Driving Trevor Noah to a radio show in his hometown of Johannesburg became a team effort as members of the public stepped in to help.
The South African comedian, who’s been based in the US for many years, was late for his interview on station 947, blaming bad traffic and his driver who he says “didn’t know where he was going”.
So, Noah decided enough was enough:
“I jumped out [the car].
“While I’m running people are in the street listening to [the radio] show, hooting and shouting ‘Trevor [it’s] the other way! You’re going the wrong way, Trevor!’
“They’re all pointing…
“Then one guy decides to stop the car, and says, ‘Trevor get in’. Then he took me to the wrong building!”
He eventually made his way to the studio in a different car, after witnessing an altercation between a taxi driver and a cyclist.
Noah of course saw the comedy value in it all, telling listeners through the mic:
“Can I just say, whoever is in this traffic, I feel you. We are together!” (BBC)
