South African comedian and host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon recently, to promote his upcoming film "Born a Crime," based on his best-selling autobiographical novel by the same name.

Back in February it was announced that none other than Kenyan superstar Lupita Nyong'o would play the role of Noah's mom, Patricia in the upcoming adaptation. He revealed that Nyong'o was filming Black Panther when she called Noah, out of no where, to tell him she wanted to play his mother in the film. "She called me and was like 'hello Trevor, I want to be your mom'," he told Fallon. Though he was slightly confused at first, of course, he agreed.

According to Noah, Nyong'o's "ass kicking" abilities, as seen in Black Panther made her uniquely qualified for the role."When I saw Lupita in Black Panther and saw how she kicked everyone's asses, I was like 'oh, yeah! That reminds me of how my mom used to whoop my ass," Noah quipped. "I grew up in Wakanda with a women like Lupita whooping my ass."

The Daily Show host also shared details about his upcoming 28-city arena tour, and his adventures traveling throughout America versus elsewhere in the world as well as his upcoming Netflix special "Son of Patricia," which is due out November 20. He tells the funny story of how he came up with the title for the special, which basically came about because of him not being able to "throw tantrums [as a child] because I wasn't white"—story of our lives, right?
