"You can’t say there’s nothing funny about it. As a comedian, I’m sure there is something funny about it," adds Noah.

The award-winning comedian and TV host adds that Kirk was shot while defending guns.

"Do you understand how I’m not even writing that as a joke? As a human, you have to admit that it is an incongruous, funny thing that happens," he says.

South African-born businessman Elon Musk reacted to Noah's jokes about Charlie Kirk's death on his X account on Friday, 10 October 2025.

The billionaire businessman states on his X account that Noah hasn't realised he stopped being funny.

"The guy actually has talent, but needs to get the woke virus out of his brain," says Musk.

'I am a conservative Charlie Kirk supporter. Though I think Trevor is unfunny and this clip is eye-rolling at best, comedians bear the responsibility of breaking the ice around sensitive topics."

@aburk203 commented:

"I don't know who owes him a favor to keep him in Hollywood; he is one of the few people who is less talented and less funny than Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel."

@stianchrister reacted:

"As an appreciator and defender of stand-up comedy, I have to agree with him that there has to be something funny in there. The fact that Charlie Kirk was shot while discussing gun rights? Certainly ironic. But irony isn't always funny. I don't think laughs will be found in the murder itself—it was a grotesque and tragic event. Comedy might be found in the circumstances, hidden in the details."
