Can you bring Denzel Washington to your show? Or Mike Tyson? Or both of them.
One America News Network - NTD News - Breitbart - Sky News Australia - News Max - Project Veritas - The Gateway Pundit - The Liberty Daily!!!..
Oh I thought no quarantine in the US when did that happen, then I read the comments and found out it was an old one! Merry Christmas to all!
Wow his head is the first thing I notice.😅
This is old
Trevor just had to throw a Trump dig in there... then fake laugh intensely
Maurice Ashley the #GOAT💯😎issofts.info/video/v-deo/iIBr2amagsa9w4Y

Big brain. 🍑
Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn.. Brownsville was around the corner and yeah, was a bit rough in the early 90's but survived...
Bet you this badass cant beat my zero dollar phone at chess.
Please stop, I can’t imagine how much the left is paying you. If America is so bad go back to South Africa!
The flimsy sweater acly screw because repair undeniably suspend qua a limping college. chivalrous, kaput hovercraft
I am amazed that the following topics were never brought up: 1) Maurice Ashley is the first man of African decent to become a Grandmaster in the entire world! 2) Alicia Ashley, his sister, was the world boxing champion 3) Devon Ashley, his brother, was the world kickboxing champion To say that Maurice Ashley comes from a family of overachievers is the understatement of this young century! Not bat for a Jamaican immigrant that got to the US only after his 12th birthday. Maurice Ashley is a wonderful chess commentator. I have watched countless tournaments with him as one of the commentators. He is always making very inciteful and witty remarks. He is also a successful book writer and has been the organizer of the "Millionaire Chess Open" tournament which has had 3 instalments.

Daily show back in studio!!!!
Look at that head... dude must have mental powers...
It looks like his brain has muscles.
From the moment I saw the thumbnail: BIG BRAIN!!!! was what I thought.
Big brain time moment
I'm very unhappy with the lack of proper date on this post. Totally fine to rebroadcast old content, however there should be a clear date in the description for CONTEXT. Always.
He literally stores every information in his head.
Ooooh! He did his homework on Trevor. “How the turntables.”
He learns his opponent so he can intisipate their next move and beat them
Lol it is a horsey...knight. I learned a little bit of ches in high school but I don't remember squat now. I would be learning all over again
This guy is 51 years old?! Damn black don't crack
2:47 The would probably say "I mated your sister last night". Maurice here making content family friendly.
Watch my art🎨 issofts.info/baby/8DuMqP6v8fzrA5GBlnedWg
The real life Beth Harmon is Anna Rudolf
Wait... is he back in the studio? Is the afro gone? 😲
This dude got so tired of the British palace guard bearskin hat jokes back when he had a 'fro, he shaved his head. Not such a good idea i think.
That thumbnail makes him look like the love child between Frieza and James Harrison 😂
Aliens live among us.. This guy doesn't have dreams He has movies.
Not THIS President. Maybe get our now "controversial" (plain vanilla) President elect, to put in a good summer camp honing some skills of the game getting into the strategies of the minds vying against him.
Man. I just wanna see what happend to this guy. He havent posted in many years
Thanks for having him on the show, he's so cool.
"Interesting. So we need to teach the President how to play chess is what you're saying." I don't know, Trevor. I'm pretty sure he can't possibly pick it up in the month he has left in office.
"First of all, chess _is_ cool." Ooh. Checkmate, Trevor. The man is a chess, grandmaster. That means you've got to think at least four moves ahead when dealing with him.
Gotham fans 👇
His forehead looks like Confucius’ forehead
Sleigh bells ring. Butter chruning. A little flower might be burning. Now is the time. Bite the butter and fly. This is cannabutter Christmas time. This is cannabutter Christmas tiiime!
Great wrap-up.
Dude looks like Frieza. Also he toots his horn a little too much. As far as grandmasters go, he is bottom of the barrel.
dude is an epic grandmaster. i've watch him play.
I was really thinking in googling: Black Chess grandmaster after watching that netflix show
First step is to train with the janitor in the basement.
That's gonna be really hard man!

Trump would lose the first game and then would refuse to continue, insisting he won.

Hikaru or caruana would be interesting interviews. As would Magnus.
Chess Headmaster or Grandmaster >_>
Two word : Mega and Mind!

Isn’t this an old episode from like months ago?
Damn, my man has a large....mind. No wonder he destroys at chess. I wonder if he has telekinetic powers.

Here are some verifiable facts on the election fraud that just occurred in 2020: there are 212 million registered voters in the United States; 66.2% of those registered voters cast ballots in the 2020 election (per WashingtonPost) which equals 140.34 million people voting in 2020; Trump received 74 million votes; that leaves 66.3 million votes for Biden....So how did Biden get 81 million votes? That's IMPOSSIBLE!!

@Jack Jones I’m not going to read a 270 page report from someone’s Google Drive. Send me a verifiable link to an official website with this “data,” and I’ll look at it. CISA and the DOJ both said the election was free, fair, and secure. And again, you not liking Biden has nothing to do with whether there was fraud. Again, not even Trump’s OWN LAWYERS are making these claims. Why are you so desperate to buy this bullshit?

