Here's Daily Show host Trevor Noah's advice for Hillary Clinton the next time she thinks about making a racist joke: Don't.

"Why would you do this, Hillary? This should be so easy. Just don't say the things that will lose you the votes," Noah said in his Tuesday night episode, referring to the recent joke Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made during a comedy sketch at a Saturday night dinner. De Blasio, jokingly explaining why he took so long to endorse Clinton, said that he was running on "CP Time," a reference to "Colored People's Time," a racist term that implies African-Americans are often late. Clinton responded, "Cautious politician time. I've been there."
