Meet The Man Who is Replacing Jon Stewart as Host of ‘The Daily Show’

Comedy Central has announced who will be taking over for Jon Stewart as host of 'The Daily Show'. 

Trevor Noah, a new comer to 'The Daily Show' team, will be taking Jon Stewart's spot as host when Stewart leaves later this year.

Comedy Central said in statement, as reported by The New York Post:

Trevor Noah is an enormous talent. He has an insightful and unique point of view, and most importantly, is wickedly funny. For the next host of ‘The Daily Show,’ we set out to find a fresh voice who can speak to our audience with a keen take on the events of the day, and we found that in Trevor. He has a huge international following and is poised to explode here in America, and we are thrilled to have him join Comedy Central.

Not really well known in the U.S, the South African-born Noah, 31, has appeared on “The Daily Show” just three times since joining the late-night satire in December as a contributor.

He hosted a Late Night show in his native country. He was the first South-African guest to appear on Letterman.
