SOUTH AFRICA で′ e00 ′Ⅳ 00 ぬ Seriouslyfunny By a 取 a Dockterman Trevor Noah wasn't supposed t0 be here. Before the 33-year-01d South African comedian t00k over host- ing The Daily Show ⅲ 2015 , the list ofobvious suc- cessors tO Jon Stewart included alumni Ofthe shOW Samantha Bee, Stephen C01bert and J0hn Oliver as well as S 町 d Night Live veterans Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Chris Rock. "lt was ridiculous. There was no way I expected tO get it,: ” Noah recalls, sit- ting ⅲ an Offce above The Daily Sh0W's studio, now his studio, on the edge 0f midtown Manhattan. And yet Comedy Central made the risky choice tO install a host little known in America but famous around the world in hopes ofreaching young people, especially international young people. His debut wasn't exactly smooth for an audience used tO 16 years Of Stewart. "When I started, there was a 10t Of criticism around me not being angry. But what was there tO be angry about? Progre s s was b eing made. Unemployment was dropping ・ Gay people were getting marriage equality. I refuse t0 be a part of an outrage machine; ” Noah says, pausing. "And then Donald Trump was elected. ln the months since, Comedy Central's bet on finding a more global audience for The D Show has begun t0 pay 0 圧 Noah's viewership has yet t0 reach that Of Stewart's last season, but the network says international viewership has risen drastically since Noah's debut. (The show is now watched in 176 countries, up from around 70 before. ) "Donald Trump has made everyone interested ⅲ everything, everywhere. He's a worldwide phenomenon, says Noah. "And with everything that's going on—the Muslim ban, threats tO women's rights, the environment—l feel like I can finally say the show has a purpose. ” NOAH WAS BORN in Johannesburg, the son Of a white Swiss father and a black South African mother, during apartheid, when it was illegal for mixed-race couples tO procreate. HiS parents never married. The comedian writes in hiS memoir, Born 0 Crime, that he spent much 0f his youth playing alone indoors so that the police wouldn't spot him and take him away. Noah, whose Netflix stand-up special Afraid 可市 e D た premiered Feb. 21 , jokes that on family outings his father would have tO walk across the street and wave at him "like a pedophile. ” Many comedians make light oftragedy. Still, Noah's case is extreme: Noah, his brother and his mother once leaped from a moving minibus after the driver intimated he would kill them over their 24 TIME March 13 , 2017 'There as alotof criticism around me not being angry. But what 田 as there tO be angry about?.. And then Donald Trump 田 as elected. ' ・—TREVOR NOAH ethnicity. When Noah was in his 20S , his stepfather shot his mother in the head. She miraculously survived and, when she woke from surgery, told Noah not tO cry because he was now the best- looking one ⅲ the family. "I inherited a sense 0f humor from my mom, the ability to laugh in the face of danger,: ” says Noah. "MY friends say t0 me, 'I hope l'm never kidnapped with you, because you'll probably get us killed by making fun ofthe kidnapper,' which is true. ” By his 20S , Noah was one 0fthe first popular comedians in South Africa tO have bOth white and black fans. He'd come up selling illegally copied CDs in high school and deejaying parties before finding his way int0 radio and stand-up. He hosted a South African late-night show in the 2010S. He toured the world as a comedian, sometimes taking aim at America from an outsider's perspective, eventually getting noticed by Stewart. Ultimately he earned one Ofthe most coveted perches on U. S. television. lfhe still considers himselfa "citizen ofthe world' ” it's less a reflection ofhis background than ofhis age. "Younger people are connected by the lnternet, and that means we're communicating with people from halfway around the world. lt means we're not brainwashed tO think every immigrant is a bad person, because we can talk tO them; ” he says. "You look at global warming—ofcourse 01d people don't care about the planet because they're not going tO be here for the consequences. Noah points out millennials have grown up cre- ating change by swiping on the ir phones. lt t00k Trump's getting elected tO drive them intO the streets and protest. He maintains that they will be as much a force for change as the generations before. "People wh0 say millennials are the 'me, me, me' generation—l think an Older generation has a 'me, me, attitude When it comes tO issues like the envlron- ment. The Older generation tries tO maintain the sta- tus quo, and the younger generatio n pushe s ahead. ” Trump is the most stark example Of that status quo. lt may seem impossible for someone like Noah to identify with Trump. Even the way they speak in interviews is radically different: Noah in eloquent metaphors, Trump in defiant simplicity. And after all, lambasting Trump's contradictions gave Noah's Da Show badly needed definition. But Noah says he does relate to the President— as a performer. "When I watch him, I see a comedian. I see somebody WhO loves an audience. Someone wh0 likes t0 be liked; ” says Noah. "You see the standing ovation in front ofyou, and yet the newspapers are writing that you're not doing well. And the performer's mind goes, This is a world that's clearly lying because l'm doing well, and it is against me. ” lt's a feeling that Noah knows well. Which may be why The Daily Show feels so relevant now.
