Trevor Noah: Lessons from my parents 

His mom sounds awesome. We need more women who teach their sons about this stuff about women.

What Trevor said about the kids, that's what I'm thinking more often than not. I must say Trevor is one of the smartest and gentle comedian in the current time. Respect for Trevor.👊

That's just like Nigerian parents. They tell you not to have a boyfriend and stay away from boys. Then they ask where your husband is at 23. Lol!

The world doesn’t really need more people, it just needs more Trevor Noahs!

Ive always wondered about Trevors father. He talks about his mom quite a bit, but I had never hear him talk much about him.

Yep its true Swiss people want everything to be precise and efficient. Im swiss. Lol

I like this interviewer, she's good at opening up people's experience.

I love that he is concious about kids and it’s so true what he says … you don’t have to have kids to have purpose in your life ❤

Of all the people who should have children, Trevor Noah is on the top of the list! He's so smart, gentle, funny and humble - the world needs more Trevors. And imagine what an amazing dad he would be...😍

Trevor mother is very down to earth human being. She has brought her son with such care and wisdom. I completely empathise with her and with great respect. Blessings.

"But... there's so many people. Why make more?" This is me since I was 16... now 25 and still asking myself the very question.

I never had kid, never wanted them,, never regretted having them, my life lies in my dog!!! I m now 65 still feel the same

Trevor Noah you are amazing as a person and as a comedian. I share the very same ideas about children. I wish you all the best. Love from Portugal.

She is an awesome interviewer 👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤❤ they have wonderful chemistry together , God bless her ,she is a QUEEN

2:44 the subtle way Trevor goes “is that..” is SO endearing because she seemed to hesitate, as if she thought her question was weird.

THANK YOU!!! Every time someone asks me when I’m going to have kids the first thing I say is WHY? and I should probably be in a happy relationship first, lol... I really have no desire to have kids, but if I ever do I would much rather adopt and try to make a kids life better that didn’t get a good start.

I want meet his mom he speaks so much if her!! Trevor too.

both of his parent are awesome persons...

Trevor: "Build a house." I love Trevor for that.

Ok but why is she so sure he'll change his mind why should he? Not wanting kids is cool - Trevor doing well for himself yo this guy is awesome if he doesn't want kids he doesn't want kids let the guy live and be amazing. Don't tell him "you'll change your mind" let the man decide and be cool with his choices; his life not yours.

So true what he said about the quality time, and the kids. Lol.

The way Trevor looks at Anele. Genuine respect and love there. Coming back for the 3rd time. I loved this interview.

Talking about his mom x dad awesome! Love you TREVOR NOAH MY DUDE 💙🙏🏽💙🌹💙😍💙👑💙😊💙💯💙✝️💙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

For those getting upset at the interviewer for saying Trevor will change his mind, get over it. It's just an African thing. It's rare to find Africans who don't want children, so the lady's response is spot on. He may or may not have children and she will still tease him about it. It's not as deep as some of you make it to be.

Not everyone wants to be a parent.not eveyone wants children. People can aspire to different dreams. Why force yourself And have a lif and just make them and yourself miserable ? Like trevor said there are already too many people and there are kids waiting to be adopted

I hope Trevor changes his mind about having kids. He needs to pass those lessons he learned from his parents to his future children. He'd be giving the world a wonderful gift. The world need more people like him and his mom.

Admirable adorable brilliant that is Trevor, keep teaching Trevor!🕯⛱

Could I love this man any more? 😍

I am one of dying fan , the way he express .....

I hope he does have kids. I think he’ll be able to instill values most kids abroad do not get. He seems genuinely down down to earth. We need more celebrities like this.

He's content in himself. . . . .'Who are you by yourself?'.👌 . . . .He is who he is cos that's who he wants to be

Love the interviewers sass and pizzazz. She's incredible

Listening to these stories got me thinking deep.

I totally agree with the kids part. Kids are not for everyone, I’m in my 50s and am so glad I didn’t go down that path. If you want one, why make more? So many children NEED loving parents, adoption is admirable.

