? EARS TO THE GROUND-
Trevor Noah takes advantage of his star-studded rolodex for his podcast, What Now? The former Daily Show host brings on guests each episode for a candid chat all from different industries — sports, acting, business, etc.— and gets them to spill the beans using his talk-show charm.
You’ll feel like you’re sitting backstage in a green room getting the inside scoop from those in the spotlight. Noah’s schtick is to get his friends comfortable to trigger an honest conversation away from their public personas and because there’s a pre-established camaraderie, there’s a nice back-and-forth between him and his guests.
We like that he doesn’t just stick to Hollywood. The guests are diverse so it’s not all awards show BTS and such. Mark Cuban, who you might know from Shark Tank, comes on one episode that’s more business-oriented if that’s your thing, but you can also listen to Emmy-winner Quinta Brunson talk about her show Abbott Elementary and much more.
NOTE- Noah doesn’t get as political as he often did on The Daily Show, the show is more about chit-chatting with friends.
