00:00And so what we've decided is to try and make The Daily Show from homes, not just my home,

00:05but everyone's home, so the producers, the writers.

00:08Trevor Noah is temporarily turning Comedy Central's The Daily Show into the daily

00:12social distancing show amid the coronavirus quarantine. Following the example of other

00:17late night shows, like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that have produced segments

00:20remotely during the pandemic, The Daily Show's YouTube channel posted a video on Wednesday

00:24introducing the new series filmed at Noah's home, complete with a special intro.

00:28From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world,

00:33this is The Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah.

00:37Noah said this of the impetus behind the temporary web-only show.

00:40I know a lot of people have said, hey, we still want to watch The Daily Show, we still want to be informed,

00:44we still want to catch up on the news without having to watch 24 hours of CNN, and I don't blame you for that.

00:49The video tried to follow the usual Daily Show format by running through the day's headlines,

00:53including President Donald Trump's Wednesday coronavirus press conference,

00:57where he was challenged on the racist implications of his rhetoric around the naming of the virus.

01:02You know Trump is the only person who could hold a press conference about a pandemic

01:05and then turn it into a fight about racism? Who does that?

01:09Also on the show, Noah recommended ways people can help those most affected by the coronavirus pandemic,

01:14like doctors, including staying away from emergency rooms unless you're exhibiting serious symptoms.

01:19There was also a video chat between Noah and Roy Wood Jr. comparing their self-quarantine experiences.
