Trevor Noah talks African roots with Zohran Mamdani – Daily Dispatch

Four men sit around a round podcast table with microphones. Inset shows two additional men talking in a different setting, labeled "David Kibuuka" and "Ryan Harduth," discussing topics like Trevor Noah and African roots.

Trevor Noah hosted an extended episode of his What Now? podcast with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani this week, touching on politics, migration and the realities of governing one of the world’s most complex cities — while also bringing in Mamdani’s childhood in Cape Town, his love for South African music and their shared African roots.

Tuesday’s (December 16th) roundtable chat also included Pretoria-born comedian and actor Eugene Khoza, as well as Ugandan-born South African comedian David Kibuuka and producer Ryan Harduth.
