In his Men of the Year profile, Trevor Noah talks to Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Wesley Lowery about [deep breath] 2020's Black Lives Matter protests, his controversial 2016 dinner with Tomi Lahren, his mental health, being biracial in America, where the American press has failed, and—relatedly—building (and evolving) his version of the Daily Show.
