French comedian Gad Elmaleh talks about performing in different languages and explains why he wanted to bring his stand-up to America.

A son of North Africa, a star of French comedy in France, Montreal and throughout the francophonie, Elmaleh is a man for whom comedy is a passport. Proud to be Moroccan, Gad Elmaleh proves once again that he is proud of his roots. As part of the promotion of his show in the United States, one week after his visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers, the comedian was the guest of the January 25 Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

In this program, Gad Elmaleh retraces his Moroccan origins. "I come from North Africa, specifically Morocco. The Americans do not really know my country. They are not sure where to place it," he says to the moderator. "When I say" Morocco ", they hear Monaco", the artist has fun.

In November 2015, on the occasion of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Green March, the comedian who grew up in Casablanca, had exchanged their profile picture by another custom background colors of the national flag, raising more than 112.000 likes and receiving praise from thousands of Moroccans.
