The inaugural show fronted by Trevor will debut in the USA on 28 September before airing across Africa on Tuesday 29 September on Comedy Central (premiere: 21:00 CAT; repeats @ 23:30 CAT; and 07:05 CAT the following morning), less than 24 hours after the US debut. “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” will air Monday to Fridays across Africa on Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122).
Commented Evert van der Veer, Head of Comedy Central, Africa, “Trevor Noah’s inauguration as The Daily Show host is going to be one of the biggest moments in SA TV history, with the whole nation making a date to see this huge local talent make his debut as the host of the ‘Best F***ing News Team Ever”.
