Big news today, as Comedy Central announced that South African stand-up comedian Trevor Noah will be succeeding Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show. I have really no reaction to this, because I'm not at all familiar with this guy. Apparently he's only made three appearances as contributor to TDS since December, so I'm kind of surprised they chose this much of an unknown. And presumably someone with a lot less interest and/or knowledge of the American political/media system, so my guess is we can expect The Daily Show to now be completely different than Stewart's was (I guess that's not a bad thing, since it will invite less comparison).
Here's his first appearance back in December. What do you guys think?
