Trevor Noah describes why taking a dump is so profound on 'Hot Ones'

You can't keep laughing for long when your mouth's on fire.

Comedian and host of the Daily Show, Trevor Noah, is the latest victim putting his palette to the test with increasingly spicier wings on the hit YouTube show, Hot Ones.

Noah holds his own across several sauces, with host Sean Evans declaring him a "veteran" of spicy food. But what finally gets him is the dreaded sting of the Trinidad Scorpion sauce. "Can you feel your tongue right now?" Noah asks, scrunching up his face. "This is one of those 'don't breathe' hot sauces."

While trying to laugh through the pain, Noah discusses everything from why political satire on TV matters to the youth, racism in South Africa compared to America, to explaining why "taking a shit" is so profound.

"You are honest, you are humble. Nobody shits cool — from me, all the way to the Queen. It reminds you that we're all the same."

If there's anyone who can eloquently speak on bathroom habits, it's Noah.
