February is Black History Month, but has the Trump administration changed the way we commemorate it? Josh Johnson hit the streets to find out. What up world? It's Josh Johnson and it's also Black History Month. Except this year Trump is back in the White House and any mention of anything diverse, equitable or inclusive, AKA Black is absolutely taboo. So I'm out here to see if we can find some people to help us celebrate the new History Month. Said it can. You Hit me with the story of Mark Martin Luther King Jr. Without saying stuff like. Or. Segr is a tough one. Okay, so he was a leader of the. At the time. Ooh, Shy away from that word. I mean, A is gonna get people asking questions. But tell me the story in a few sentences of Rosa Parks without saying stuff like. Woman. She's tired. She was a woman in a time. Okay. Who needed transportation. Yeah, yeah. And she was unable to take the transportation she deserved in the. Can I say seat? Yeah, you can say seat in the seat she deserved. Okay, can you tell me about Frederick Douglass? Without saying. I know he was. It was Tupac who learned the most out of Frederick Douglass. It was inspiration through Frederick Douglass and what he did in his time that informed Tupac to inform himself on the law. People didn't know that. He hit me with something I'd never thought about before, which is that Frederick Douglass gave us Tupac in a sense, which I did not see coming. Why do you think some people are so against True Mom? Oh, some people are just posterior orifices. I don't understand that concept. Yeah. But I guess they have some issues. More therapy required. Yeah. Okay, so if the only thing a person has going for them is the fact that they're white, then they're gonna cling to that. While I agree with everything you said, it's probably one of the worst things you could have hit on. Okay, gonna pull you aside right here for a quick sidebar. Now, are there any that I'm not aware of? And we're, like, getting together and going over Malcolm X. You could go to a Lauryn Hill concert, wait for her not to show up, and then talk to people at that concert. Okay. All right. I appreciate you playing. And you know what? Because you did such a great job, I do have a prize for you. Okay. You won a Harriet Tubman 20. Oh. So I have for both of you. Oh, my God. A Harriet Tubman 20. Thank you. Maybe, you know, one day you can use those. Those Tubmans to buy something. Beyonce tickets. Beyonce tickets. Yeah, Beyonce tickets would be great. It would take a substantial amount of Tubmans to get Beyonce tickets. But in a better world. February 1, 1965. It's the black History Month Daily Show. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. My guest tonight, up and coming comedian Bill Cosby. This guy's jokes are gonna knock you out. But we begin in Selma, Alabama. If you aren't familiar with Selma, it's a small southern city located 10 miles east of no Negroes, please and 5 miles north of say boy. And it's also where today, recent Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Got into some legal trouble. Dateline, Selma civil rights leader the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Was arrested today while attempting to lead a mass march of 300 Negroes on the Dallas County Courthouse to protest voter registration procedures. The Negroes were taken into custody on charges of parading without a permit. For more, we go to our junior civil rights correspondent, Roy Woods Sr. Now, Roy, what did you see out there? I saw a bunch of bull, Trevor. Proud Negro men and women being arrested for no reason. Well, now, Roy, the police said there they were parading without a permit. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Did the Klan fill out their paperwork before marching in my neighborhood? When have you ever seen white people arrested for parading without a permit? Well, Roy, that's just the world we live in. Black people aren't ever gonna get the same treatment as white people, and that's never gonna change. Actually, Trevor, I don't agree. You have to look at the bright side of things. Yeah, maybe the cops arrested Dr. King and a bunch of our brothers and sisters, but they did it this time without violence. That's Progress. I mean, 40 years ago, a white man wouldn't even give a black man a glass of water. Now, not only can we have water, we can get it whether we want it or not. Well, I mean, you. I guess you could call that progress. Oh, I do call that progress. We've gone from lynchings to beatings now to peaceful arrests. In fact, I heard Dr. King is coming back right here next month to Selma. To march across that bridge. And at the rate of progress we making, I bet you it's gonna be a fun day marching arm and arm with the police. And one day they'll make a movie about it and it'll be called Selma.

