Trevor Noah had one more "covfefe" joke in him on Thursday's Daily Show, and he went big. Perhaps channeling the 1980 South African sleeper classic The Gods Must Be Crazy, Noah plays an African youth named Covfefe who only discovers what his name means through a cryptic typo from the president of the United States. Yes, covfefe jokes are well past their short expiration date — something the Covfefe trailer alludes to — and yes, Twitter is ruining America, but if you have one more covfefe joke left in you, this is a pretty clever one to spend it on.