This interview made me fall in love with Trevor Noah. Please marry me! I’m single!

"I don't want those 'things' ". Meow Trevor.

Respect n love from bangalore.God bless u bro.

I love this man. He's smart, gentle, and now that he said that maybe he doesn't want to have children, I love him even more. Not everyone wants to have kids and as a woman, I don't need a child to feel fulfilled.

Trevor really said "Anithi" 😂😂

THANK YOU TREVOR! For speaking about the why-no-kids issues!

"Who are you by yourself' I dig it

He have points. I love him.

I ❤️ Trevor

Beautiful man !intelligent ,very conscious of human nature and world affairs , an excellent example of a young man in our future👍👍😊❤️

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bravo!! Exacto! Stare in the eyes 👀

WOW TREVOR ! JUST AMAZING 🙏😢😊💙. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOUR INTERVIEWS NOT ONLY DO YOU MAKE ME LAUGH.... BY THE TIME THE VIDEO ENDS ... I ALSO FEEL LIKE LATER ON THAT DAY I'LL REMEMBER SOMETHING FROM THE INTERVIEW. IT'S LIKE I TAKE SOMETHING WITH ME OUT OF YOUR VIDEOS. I LEARN SOMETHING. AND I APPLY IT TO MY OWN LIFE TO BE A BETTER PERSON . JUST LIKE YOU SAID WHEN YOU SIT AND GET TO KNOW YOUR FRIENDS WE ALL LEARN SOMETHING FROM ONE ANOTHER MAYBE LEARN SOMETHING THAT WE ALSO CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIVES TO HELP US BECOME BETTER PEOPLE. I LOVE ONE ANOTHER BETTER. TO RESPECT ONE ANOTHER BETTER. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING MY MIND ENTERTAINED AND EDUCATED 🙏💙

Your ideology on children is AWESOME. Another reason I love love you Trevor...

mind-blowing

5:45 🥺💔I am crying

African mom are strong women's cheers for them one of them raised me proud strong enough

I have been watching this interview for years until today...... Trevor you are the smartest and gentle comedian in the current world. Actually, Is been a long trip for me with my project working on my book regarding only this conversation cause those things are poorly educated children so I saw is better I combine does all make just a small book for parents out where.

Oh Trevor...! "Those things" depend on their parents education! With all my heart, I don't believe you will really have one "of those". You'll know how to do it. To raise a human being. 💖 Lots of love.

great person came from great parent.

His South African accent is really noticable here

Very good insight on getting to know an arranged relationship with a person particularly a parent

Spending time with purpose. Indeed.

True Trevor there are so many people, even l want to help those that where not fortunate enough to see their parents

Exactly!! I'm not in a rush bruh, just chill and enjoy life

Trevor you are my role model 😎😎😎

I listened his book. Everyone should read or listen it.

'build a house' lmao

Yes, vindication. This is exactly what I feel about having children.

Trevor is Awesome!!

Aiii this Treavor guy ;) whatever he says just makes sense because it´s so well thought through. well whether you adopt or have your own kid, you´ll sure than not be a great and funny dad! :)

I am a kindergarten teacher (or rather: crèche) and I tutor two primary school kids and I totally love it, but I still don’t want children of my own, which everyone seems to think is a paradox. The world we live in is horrible on too many levels to want to enforce it onto another person. Also, kids are no pets that you get, because they are cute. I mean, they are cute (among other things), but I really don’t want to force anyone to live in this world. I rather spend my time making the lives of kids better, that are already in this world, than adding to overpopulation which is not so slowly killing our living conditions (though not the planet, I believe). Furthermore, I have read just too much about births and the after-effects for women ... no, thank you, I‘d rather continue living! When people tell me I‘ll be lonely in old age, I tell them that my parents are lonely and they have kids. Kids do not exist to fulfill their parents wishes. They are no pets. In short: I love kids. And that is exactly why I don’t want any!

Could not find his book anywhere in West Asia. Anywhere I can get before paying an extra 30$ for shipping from America?