Larry, thanks for joining us. Appreciate it. Okay, first of all, John, relax. It's not Black History Month yet. We all have about 45 minutes to blow off some steam before we bow our heads in solemn reverence for Harriet Tubman and the Tuskegee Airmen. Larry, I don't think you should undersell contributions of the Underground Railroad and black pilots in World War II. I think it's obviously worth taking time to commemorate these achievements. Don't let me stop you, Larry. I feel stupid. Don't you feel that Black History Month serves a purpose? Yes. The purpose of making up for centuries of oppression with 28 days of trivia. You know what? I'd rather we got casinos. Sorry, it's not. I'm perhaps not in a great position here, but I don't think it's trivia. I think it's important. Really? Okay. Name the important stuff. Well, like you were saying, Harriet Tubman. All right. And the Tuskegee Airmen. Okay. And the fellow that invented the peanut. Oh, okay. And the heart operation. Right. Okay. All right. Now we're at February 5th. Okay? By the 8th, we'll be down to the Wayans brothers. And not even the famous ones, Zeppo. Larry. What? What are you suggesting that we do, John? Let's be honest. Black History Month is a drag, okay? White people have to pretend to care about black people. Black people have to pretend to care about history. It's a lose, lose. Okay, okay, look. I'm suggesting the real celebration should be tonight. Black History Month eve. Okay, we've got 43 more minutes, so all the party people need to get on the dance floor. What are you. This is. This is not. What. What are you talking about, John? Let's do what the Catholics do with Lent. Before it starts, we'll throw a huge party with a bunch of parades. I don't know. We'll call it Whitey Gras. What would People do with this, this, this whitey gras? Well, hopefully show us their tits, you know, and not the National Geographic type. Believe me, we'll get our fill of that next month. Thank you very much, Larry. Larry Wilmore. Ah, welcome to CP Time, the only show that's for the culture. Today we will be discussing the history of civil rights marches. They were how black people fought the system, made change. It's also how your granddaddy got his steps in. Now there are the famous marches that we all know about. The march on Washington, Birmingham, and the march in Selma, which I was getting ready to attend until I found out that march was on a bridge. I don't do bridges. Well, I told Dr. King, if God wanted the black man to cross rivers, we would have been born with those little floaty things on our arm like white people. But there are many other marches in black history worth noting, such as the 1995 Million Man March in Washington D.C. now, some people say the crowd size didn't actually reach a million men, but if that's true, it's only because it was the 90s and all those parachute pants took up too much space. But at least hundreds of thousands of men attended this march. They gathered to call attention to black issues like structural racism, unemployment, and most importantly, an end to the Jheri curl, or as I call it, the black mullet. That hairstyle has held more black back then bad credit. The Jheri curl is the only hairstyle that made black men look like Jewish mothers. Sadly, I did not attend the Million Man March. I tried to, but I misheard the location. You see, they said it was at the National Mall, but what I thought they said was the Nashville Mall. And let's just say all those white people in Tennessee were as confused as I was when I was protesting in front of an Orange Julius. Now, you can't speak about marches without speaking about the big, bad, sexy, afro repping Black Panthers. Look at them. Anyone wearing leather in the summertime means business. In 1967, the Black Panthers protested against California gun control by marching to the Capitol with their grievances and some AK47s. That's right, white people. I know you like to think that being out in public with the big gun was your idea, but that was some black shit first. And while bringing guns to a debate about gun control is not very logical, it is very effective. In fact, it gives you the upper hand in most situations. My Uncle Bebo once walked into a Chipotle, forgot he had a loaded pistol in his hand. He got free guacamole for life. Well done, Uncle Bevo. But before you criticize armed protests, remember it was a different time and you had to be there, which I was not. I wanted to join the Black Panthers, but the day before the protest, my barber cut my afro too low and I ended up with a buzzfade. I couldn't join the Black Panthers looking that square. I looked like a Wesley Snipes who does pay his taxes. And finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the powerful black women who fought to unshackle the chains of oppression. One of those icons is Ida B. Wells, who famously took over a 1913 March for Women's suffrage. The white women said that she had to march in the back, but Ida refused, telling those white ladies, either I go with you or not at all. Which is basically a turn of the century way of saying, I'm about to take my earrings off, heifer. Now, I didn't attend this march either because I was not yet born. But my grandmother, Regina Wood Jr. Was able to go, but she didn't go. She said she was going with her best friend Susan, but the two got lost on the way and somehow they ended up in the Caribbean where they've been living as roommates ever since. Well, that's all the time we have for today. I'm Roy Wood Jr. This has been CP time. And remember, the Funko culture must have been more than friends. I guess they ain't got but one bed in they house.

