Read our privacy policy After a 16 year tenure on The Daily Show, the much loved Jon Stewart stepped down as host on 6 August, leaving a huge hole in the late-night TV schedule. “Growing up in the dusty streets of South Africa I never dreamed I would one day have two things: an indoor toilet and a job as host of the daily show. Now it feels like the family has a new Step-Dad, and he’s black which is not ideal.” Jon Stewart was more than just a late-night host, he was often our voice, our refuge and, in many ways, our political Dad &#13; <p>Trevor Noah</p>&#13; He then spoke about why Comedy Central chose neither a woman nor an American to host the show, saying the channel did ask but no-one accepted the job offer. Popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson congratulated Noah’s new opening credits for showing the Earth rotating in the right direction The Washington Post were full of praise for the new host, saying “The Daily Show is back, with its essential wit and irreverence intact.” What do you think of his debut?
