Trevor Noah set to replace Jon Stewart on ‘Daily Show’
New York: Trevor Noah, a 31-year-old comedian from South Africa who has contributed to “The Daily Show” a handful of times during the past year, will become Jon Stewart’s replacement as host, Comedy Central announced on Monday. Noah has an international presence, and hosted a late-night talk show in South Africa, “Tonight with Trevor Noah.” He will join Larry Wilmore, a writer-comedian who replaced Stephen Colbert in January in the half-hour slot following “The Daily Show.” When Noah takes over, Comedy Central will have completely remade the one-hour comedy block that gave the network critical acclaim and, arguably, its identity. “I’m sure he’ll turn it into his own thing,” said South African comedian Loyiso Gola, who now also hosts an International Emmy-nominated local news satire show. Noah, who has appeared on Jay Leno and David Letterman, was the subject of a documentary film by David Paul Meyer, “You Laugh But It’s True,” which followed his career in post-apartheid South Africa.