You know, this final jury on the murder charge, the hung jury and the murder charge Michael Dunn trial, it's gotta be hard to take. Yeah. John, the Dunn verdict is really the cherry on top of the. It's Sunday. That is Black History Month. First. First we got assigned February, the month nobody wants. The only month that contains the letters F and U. And then in case we didn't get the message, they round out the month by letting another white guy off for gunning down a black kid. You do know Black History Month's not like deer season or turkey season, right? It's not the month when you're allowed to shoot black people. Well, that's okay. That's true. Why do you think the jury believes Dunn's self defense claim? I mean, the kids were unarmed. Sure. I mean, they looked unarmed to us and to the police and to the other eyewitnesses. But that's because we're not wearing fear goggles. Fear fear goggles. Yeah. That's the lens through which chronically terrified white people look at black kids. Like, say, a guy who carries a gun in his glove compartment and thinks Florida juries favor black people. Fear goggles. Turn something like this into this. Right. And once you put on fear goggles, you'll hit anything with a bullet. Anything. What can young black people do then in the face of this automatic fear? I'm glad you asked. Thank you. I've come up with a new curriculum for Black History Month. Forget all that George Washington Carver peanut crap. Black kids need life lessons they can actually use. Like what? What would you Do. Okay, number one, kids, stay in school. No, that's good. That's good advice for anybody. By which I mean, if you're at school, stay in the building. If you're at home, stay at home. Don't go wandering to the street where you might scare a white person. And look, whatever you need, order it in Seamless Web, Amazon Prime, Zappos. Those are your friends now. Which brings us to lesson two. Don't hang out with your friends anymore. So stay inside. Don't. Isn't there safety in numbers, though? To some extent, not for black teenagers. The only thing scarier than one black kid is a whole pack of them. John. Four black guys could be taking a calculus test together. And to jumpy white folks, it would still look like a scene from the Wire. Now, lesson three. Turn the music off. But what if it's not rap? Can't they listen to, you know, classical in the car? Oh, what, like Yo Yo Ma? Cause that name sounds. Sounds pretty ghetto to me, John. Jessica, what if the shoe was on the other foot? What if those black kids said they felt threatened because Dunn actually had a gun and he came after them? Couldn't they have shot Dunn and claimed. Stand your ground? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Have you seen the statistics that works for Black people? About 1% of the time. See, John, the stand your ground defense is like. It works miracles for whites, but it will ruin your colors. Jessica Williams, ladies and gentlemen, with your life. This is the very first day of Black History Month, so I thought I'd hit the streets to ask black and white people how they were celebrating. As we enter yet another Black History Month, we thought it was important to connect with people and to find out what their idea of black history was. And nothing says black history like Hollywood Boulevard actually is the closest that the crew will come to Martin Luther King Boulevard. So how are you? I'm doing good. It's Black History Month. Absolutely. What excites you the most about it? I think it's an opportunity. We can celebrate ourselves, our contributions as a people. Like, it makes me feel good. I love Black History Month. What do you love about it? Our kids are getting more educated. Not in Florida, though. Well, I don't know about Florida. Nobody does. What do you know about Black History Month? I'm tourist, so I don't know much, but I respect everyone I like white, black, brown, everyone I know. But they already had their turn. It's our turn now. What does Black History Month mean to you? Celebration. A celebration. Are there any black people you like to celebrate Martin Lawrence, out of all the black people? I mean, I love Black History Month. Yes. You excited? It'll be my first. It's your first Black History Month? Yeah. How long have you been black? My whole life, but we don't do it in South Africa. Oh, you don't do it in South Africa. What's the blackest thing you've ever done? I think when we have guests over, I don't want to share our food, so we just all go hungry until they leave. What's the blackest thing you've ever done? Be chitlins. Oh, man. I put cereal in a Glad bath so I can keep it for the roaches. Because if the roach ate it first, I'm damn sure ain't gonna eat it. That's so black, I'm embarrassed. Every time I go to a new city, I like to go to the grocery store, right? I'll stop. I'll get some watermelon and some chicken, and I'll see if they'll say something to me at the register. Has anybody ever don't go to Mississippi. Have you ever been denied a loan? No, I haven't. No. That's. That's probably the whitest thing you've ever done. What is the whitest thing you've ever done? With surfing. You didn't. Shut up. And how did that work out? Not very good. What is the whitest thing you've ever done? Improv. Pay my taxes. Mayonnaise. Can you name any of the members of the Wu Tang Clan? No, I can't. You know any other words to the black national anthem? That's messed up, but I don't. No. You know any of