About Trevor Noah
Trevor Noah (born 20 February 1984) is a South African comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor, and television host. He was the host of The Daily Show, an American late-night talk show and satirical news program on Comedy Central, from 2015 to 2022, succeeding long-time host Jon Stewart. Noah has won various awards, including two Primetime Emmy Awards. He was named one of "The 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media" by The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 and 2018, and in 2018 Time magazine named him one of the hundred most influential people in the world.
Born in Johannesburg to a Swiss-German father, Robert, and a Xhosa mother, Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah, he was classified as Coloured under apartheid legislation at a time when his parents' interracial relationship was illegal, a fact he highlights in his autobiography Born a Crime. He began his schooling at Maryvale College and started his career in South Africa, hosting an educational programme Run the Adventure (2004-2006), the gossip show The Real Goboza (2007), and his own late-night show Tonight with Trevor Noah (2010-2011). His South African stand-up specials include The Daywalker (2009), Crazy Normal (2011), That's Racist (2012), and It's My Culture (2013).
Noah moved to the United States in 2011. In January 2012 he became the first South African stand-up comedian to appear on The Tonight Show, and in May 2013 the first to appear on Late Show with David Letterman. In 2014 he became Senior International Correspondent for The Daily Show, taking over as host in 2015. His autobiographical comedy book Born a Crime was published in 2016, and he hosted the Grammy Awards for six consecutive years from 2021 to 2026, as well as the 2022 White House Correspondents Dinner.
