I Wish You Would, Trevor Noah’s third stand-up special, contains some funny
moments. It shines in places but falls flat in others. When Noah talked

schadenfreude, a German term that denotes taking pleasure in the suffering
of others. Noah explains to the audience why countries that had been
subject to a monarch for more than a century would rejoice at her passing.
