“The Daily Show” investigated on Monday night’s episode how we got wall-to-wall coverage of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a new segment called “How The Fuck We Got Here.”

Host Trevor Noah played a montage of clips, mostly from CNN, showing networks’ preference to show even an empty Trump rally over other news lest they miss a moment of the frontrunner.

“Are you shitting me? You keep the camera on the curtains in case they missed Donald Trump’s entrance? Trust me, no one has missed a Donald Trump entrance. Ever. I can guarantee you. No one has ever been in a room with Donald Trump and said, ‘Oh Donald, I didn’t see you come in. I didn’t see that.’ He’s the opposite of a ninja,” Noah said.
