Actually, I had the pleasure
of meeting President Obama
while he was in office.
Probably one of the craziest experiences
I've ever had in my life.
Yeah, I was...
[cheering]
It came out of nowhere. 
It came out of nowhere.
I was at The Daily Show,
I was in my office
and I got a phone call
from the administration.
And someone on the other
end was like, "Hi, Trevor.
Would you like to interview the President
of the U.S. in the White House?"
And I was like,
"Do you ask stupid questions?"
I was like, "Of course I want to meet
the President of the United States.
Are you serious?"
And the day finally came.
I went to DC with my TV crew.
And they set us up in a room,
which was literally opposite
the Oval Office.
We put all our cameras in place.
All we're doing now is waiting for
the President to arrive.
So we're staring at the door
with baited breath.
And the reason we're staring
is they don't give you
an exact time of the President's arrival,
for his safety.
So they just give you a window,
like the cable guy.
[laughter]
So we're all waiting there,
listening to every footstep,
every moment,
and then he just popped in behind us,
scared the shit out of everybody.
Yeah. There's a secret door,
but they don't tell you.
Again for safety. Right.
We're staring at the door
and suddenly he's like, "Hello."
I was like... arghhh!
But I had a great time
in the interview with him.
He was really kind to everyone
in the room,
and then we turned off the cameras,
and I promise you, he became even nicer,
we just had a conversation.
I thought he'd leave.
He's President of the U.S.,
he's got to go do something.
And he just chilled for a bit, you know?
And we spoke as human beings,
and it went really well
until he turned to me and he said,
"Trevor, I've got a show
that I'm doing in a few weeks,
a little thing,
I thought maybe you'd want to pop by
and perform, if you don't mind."
I said, "Mr. President,
I would be honored.
Just let me know when and where.
What's the show going to be for, sir?"
He said, "Trevor, I'm doing a little thing
for my aides,
and I thought maybe you'd
want to be there."
I said, "I would love to, thank you.
I'm sorry, a show for what?"
He said, "For my aides, Trevor."
I said,
"You have AIDS?"
[laughter]
And then--
And then he explained
what he meant.
And I wanted the earth
to swallow me whole.
[loud laughter]
Because I had just looked at 
the President of the United States,
and asked him if he had AIDS.
And the worst thing
is that he was nice to me as well.
'Cause I said that and then he explained
and I was like, "I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean it.
I don't even know why--
You said "aides", and then AIDS..."
Because, here's the thing.
In my defense,
I get it now.
He means aides,
as in the White House aides
the people who help the President.
I get it now.
But in my defense, where I'm from
AIDS is some other shit
that doesn't help anybody.
No one in Africa is walking around saying,
"Let me introduce you to my AIDS."
So now I'm here.
I'm frazzled. I'm like,
"Mr. President, I'm so sorry.
[speaking fast] I didn't mean that.
You don't have AIDS, even if you did
there's nothing wrong with having AIDS.
There's no stigma.
Actually, I don't know what I'm saying.
I'm so sorry."
He was like, "Trevor, Trevor,
calm down, Trevor.
Trevor, Trevor calm down."
"I'm so sorry, Mr. President,
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm the dumbest person you ever met.
He was like, "Trevor, Trevor,"
"I'm the dumbest person you've ever met."
He was like, "No, Trevor that's not true.
I've met Trump."
[loud laughter]
Get out of here!
[cheering]
