Trevor Noah Daily Show Start Date Announced Via Twitter and YouTube
It’s official! Trevor Noah will start as the new host of The Daily Show on September 28th.
Comedy Central announced Noah’s start date via their Twitter account, and also gave us a little peek of what Trevor’s been doing at that desk when he thinks nobody is looking. Will the new show be “new and sexy”?
Noah joined The Daily Show team as a contributor in December 2014 along with Hasan Minhaj and was announced as the new host in March, soon after Stewart shocked his audience with the announcement that he would be leaving the show.
Back in April, We asked Daily Show contributor Hasan Minhaj how he thinks the show will change under the Noah regime. “I think one thing will definitely happen is the same thing Oliver brought to his show. That now the lense is from the outside in rather than from the inside out,” he told us. “What I mean by that is that for the longest time, shows were helmed by domestic voices, so this is an American’s perspective on the world. And now, it’s like ‘Hey, this is the world’s perspective on America.’ And I don’t know how America is going to feel about that, but I’m really excited and I think that dialog is necessary. Because the rest of the world always has to reckon with our influence; our movies, our culture, our music, our whatever. They always have to kind of have theirs, and absorb. Now I think that those things are going to be a two way street. So I think that’s a really really good thing.”
Jon Stewart’s last episode airs on August 6th giving almost two months for Daily Show fans to grieve before Noah takes over.
