Trevor Noah has not only put South Africa on the map comedy-wise, but him hosting at The Daily Show will have given African comedy a big spark.

For the next 3 years and potentially longer, Comedy Central will be hosting an international comedy festival, simply called The Comedy Central International Comedy Festival. Its inaugural run will take place very soon in Johannesburg, South Africa which will be the perfect place to stage a homecoming for the network’s newest franchise star, Trevor Noah.

With Comedy Central’s banner flying at the festival, the likes of Jeff Ross, Hannibal Buress, and more will be on the same stages as some of African comedy’s rising stars.

Thousands upon thousands are expected to be in attendance and if that does indeed happen, this festival will be in the league with JFL Montreal and The Melbourne International Comedy Festival i.e. the biggest comedy festivals in the world.

Lewis Black is the most senior contributor at The Daily Show with the Back in Black segment stretching longer than Jon Stewart’s run as host.

Part of the reason for his longevity of the show and that the collective rage and frustration is so consistently, hilariously pitch perfect and his first Back in Black on the Trevor Noah hosted Daily Show is no different.

It’s back to work for The Daily Show as no shortage of nonsensical BS has taken place and/or been reported poorly in the media in the hiatus between Jon Stewart leaving and Trevor Noah taking over last night.

Noah took a nice moment to express his gratitude for this gig, thanking Jon, and then, quickly went back to business. It looks as though Trevor should grow in just fine behind The Daily Show desk.

Yes. There was a time where not only absolute segregation was enforced in South Africa, but free speech, including comedy, was also illegal.

The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee had Jerry Seinfeld taking internationally renowned comedian and the new host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, around NYC and Brooklyn while learning about what comedy in a place where it was illegal to freely express yourself for a long time.

As a result, Trevor has a killer Nelson Mandela impression among his several great impressions and a fresh comedic perspective on race that will serve him well when taking over The Daily Show.

Watch it all here.
