WATCH: Trevor Noah Reacts To Donald Trumps Election

The mood on “The Daily Show” last night during its live election night special was darker than it was droll. When host Trevor Noah went live around 11 p.m. EST, then-Republican candidate Donald Trump was leading in the polls and had just won North Carolina, a crucial swing state. Noah admitted he was “very much afraid” of what the outcome of the presidential election would be.

“This is it, the end of the presidential race, and it feels like the end of the world,” Noah said. “I don’t know if you’ve come to the right place for jokes tonight because this is the first time throughout this entire race where I’m officially sh-tting my pants.”

As surprising as the results might have been to some, Noah did have therapeutic jokes up his sleeve. “We are going to be making jokes tonight but I am very much afraid,” he said. “Donald Trump is doing much better than expected. He’s doing so much winning that I am tired of winning.”
