Overview

• Trevor Noah posted a new stand-up clip on his official YouTube channel in which he discussed Charlie Kirk’s killing and called the circumstances “incongruous” and “something funny.”
• In the bit, Noah said Kirk “was shot while defending guns,” a characterization he presented as part of a broader riff on what comedians can joke about.
• Breitbart and Fox News highlighted the claim as inaccurate, with Breitbart publishing what it described as Kirk’s final exchange about violence to dispute that he was defending gun rights at that moment.
• Kirk, 31, was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, a killing that has drawn national attention and grief.
• Coverage notes the episode has renewed arguments over comedic boundaries, factual framing, and the wider debates about free speech and political violence in the U.S.
