Comedy Central(NEW YORK) — Comedy Central has picked the day Trevor Noah will take over The Daily Show — September 28.
The announcement comes in a brief video released Thursday, in which Noah apparently sneaks onto the Daily Show set and behind the desk.
“Welcome to the Daily Show!” he repeats, practicing his opening, as well as some different poses, including a few karate moves and a sexy pose with his rear facing the camera.
At one point, Noah describes his show as “new and sexy.” That’s about the time outgoing host Jon Stewart appears behind him, standing silently until Noah turns around and sees him. “Oh sh**!” Noah exclaims, and hustles away.
Stewart will say goodbye to The Daily Show August 6.
South African-born Noah, 31, first appeared on The Daily Show last December in a segment titled “Spot the Africa,” during which he highlighted African stereotypes by comparing America to African nations, including Noah’s home country. Largely unknown in America outside of his Comedy Central appearances, Noah is a popular stand-up comic in Europe.
