Tomi Lahren gained attention for her views on Colin Kaepernick with a Facebook video in August, which has now racked up 66 million views. The conservative political commentator has several other videos that have gone viral, making her an internet star of sorts.

"The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah invited her to speak on the Comedy Central program and she agreed to do so. The two hosts, with completely opposing viewpoints, debated about several topics on Wednesday night's show, and eventually Kaepernick came up.
