Watch theDaily Show with Trevor Noahpromo after the jump.
Comedy Central unveiled the firstDaily Show with Trevor Noahpromo onYouTube.
By the sounds of it, Comedy Central’s putting a lot into the new series. Kanye West doesn’t come cheap. Speaking of which… wasn’t there another recent TV spot heavily featuring “Power”? What was that one for again?
Oh, right. Well, let’s just hope the song proves more helpful for Trevor Noah than it did Reed Richards.
The teaser doesn’t offer much of a clue as to what we can expect from Noah’s reign as the newDaily Showhost. It’s more just a reminder thatThe Daily Showis continuing onward with a new host who happens to have a killer smile and a nice butt. Did you notice the butt? They really want you to notice the butt.
While severalDaily Showregulars left the show in advance of Stewart’s departure, the remaining correspondents and contributors (Jessica Williams,Jordan Klepper,Hasan Minhaj,Al Madrigal,Aasif Mandvi,Lewis Black,Kristen Schaal, andJohn Hodgman) will stick around for Noah’s tenure.
For those who still aren’t quite sure what to make of Noah, here’s an officially Comedy Central-approved rundown of the young host:
Noah joined The Daily Show in 2014 as a contributor. He made his U.S. television debut in 2012 on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and has also appeared on “Late Show with David Letterman,” becoming the first South African stand-up comedian to appear on either late-night show. Noah has hosted numerous television shows, including his own late-night talk show in his native country, “Tonight with Trevor Noah.”
He was featured on the October 2014 cover of GQ South Africa and has been profiled in Rolling Stone, Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal, and by CNN and NPR’s Talk of the Nation, among others. He continues to tour all over the world and has performed in front of sold-out crowds at the Hammersmith Apollo in London and the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