@Jacob Potischman I left you a link to a 270 page report from a governmental branch that will serves as the basis to question the election's integrity, although you are very aware of the election fraud (unless you are a tinfoil hat wearing moron).... The SCOTUS wants nothing to do with the presidential election. Biden is a segregationist who wrote the "Super Predator" laws aimed at minorities. Biden has an extensive history of corruption and using Institutionalized Oppression and Systematic Racism against THE PEOPLE!

@Jack Jones Genius, you can't use "there is no way he got more votes than Trump" as evidence that he didn't get more votes than Trump. That's meaningless circular logic. I hate Trump with a fiery passion and don't understand how anyone can like him. Does that mean I can declare that he didn't get dozens of millions of votes? Secondly, how come Trump's own lawyers are making vastly smaller claims than Trump himself in court? Maybe because they're under oath in court? And how come he's lost 60 of 61 court cases, mostly under conservative judges, many of which are Trump-appointed, including three SCOTUS justices who, along with the rest of the court, stated unanimously that there was no basis for the lawsuit. Take a hint.

@Jacob Potischman That all would work out fine and well if it weren't for the fact that Biden has the appeal of horse excrement, even people who actually voted for him do not really like him, and there is no way he got more votes than Trump, Obama or any other candidate in history. Also, we have many accounts of election fraud running the gamut of all ways possible to commit fraud. The link below is the 270 page report released this weekend by the Trump legal team that spells out the facts on election fraud. Please take your time and observe all itemized findings and respond with your rebuttal- drive.google.com/file/d/14gnasN0Dj02vrxe8Hfgv8v0MijYU5fdZ/view

And the WP article specifically says 66.2% of VOTING-ELIGIBLE POPULATION. There are 255,000,000 people of voting age. 66.3% of that is 165,750,000 people. Knock off ten million felons and undocumenteds, and the math checks out. How are you so bad at this?
He’s back in the studio?

Son look like a black frieza
That’s what they are playing with our lives currently is chess
Ah man, I thought Trevor was going to make it through an entire 5mins without a cheap laugh about President Trump, guess not. We will have to wait another 4 years for that....

@Drew Goodman Ah...I thought you were misinformed, now I see you cannot even click on a link...I strongly suggest you reflect on why you feel the need to project everything in terms of `liberal saviors' or `my Christ come again as Trump'...reality is nuanced my friend...and Trevor is funny...

@Gareth Amery PS...an example does not exist of Trevor being funny, he only has a job because he checks boxes and is willing to blast anyone that the liberal saviors tell him to. Trevor is no better than a ventriloquist dummy.

@Drew Goodman It is topical humour, which is what the Daily Show has ALWAYS been about...anyway, here are a couple of links of Trevor being funny and even (shock, horror the narrative doesn't fit) un-PC without mentioning Trump: issofts.info/video/v-deo/hah_2KKHnK-nu3Y issofts.info/video/v-deo/b2KIsHysg824s5g I get that you are sensitive about Trump being the butt of jokes...get over it, can't you remember all the jokes about Obama etc...
Y is this being uploaded now ?
For some reason, I liked the original show much more than the social distancing show. The interviews felt more engaging and insightful, and call me crazy, but it also seems like Trevor was funnier? Maybe it's the inability to do crowd work. You also don't have those spur of the moment things like Trevor commenting on Maurice's arms.
I wish Trevor let Maurice to roast a little bit gameplay in TV Series, from another hand it won't be so funny to people who do not play chess...
I would be a chess grandmaster myself, if I´d be an Alien/Human hybrid and had a brain twice the size of a normal human.... to me that´s cheating
You want to take chess to the next level? Play GO.
Everyone should give the video a like just for the perfect handshake at the end
One of my things is to relearn how to play chess and checkers
Sorry. I just gotta say it: That guy's got a tall forehead. Like the Rigel 7 aliens in the Star Trek pilot.
That's a smooth interview by maurice
THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS KORKSARKER!!! MANDELA'S KORKSARKER GOTCHA!!!
Love the chess trash talking! "...I played chess with your sister last night". Hilarious!!!!!!!
I loved that series
That's a big noggin.
I credit Trevor for having GM Maurice Ashley on at all, even if it is rebroadcast here just as a reaction to the popularity of The Queen's Gambit. I wish that Trevor been more serious at the beginning instead of pandering to the audience for laughs, but Ashley handled it well. In the U.S. chess community, Ashley is well known as a commentator, specializing in bridging the gap between computer engine evaluations and real over-the-board play, and his background and title give him plenty of street cred (there's a great video of him out-hustling a street chess hustler in NYC). He's not a world-class competitor, but I think he's okay with that. He interviews world-class players and those interviews can be pretty fun.

@Jeremiah Bullfrog Yeah, the video title was a bit misleading, but I suppose they decided to use it to draw in fans of the series.
