Stepping into the giant shoes vacated by Jon Stewart one of America’s best loved Television satirists and comedians is going to be one of the very toughest acts to do. The Host of Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show’ since 1999 picking up Primetime Emmy Awards for 10 consecutive years, he has become of the most astute and funniest political commentators on television, and even better still, the bane of right-wing Fox TV’s life.
President Barack Obama, who made an unprecedented seven appearances on ‘The Daily Show’ over the years told Stewart that he was going to forbid him to go “I’m going to issue an executive order: Jon Stewart cannot leave the show!” The President knows that o election campaign or any political antics will ever see the same without seeing Stewart just say out loud what most of us do not even dare to think.
The Show’s Producers announcement of who would be Stewart’s replacement took everybody by complete surprise. They plumped for Trevor Noah a 31 year-old biracial comedian from South Africa, a total unknown in American Television, who has just made three appearances on The Daily Show to date. Noah is a very-laid back charismatic talented performer who will no doubt bring his own brand of humor to the Show. He may not have been an obvious choice but when you watch his routines from his own Stand Up Comedy Shows you can easily see why they went out on a limb and gave him the job.
This first clip covers the events of a trip to Zambia in his IT’S MY CULTURE comedy special when he was advised by his local guide ‘Don’t Be Gay!’
The second video will also soon become a personal favorite of queerguru was recorded on ‘The John Bishop Show’ in the U.K. and it is an hilarious routine about their attitude to Immigration after reluctantly relinquishing their role invading countries to form the British Commonwealth.
Noah is slated to host his first Daily Show on September 28th. We are going to sorely miss Jon Stewart, but think that his legacy will hopefully be in a safe pair of hands
