Kirk was shot immediately after, without getting a response to his question.<\/p>\n

Noah said comedians are being pressured not to discuss Kirk’s murder, and pushed back the idea that “there’s nothing funny” about it.<\/p>\n

“‘Oh, there’s nothing funny.’ No, don’t say that because as a comedian, I’ll be like, ‘I’m sure there’s something funny about it!’ The guy was shot while defending guns! Do you understand how — I’m not even writing that as a joke!” Noah said during a stand-up routine.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>“As a human, you have to admit that is an incongruous, funny thing that happens. You are there, you’re like, onstage, and you’re like, ‘Let me tell you why people should have guns.’ Wa-pow!” he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Noah added that the “whole thing is ridiculous,” and the purpose of comedy is to “find the moment of solace.” He also said people telling him not to joke about certain topics only makes him “find the funny” in them. <\/p>\n<p>Noah said that the U.S.’s response to Kirk’s murder “was to limit speech,” instead of limiting “the thing that ended his life.” He also said it is “weird” how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3805222\/antifascist-sayings-written-charlie-kirk-shooter-bullet-casings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kirk’s assassin “wrote jokes on the bullets,”<\/a> and that it is both “terrible and funny when you have time to think about it.”<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3812881\/jimmy-kimmel-pulled-charlie-kirk-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ABC pulled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s show<\/a> on Sept. 17 after he claimed “the [Make America Great Again] gang” was trying to characterize Kirk’s assassin as “anything other than one of them.” The broadcasting company said it “<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >strongly objects&rdquo<\/a>; to Kimmel’s comments. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/3844263\/ken-paxton-expands-discord-investigation-charlie-kirk-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>KEN PAXTON EXPANDS DISCORD INVESTIGATION AFTER SUSPECTED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN USED PLATFORM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kimmel’s show returned on Sept. 23, and the host said, “It was never my intention to blame any specific group.” <\/p>\n<p>Andrew Kolvet, Kirk’s producer, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3821569\/charlie-kirk-producer-dismisses-kimmel-explanation-not-good-enough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kimmel’s statement was “not good enough”<\/a> and suggested the comedian apologize “for saying the shooter was MAGA.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trevor Noah jokes Charlie Kirk died “defending guns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2497203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AP25034156345188.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[44291,62506,64907],"class_list":["post-2497202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-charlie-kirk","tag-gun-debate","tag-trevor-noah"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AP25034156345188.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2497202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2497202"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2497202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2497206,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2497202\/revisions\/2497206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2497203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2497202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2497202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2497202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
