The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, which is why American TikToker, Elyse Cizek reached out to Trevor Noah’s mother in an attempt to cook her way to the comedian’s heart.
Elyse, a poet, musician, model and writer, from Los Angeles has a huge crush on Trevor Noah and asked the funnyman’s mother to help her cook pap and mogodu to win him over.
Her brave declaration to bag the South African-born comedian has received support from many locals who offered Elyse advice on where to source the correct ingredients and tips on how to cook the popular dish.
“Molo mom, I know this is a bold move and it probably won’t work but I was hoping you could teach me how to cook pap and mogodu. I can use any help that I can get to cook my way to your son’s heart.”
Elyse’s now viral video has been shared by thousands of South Africans who have tagged both the popular personality and The Daily Show.
A few users have even offered to send Elyse the correct maize meal because the TikToker bought “instant pap which is trash.”
Since posting her video, Elyse says she hasn’t received a response from Trevor Noah but she’s not giving up because she truly believes they would be perfect for each other.
Trevor Noah is reportedly single after parting ways with his long-term girlfriend Minka Kelly.
