Trevor Noah, who just joined “The Daily Show,” gets a huge promotion.
He’s 31-years old, born in South Africa, and for three episodes has been The Daily Show’s Senior International Correspondent. Soon, Trevor Noah will have a new title: Daily Show host. He is a former radio host and actor, who is a stand up comic currently on tour in the Middle East. Noah was born to a black South African mother and a white, Swiss-German father – whose relationship was illegal during Apartheid – helping to inform his insightful observations about race.Â
Noah also just retweeted this:
And here’s a tweet from December:
“You don’t believe it for the first few hours,†Noah told The New York Times. “You need a stiff drink, and then unfortunately you’re in a place where you can’t really get alcohol.â€
“I’m thrilled for the show and for Trevor,†Mr. Stewart said in a statement. “He’s a tremendous comic and talent that we’ve loved working with.†Mr. Stewart added that he “may rejoin as a correspondent just to be a part of it!!!â€
