    France is not about to let anyone rain on their parade after – spoiler alert – winning the World Cup last week.

    This includes Trevor Noah, who the French governments claims was being shady after the comedian joked that Africa, not France, won the World Cup.

    Here’s what sparked off the French rage, per a report by Times LIVE.

    Earlier this week, Noah uploaded artwork depicting a boat carrying refugees taking the World Cup to France to his Instagram:

    Did Noah stop there?

    Of course he didn’t.

    During a segment on The Daily Show, he made the joke about Africa being the actual winner of the World Cup, reports EWN:

    I get it, they have to say it’s the French team. But look at those guys. You don’t get that tan by hanging out in the south of France, my friends.

    A tame joke by Noah’s standards – remember the whole saga about his old Twitter jokes about Jewish people?

    Still, the French were not having it today or any other day:

    Noah’s comment provoked angry comments in France – where far-right politicians have long criticised the national soccer team for having too many black players – and a rebuke from the French ambassador to the United States, Gerard Araud.

    “By calling them an African team, it seems you are denying their Frenchness. This, even in jest, legitimises the ideology which claims whiteness as the only definition of being French,” Araud wrote in a letter posted on the French embassy’s Twitter account.

    On Wednesday, our boy went to town on Araud in a Between The Scenes segment on The Daily Show:

    Kudos to you for keeping it classy, T-No.
