New The Daily Show Host Announced

Jon Stewart’s decision to move on from The Daily Show made many fans very sad. Once they got over the initial shock the inevitable question popped up in everybody’s mind: who is going to replace Jon Stewart? Granted that those are some very big shoes to fill but a relatively new cast member has been entrusted with that responsibility.

Earlier today the new The Daily Show host was finally confirmed. It’s Trevor Noah. People who were making lists of potential replacements for Jon Stewart probably wouldn’t have placed him very high in those lists.

That’s because Noah joined the show very recently and filed his first segment in December 2014. Since then he has filed just a couple more so he isn’t a household name in the United States just yet.

This obviously doesn’t mean that Noah won’t be able to do the job. The team obviously saw something in him which is why they decided that he will be the one replacing Jon Stewart. Noah knows that the bar has already been set pretty high:

It’s a long way to go before The Daily Show with Trevor Noah finally airs and we find out if Noah is up to the task or not. Fans of the show will anxiously be waiting to see how he carries the torch handed down by the inimitable Jon Stewart.
