But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t willing to use [Prince Harry](http://time.com/5287214/meghan-markle-princes-charles-birthday/) and [Meghan Markle’s](http://time.com/5287507/royal-wedding-dress-copy/) nuptials as comedic fodder. While performing his set at London’s 02 Arena on Saturday, _The Daily Show_ host shared his take on the hype surrounding the [impact of Harry and Meghan’s ceremony at St. George’s Chapel](http://time.com/5281096/meghan-markle-multicultural-britain/). “My favorite thing was how the British media talked about how black the event was,” he said. “This is like one of those things where I understand they want to talk about it because you’re not used to having like a ‘black wedding.’ He went on to joke about the media’s coverage. “‘Trevor, would you mind speaking about the wedding and really all the black performers? There was a black cellist and there was a black choir and a black pastor. How do you feel?’…It’s a wedding, what do you want me to say? That’s a normal wedding. I wasn’t watching that wedding being like, ‘Whoa, there’s black!'” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5288440/trevor-noah-royal-wedding-stand-up/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5288440/trevor-noah-royal-wedding-stand-up/"},"headline":"Trevor Noah Is Here With the Royal Wedding Stand-Up Set You Were Waiting For","datePublished":"2018-05-23T15:07:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:37.715Z","description":"The Daily Show host performed a set the same day as Harry and Meghan's nuptials","url":"https://time.com/5288440/trevor-noah-royal-wedding-stand-up/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royal wedding","trevor noah"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1302b42b27a73e13/698931447cdbac84fad5cf45/trevor-noah-royal-wedding.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1302b42b27a73e13/698931447cdbac84fad5cf45/trevor-noah-royal-wedding.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Trevor-Noah-YouTube-Brandcast-2018 - Presentation","caption":"Trevor Noah speaks at YouTube Brandcast 2018","creditText":"Taylor Hill/FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5288440/trevor-noah-royal-wedding-stand-up/","name":"Trevor Noah Is Here With the Royal Wedding Stand-Up Set You Were Waiting For"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"The Daily Show host performed a set the same day as Harry and Meghan's nuptials","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5288440/trevor-noah-royal-wedding-stand-up/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5288440/trevor-noah-royal-wedding-stand-up/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
