A film team accompanied Trevor Noah and Roger Federer as they went on “the ride of a lifetime” in Switzerland. The comedian and former professional tennis player, who are both half-South African and half-Swiss, joined forces with Switzerland Tourism and the world’s largest privately-owned tour portfolio, TTC Tour Brands, for a new campaign that aims to encourage tourists from all over the world to visit the European nation.
In a 3-minute, 45-second video, Noah and Federer take a train across the stunning Swiss Alps, but not without some difficulties. The two must either produce or pay for a ticket when they board the incorrect train while getting ready for the filming. Noah tries to exploit his famous power by informing the official that he is a “professional comedian worldwide” without having a ticket or any money. Fortunately, a kind elderly woman who is reportedly “a big fan” saves the pair.
