Trevor Noah, welcome to America, where even when you're suffering from a life-threatening condition, filling out forms in the waiting room can be most painful part of the experience. This week, The Daily Show host had an emergency appendectomy that caused him to miss Wednesday night's episode. After a day of surgery, he returned with an amazing story from the front lines of the nation's healthcare system.

"I'm back from the world's shortest vacation," Noah begins. "I don't know if emergency room is the right term ... because they make you wait."

Thus begins a crazy story of nagging nurses, forms, murderous Daily Show correspondents, and figuring out payment.
