TREVOR NOAH

Welcome to one of America’s guilty pleasures, Late Night comedy/news/media critic. I first saw Mr. Noah on a comedy circuit stand up show. His brand of humor is refreshing, his point of view as most comics is personal which gives us something we may not be familiar with as much.
Trevor was born in Soweto Township, South Africa to a Jewish African (Xhosa) mother and a Swiss-German father. At the time of his birth it was illegal for Blacks and whites to have relationships. This was in 1984 not unlike America in the 1930’s-1950’s were people fled the south because of persecution with racism.
There is a recent influx of African businesses who want to be a part of the world economy round table, who have the capitol and resources and are tired of the propaganda that is shown about Africa. They have expressed there is more to the continent then “those children with the flies on their faces” as Mr. Noah puts it, “ no matter how poor you are, you can swipe the flies from off your face!”
Getting back to The Daily Show, Trevor Noah will be a breath of fresh air that has not been corrupted by America’s media and society, knows what it is to be pre judged solely on looks, and birth place, but that his talent has gotten him where he is at today. Brings to mind two gentlemen of maybe similar, in part, stories; Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Pres. Barack Obama.
Good Luck, I wish you well, stay focused!
