"It's time once again for us to take a step back from covering the news of the day and look back at everything that made 2018 the year we all want to forget," Trevor Noah said on Wednesday's Daily Show. "And we'll start with the one guy who won't let us forget him: President Donald J. Trump." This year, he said, "we spent so much time on Trump's evilness that we didn't really get to enjoy one of his most important characteristics, and that is: the dude is super weird. No, seriously guys, the president is a weird dude. We just never talk about it because it all happens under the evil."

"So for a minute, we're not going to pay attention to the bad things he does," Noah said. "We're just going to enjoy how weird the president is. So let's take a moment to look back on 2018, the Year in Trump Being Weird." After Noah ran through some of Trump's verbal quirks, his bizarre habit of just laying stuff down, and that toilet paper incident, Desi Lydic and Jaboukie Young-White reminded everyone of some other weird stories that you might have forgotten happened this year (plus some that obviously didn't), and Dulcé Sloan offered her theory on the rash of white people calling the cops on black people doing nothing wrong.
