Here he is in 2009 (I think): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcyuIKzpYJQ

eta: I just found this NYT piece on him as well: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/03/ar...=1419773522000

Watched the last of those videos, and a couple of others that showed up. He's pretty damn funny, and the take of a South African on a show about US politics should be interesting.

Plus, he speaks so well.

eta: given your last post, and the fact that you're reading my posts as being adversarial and confrontational when I really don't intend them to be, I considered editing to delete that last joke, because I think you will see it as intentionally offensive and not as a joke that riffs off of one of Noah's videos. But, I decided not to be such a pussy. If you're offended and decide I'm being a racist, I'm sorry but I'll add it to the list of posts on this subject that you are taking as an attack when they are not.