the words to the black national anthem? I know to stand up, even if you don't know the words. I don't know the words. You're gonna be respectful. Can you name any member of the Wu Tang Clan? No. Have you ever been late somewhere? Heck, no. I'm very punctual. That's pretty white. I know. Do you know any of the members of the Wu Tang Clan? No, I don't know. That's messed up. You about to take my car for me right now? Give it here. Give it here. You know any of the words to the black national anthem? No. You know any of the members of the Wu Chang clan? I do. Woo. Ghostface, Killer, Raekwon. Got jza, rza. That's it. What is the blackest thing you've ever done? I went to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffle. Yeah. What is the blackest thing you've ever done. Oh, damn, that's pretty black right there. Do you follow anybody on black Twitter? I don't have a black Twitter. Smoke weed? I was in a hip hop group in high school. No, you weren't. I was. What was your name in the group? Big N Tasty. Big N Tasty. Give me something. Look at me, look at me, look at me. Bread chasing like a bakery. Like, I don't know. I like that. What is the blackest thing you've ever done? That's a racist question. Of course. What is the blackest, the darkest thing you've ever done? Uh, talking to you. So. So, as you all forgot, it's Black History Month, uh, let's. Let's commemorate it with a look at the most recent black history the Obamas and what they're doing post presidency and pre apocalypse. The Obamas appear to be enjoying their R and R as they vacation on billionaire Richard Branson's private island in the Virgin Islands. You see them there taking a casual stroll in beach attire. The former president in flip flops and wearing his hat backwards. He never wore his hat backwards as president. I don't think he's never worn his hat backwards. He's never like, why is that a thing? People even notice he's wearing his hat backwards. It's almost like he's black. Oh, my God. Yeah. Obama wears his hat in whatever direction the country's going in. That's a thing he does. That's why he's never worn it the other day. Either way. Well, it's either that or he's turning it to face Mecca. Either way, it's. It's his thing. I like the idea that now that Obama is done being president, he's just gonna go, like, full black, you know, capped back with no given. He's gonna come back from vacation, telling everyone to call him Hussein. You know, it's like, Excuse me, Mr. President. It's Mr. Hussein, President X, bruh. Meanwhile, America's other president of color, Donald Trump, was also observing Black History Month. Uh, but he did it by inviting some black people for what he called a listening session. That's what he called it. Seriously. And at first I was like, what is a listening session with Trump? I thought it was just like him going, you guys gotta hear the new Mego Bad and Bougie cooking up dope with an Uzi. Don't drink any of that Drake in here. He's soft. But. But give Trump the credit, guys, because nobody thought he'd remember Black History Month. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. This was the same person who left Jews out of the Holocaust. Remembrance Day. We're lucky Donald Trump didn't come out today. Like I wanna say, all months matter. That's all I wanna say. Instead, he invited black people to the White House. Yeah, well. Well, very specific black people. Mr. President, we've been a supporter of yours from the beginning. I work for you at the Department of Defense. Chairman Priebus called me out of my little town to come help run African American outreach for your campaign. I ran your campaign. West Virginia. I was proud to be, be the leader of the education policy team for Trump transition. I am, as you know, the former vice president of the wonderful charity that your son founded right now. Now, now, before you hate. Before you hate. I think it's very nice of Donald Trump to have every black person who voted for him in one room. But to his credit, Trump really tried to make an effort to connect to black people and also to clear up some misunderstandings. You read All About Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said, I took the statue out of my office, and it turned out that that was fake news. Fake news, Fake news. That is true. Trump has kept the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. In the Oval Office. But, you know, sometimes he looks at it and he's just like, Obama, what are you still doing here? No, no, I'm just joking. I'm just joking. Trump knows the difference between doct, but that might be as far back as his history goes, because listen to how he honors the great abolitionist writer Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more. Is Frederick here now? Stand up, Fred. Stand up. Where's Fred? Are you. Are you Fred? Um, Ben Carson. That's who I am. Well, tell, Tell Fred I'm a big fan. Tell him I'm a fan. Now, they only let the cameras in for, for the beginning of this whole thing. But I wish so bad I could have heard the entire discussion because the parts we heard were so. Aw, so amazing. I was recently contacted by some of the top gang thugs in Chicago for a sit down. They reached out to me because they associated me with you. They respect you, they believe in what you're doing, and they wanna have a sit down about lowering that body count. But these are guys straight from the streets. No politicians, straight street guys. But they're gonna commit