The way Trevor is understanding about different women struggles make you want to salute his mom

"I want to speak about it because I think there are millions of women like me who never reported. And it's not because it wasn't so bad. It's because it was so bad ."

I like the way she speaks, it's almost like shes got a lazy tongue. Like the drunk talk style😂❤
@matthewbittenbender9191 5 years ago

That woman is the total package. Smart, talented, poised, focused, passionate and compassionate. Even if she wasn’t drop dead gorgeous she’s absolutely beautiful from the inside.

So she is mentioning "daal chawal" when she said "lentils and rice". It's staple food of India. 😁

I love how Trevor holds her hand and puts his other palm on top of hers to give her comfort and shows a sign of respect after she spoke about her metoo moment. He’s such a genuine person and a kind soul.

Lentils and rice... Oh man... Comfort food for most indians.

Another fascinating and ever so respectful interview with Trevor Noah. I hadn't payed much attention to Padma Lakshmi. Now she is definitely on my radar. Such a brilliant star she is.

100/100 for pronouncing ‘PadmaLakshmi’ correctly. Now you all need to focus on ‘Tulsi’ and ‘Kamala’. Hint: All the vowels are short.

You can tell Trevor is trying his best to keep his cool and stay focused because her beauty has him in an internal panic at the beginning of the clip 😂

The last line touched my heart... So powerful

9:21 It's not because it wasn't so bad, it was because it was so bad. That makes a lot of sense. The emphasis on the second so, was the cherry on top. Edit: Thank you again, chez moi!