Awwww... my crush on him grows! 😍

I also dont understand why people have to make children.. We all have choices and not others. The choice to raise them is a commitment for life. I appreciate those who can dedicate and be responsible for children with all their ❤

The thing that I Love the most about Trevor is his Beautiful mindset ... and basically everything he is as a person... GOD! I Love This Man 😍 💗

Anele sweetmama i reallly think you rushed him your questions are great but you didn't give him enough time to explore in what he wanted to say

Am going to read his book.

Love me some Trevor Noah

Blessed is Trevor Noah! Children are a blessing from God! I see his beautiful family, beautiful children, I see three at least.

Good interviewer

Accurate.

Trevor Noah, you're so smart...there are too many people in the world!

What he said about his mum is true, that is a word from an African parent the pregnancy part

It was kinda nice to see hesitancy about having children from a man, and also to see him subjected to the same unnecessary and inappropriate, "You'll change your mind." Some of us just KNOW. Love the rest of the interview though

This is exactly what my parents told me then they now ask where the grandkids are. This is so typical of our African parents. 😁

We should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER ask anyone about when they are having children, especially in public. 1 out of 5 couples has hard time having children. They are already under so much stress and pressure. Leave them alone. It's none of our business. Some people are not having children by choice, but we do not know that.

Good answer Trevor, u will hv a child when u want. I luv that

I would love to know his IQ. Trevor seems to be a really good person and very very smart.

i'm on the same page about kids trevor👌

This is top. I wonder if Trevor feels this same way now in November 2021. Hecka funny. "Those things(children) I don't want".🤣

"You'll change your mind" I heard that one before

This woman is so jiggly😇 I like it

i really believe people should stop having that retort to someone saying they do not want to have kids. . "you'll change your mind." it's such an arrogant thing to say. Do not presume to know how someone would feel based on your own feelings about that issue. We are all different and we do not all feel the same things and experience the same in life. When i tell people i do not think I am going to want kids they tell me i'm going to regret not having kids. and i honestly say to myself....ahh you are right, so with that logic lets just bring a kid into this world even though I am not ready, or financially stable, and oh wait i don't want the child. That's smart. I really feel that I would much rather regret not having a child than regret having one and not taking care of them the way a parent should.

Trevor Noah --- marry me LOL! his so intelligent ~~~ lets have many dogs instead

My parents (I’m Mexican) are like Trevors mom, first they told me that if I had a child without been finished my career they wouldn’t help me with it; now my dad says I don’t care if you get married, give me my grandchild now!

With him living in New York, I can understand why he thinks there are so many people. But there are millions upon millions of unoccupied acres right here in the United States alone. There is plenty of room for sooooooooooo many more!!!

"When are you having kids?" "You have to want a little bit of that (having a kid of your own)" "You'll change your mind" Please don't be like her. Some people just don't want kids, and their minds won't change, and they might have other things they want more, or are just ok with not having kids. Don't ask people "when are you having kids?", it's not polite, it's not ok, it's a personal private question that definitely doesn't need airing on a tv show.

I agree with him!! There's no space! why would you fill the world with more people where there is no space?

Stapled condoms 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean, we're not on the brink of extinction due to less population, are we? We need more sensible people who see that there is really no space

Why is he so handsome, every time I watch him .I dont see the other person .I know my fellows get me

already with someone new, and i do believe its becasue of me, cause no one believed in me. so we needed to turn the tables, and i needed to grind way too fast, without any knwoledge about everything.

Yes! U r rite Trevor!!!!! About us & de money

Paula 6 may 2018 ,

That’s so cute! What a smart man. That’s right, think really about it. Why? Just because someone else expects you to have kids? Is your life and if you don’t want to have kids, you can adopt, or just be the cool uncle/aunt, or just make a difference in a child’s life by volunteering, or just do like Trevor making a difference in the lives of many children with his foundation. Is your life!!!! Is your path!!! I tell my children that always, but my husband expect grandchildren. Lol. I’m cool regardless as long is their wish.

When ur wife have a baby u will say ,l can't believe this baby came out of u.Praises The Lord! That love.😙😄
