Trevor Noah: Trump won't appear on 'The Daily Show' because he'd be 'tested'

Trevor Noah would love to interview Donald Trump on "The Daily Show," but he doesn't think the presumptive Republican nominee will be booking an appearance anytime soon.

"We'd have him on the show, I don't know what he would say," Noah told Bloomberg Politics' Masters in Politics podcast, adding, "I don't think he would ever come. I think Donald Trump purposefully stays away from places where he feels like he'll be tested so I don't think that would ever happen."

Still, like his predecessor, Jon Stewart, Noah regards Trump as the comedic gift that keeps on giving.

"A man who comes out in support of Saddam Hussein? Every single day, we sit in the office and we say, 'Donald Trump surely, surely cannot say anything crazier than this,' and every day he says something that shocks us. I don't know how he does it, he's a force of nature and you have to commend him for that."

While Noah said he's still "growing" into his role as "The Daily Show" host, he often reflects on parting advice Stewart gave him.

"He said, 'This is now your journey. I am tired and I am angry, you are not. You will grow to be tired, you will grow to be angry, but at least you can approach it with the vigor of youth,'" Noah said.
