Related: About this forumTYT: Trevor Noah To Replace Jon Stewart On The Daily Show
"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses Trevor Noah taking over The Daily Show as Jon Stewart retires.
Back in February Jon Stewart, the host of Comedy Central show The Daily Show, announced that he would be departing the show sometime in the near future. Since that time it has been up to much debate over who would take Stewart's place, especially after that bastard John Oliver got his own show over at HBO. It has been announced that comedian Trevor Noah would be taking the helm. Trevs is known as making his debut on The Daily Show as a visitor from South Africa critiquing the state of America in comparison to African countries that had everything way nicer. The transition from Stewart to Trevs is expected to occur in the very near future."

I think The Daily Show made a good choice actually.

I've not been a regular viewer of the Daily Show for a few years, it's just too much of a macho boys club for me. This news certainly doesn't indicate any change to that macho atmosphere.
Trevor likes to make fat chick/jewish chick/white chick jokes on twitter. Here's some screenshots:
