The Daily Show‘s “field reporters” have dealt with a fair amount of hilariously oblivious responses from interviewees over the years, but on last night’s show, correspondent Aasif Mandvi appeared to have been caught off-guard by just how hilariously oblivious his interviewee was.
Speaking with Buncombe County Republican precinct chair Don Yelton on the subject of North Carolina’s controversial voter ID law, Mandvi attempted to prompt a reaction by declaring “the law is not racist, and you’re not racist.”
Expecting Yelton to fire back with an unequivocal “no,” Mandvi was instead treated to several long seconds of introspection, followed by, “well, I’ve been called a bigot before.”
Then, as they say, things got weird.
