‘You’ve never really had a real job’ – Anele and Sizwe to Trevor Noah
To reflect on the moment of turning 40, Trevor sat down with Anele and Sizwe to debate whether birthdays even matter, whether it’s possible to reinvent yourself, and whether Trevor’s age influenced him leaving The Daily Show.
One of the topics that had Netizens laughing out loud was the trio debating whether Trevor has ever really had a ‘real job’.
In a short video clip promoting the podcast, Trevor starts off saying that he left South Africa to go host The Daily Show, to which Anele responds asking if it was a big change. Trevor then answers that it’s a big change in that he now lives in America adding that nobody asked him at that time if it was a big change for him.
Sizwe then jumps into the conversation saying he thinks moving to America was a big change for Trevor because he has never had a 9 to 5 job, and never had to wake up at a certain time to get to a job.
Trevor naturally defended himself and started listing the jobs he had over the years to much snort laughing from Anele.
These are the jobs Trevor held before he became famous:
- Video game arcade. Trevor was the person who turned money into tokens.
- Reading electricity meters for his mom’s business.
- Taxi driver for a year, waking up at 4am every morning and then driving until 9pm.
Trevor feels these were real jobs, but Sizwe insists that his friend has never had a real job since he met him.
