Exclusive - In the Mind of Idris: The Daily Show

Idris Elba acts out a scene from a screenplay that Trevor wrote for him.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

This was honestly like a kid trolling his uncle.

I like how Idris visibly gets lost in the unraveling insanity of Trevor when he mentions Benedict Cumberbatch.

[mwapem]

I like how after the Bennedict Cumberbatch story starts Idris pauses to ponder where this is going and if Trevor is sane.

[GraceMotley]

Wait, so he has a girlfriend, he was on Tinder, AND he was flirting with the cashier?? TREVOR!

Trevor's impression is so so good. I'm

[Catsheal]

Idris: “Hold up Hold up”
Trevor: “I didn’t say cut! I didn’t say cut!”
I don’t know why but I found that so funny

Idris and Trevor... My ovaries just exploded

[Victoria-cmjr]

"She was being weird last night when I mentioned Benedict Cumberbatch" ..
Idris looks at Trevor in disbelief.. " You just mentioned the competition"...
Ha ha ha ha ha, I can't stop laughing... Hilarious!

[hudaa]

I... Can't... Stop... Laughing 😂 😂 "Hey girl, how bout I pacific your rim" and that adorable laugh at the end. Trevor, DAMN.

[Underscre]

Can't help but think of the stand up where Trevor was explaining why Idris can't be 007

[evemosongo]

'Pacific your rim'... I had the exact reaction that Idris had for two seconds then I started bawling!

[iamrza]

Idris & Denzel Washington in a movie together? Would be epic!

[marleyj]
