Trevor Noah Gives 'Honest' Response To Bubba Wallace Noose Incident

Trevor Noah didnt have a funny response Wednesday after the FBI determined that a noose found in the racetrack garage of Black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace wasnt intended as a racist attack on him . (See the video below.)

Investigators said the noose had been there since at least October before Wallace was using the stall at Alabamas Talladega Superspeedway and that it was used to pull the garage door down.

TheDaily Show host, who called a noose the N-word of ropes, just spoke from the heart about what transpired.

Im going to be honest with you: Im just relieved, Noah said. Im relieved.

Because for a story involving a noose, this is the best outcome, he added.

Noah then asked Daily Show correspondent and comedian Roy Wood Jr. for his take.

Wood wasnt as sanguine and compared a noose to excrement.

A noose is never good news, Wood said, adding If you see a turd in your kitchen, you dont care why it was there or how long or who put the turd there. ... Theres a turd in your kitchen, and you aint happy about it, and you want that shit gone.

Wood also asked, of all the knots they could have used and he called on his Boy Scout knowledge to name several why did they use a noose to close a garage door?
