# Michael Che: Kicking Trevor Out of VIP

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Trevor Noah.

What happens when Michael Che accidentally kicks Trevor Noah out of a New York VIP section?

The SNL star joins Trevor and Eugene to revisit their awkward encounter and swap stories about life in comedy, from its unwritten rules to the challenges of navigating fame and mental health.

Along the way, they explore the cultural differences between Africans and Black Americans, share stories about some of comedy's biggest legends, and somehow end up debating whether Japanese bidets might be one of humanity's greatest inventions.
