LAHORE – The Daily Show host, Trevor Noah, in a section of his show, described the idea of war between India and Pakistan as “the most entertaining war of all times”. His comments are being scrutinized as he clearly failed to realise the kind of bloodshed war brings with it. War is anything but entertaining. Noah further adds fuel to the fire when he says that this would be the longest war of all time due to another “dance number”.

The comedian apologized after he was slammed for his comments.
When one Twitter user accused him of mocking “war through a Bollywood stereotype”, Noah responded with an explanation of his comedy process – but also said “I am sorry that this hurt you and others, that’s not what I was trying to do”.
He said that he used comedy to “process pain and discomfort”, pointing out that he had even made jokes about his mother being shot in the head.
