Noah worked as an actor, presenter, and comedian in South Africa. He appeared in television roles on the South African Broadcasting Corporation and was the runner-up in the fourth season of Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.[1] From 2010 to 2011, he hosted the late-night show Tonight with Trevor Noah.[2] During this time his stand-up comedy became famous in South Africa and got him invited to American and British television shows.
In December 2014, Noah appeared as a contributor on the American satirical news show The Daily Show. He took over from Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show on 28 September, 2015.[3] His hosting style has more pop culture references and comic impersonations than Stewart’s. As a foreign observer, he comments humorously on American politics and race relations.