that if they lower their body count, we'll come in and we'll do some social programs. So wait, we're supposed to believe that these gangs told this dude to tell Trump that they respect him? Which. Which, by the way, what does that say about Trump? Hey, yo, B, we saw how you run this, man. And yo, you one of us. And Trump's like, that's what I've been saying this whole time. Bad and bougie. Bad and bougie. We'll be right back. Today is the last day of Black History Month. So to get her thoughts, we turn to an actual black expert. Dulce Sloan. Hello, friends. Today is February 29, which is Leap day and black Women's history day. And if you don't know that, it's because I just made it up. Why? Because the rest of February is taken. Dr. King gets two weeks, the presidents get a three day weekend, and they even give a day to a groundhog. What the hell is a groundhog? That's not like. Is that even a real animal? Are we sure? Isn't it just a big ass guinea pig with a good publicist? So I'm claiming Februnar. So I'm claiming February 29th for us. Yay. Why only one day every four years? Because you account for, you know, the wage gap and your momma, them. You know, the math works out okay. Trust me, I carry the four and everything. But the day is almost over, so let's celebrate some black women as fast as we can. Okay, throw a clock on the screen. Wait, no, that. That looks like a shot clock. This ain't the NBA. No, make it historical. It. Is that a cuckoo clock? Are you trying to say black women are crazy? The nerve. The unmitigated girl. Okay, just put up any clock. Oh, hey, sis. Okay, I like her. She's black and she looks like she don't take no shit from nobody. Okay, let's celebrate some black women. Start the clock. Okay. Shirley Chisholm, incredible congresswoman, chiseled her way into history by being the first black woman to run for president for a major party in 1972. She spent 14 years in Congress representing Brooklyn. And I mean Brooklyn Brooklyn. Spike Lee Brooklyn, not Lena Dunham Brooklyn. If you thought Biggie had a tough time making money, imagine going door to door in bed style, asking for campaign contributions. Donations raise money. Donations raise money. Y' all was off beat. It's all right. Listen. Next. Dr. Shirley Jackson. Ooh, another Shirley. The first black woman to earn a doctorate from mit. She helped innovate touch tone phones, portable fax machines and caller id. She's the only reason long distance Relationships work. So every time you use your phone, pour a little WI Fi out for your girl, Shirley. Next up, Missy Elliott for proving that black women can make a hit song while singing forwards and backwards. It's your fun of whipping you in any act is how you say that. Missy, we salute you. You salute we, Missy. See, that's backwards. Okay, look at your girl. All right, I'm doing it. Next. Okay, we got an auntie in the White House. Yes. Ms. Kamala Harris. First female VP and one bad bike ride away from being president. Listen, I'm just saying, if Huffy Bikes really wanted a female president, loosen some chains at the factory. Y' all could make history. Help a sister out. Come on. Next. Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space in 1992. What took so long? And that makes sense. Cause in the 90s, black people were doing whatever they could to get the farthest away from the lapd. So you saying I could go to outer space while these cops stay on Earth? Oh, I'mma take it. I'mma take it. Come on, come on. Let's go, let's go, let's go. And the most amazing thing is that she came back. That's never a guarantee, but, girl, why? There's a black woman on family matters that went upstairs and never came back down again. Next. Lisa Leslie, a basketball legend who was the first woman to dunk in the NBA. That's right, she could dunk. Which is way more impressive, because when women do it, we do it with titties. Slows you down. She changed the game like me every time I play uno with my five year old nephew. Drive forward. Drive 17. Uno. Hi. In your face, Declan. Next. Hey, it's my mommy. Hey, everybody. Look at my mama. She's out there every day giving, serving, loving, and I mean literally mothering me. Literally mothering. And you know, she made me. You're welcome. You know what? That's not bad. I'm surprised I was able to cover that many people. That's okay. You know, we can celebrate even more Black women in 2028. So there's not gonna be an urgent, thin dual St. Sloan, everybody.

This special “TDS Time Machine” edition of The Daily Show marks Black History Month by revisiting standout segments from years past, blending current events, historical parody, and razor-sharp Daily Show comedy.

The episode features classic Daily Show humor: satirical, self-referential, and unafraid to use biting irony to critique America’s awkward relationship with Black history. The language is playful, sometimes absurd, yet remains anchored in truth.
The correspondents mix proud celebration, gallows humor, and frustration, highlighting both the joys and surreal frustrations of Black American history and its official recognition. Would-be awkward moments become springboards for laughter and real talk.
This “TDS Time Machine” episode weaves together the comedy of discomfort, historical parody, and sharp social commentary. If you missed it, you’ll come away with a richer sense of why Black History Month is both treasured and lampooned—and how history, in the hands of The Daily Show, is never just in the past.
