Johannesburg – One of the biggest success stories of 2015 was the appointment of local comedian, Trevor Noah as the new host of the prestigious latenight show, The Daily Show.
It was a proud moment to be South African, and Trevor’s celeb friends were there every step of the way to support him.
Trevor’s path to the hot seat started late last year when the comedian scored a gig as a correspondent on the show.
I still can't believe @TrevorNoah's going to work on the Daily Show! That show is my favourite... He's okay too... ??
