Trevor Noah's reaction to the Biden-Trump debate is so much better than the actual thing
Watch Next

Well, the first Biden-Trump debate is over, and Trevor Noah is just as baffled as the rest of us.

"They don't need a moderator for this thing, they need a UFC ref," says The Daily Show host in the reaction video above.

"I'm telling you, man, they need to switch things up, they need to figure something out. Do anything! Give the next moderator a spray bottle just to spritz them anytime they interrupt. I promise you Trump will be quiet, because his hair turns into a gremlin if it gets wet."

Noah goes on to stress the importance of bringing in fact-checkers for the next debate, before offering a tempting alternative to the format altogether.

"We should just let these guys wrestle," Noah says. "Just let them physically wrestle each other. Because the reality is, everyone's made up their mind. There's no such thing as an undecided voter, it's just people too embarrassed to say how they'll vote. So let's entertain America at least, with two old men wrestling. And the winner gets a free hip replacement."

To be fair, we'd watch that.
