that we've loved all these years before you?
And then meanwhile, behind the scenes, he's reading all of the most horrible shit on Earth every single day and then deciding what stuff to put on TV and then getting criticized for that.
Don't revisionist history, Trevor Noah.
There was a lot of hate on him in that first year.
A lot of unfair hate.
And then it became love over time and repetition and just him working and just doing what he does and people eventually coming around.
But out the gate, it's very hard.
And I don't think the next host of The Daily Show will necessarily have to deal with as much of that from the outside.
But internally, it's still a very difficult, mind-bending job to just sit and take all of that in.
And it is exhausting.
And at some point, it gets you coming home with a thousand-yard stare like our fathers did.
