Stewart hosted the show for over 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to hire Noah was a controversial one, given that he is a foreigner. Many said the job should have gone to a woman, and an American.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening to the show, Noah addressed the topic with some punchy lines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why isn&#8217;t a woman hosting the show, because surely it&#8217;s about time. It turns out that they did ask women to host and the women turned it down because they had better things to do, and clearly knew something I didn&#8217;t,&#8221; said Noah.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Also, why didn&#8217;t they get an American to host?&#8221; Noah continued. &#8220;Again, Comedy Central tried and those people also declined. So once more a job Americans rejected is now being done by an immigrant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>South Africans can watch Noah\u2019s first episode on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central (DSTV channel 122) on Tuesday 29 September at 21:00.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch some of the Noah magic in the clip below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0OGZMfVQROY\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on Trevor Noah<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to South Africans that have made it big abroad\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/general\/84215\/south-africans-that-have-made-it-big-abroad\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">South Africans that have made it big abroad<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/broadcasting\/140052-where-and-when-you-can-watch-trevor-noah-on-the-daily-show.html\">Where and when you can watch Trevor Noah on The Daily Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/general\/139976-trevor-noah-from-cell-c-ceo-to-the-host-of-the-daily-show.html\">Trevor Noah \u2013 From Cell C CEO to the host of The Daily Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Daily Show with Trevor Noah premiered on Comedy Central on 28 September, replacing the iconic The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":84223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10554,26,9691],"class_list":["post-99622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trending","tag-daily-show","tag-headline","tag-trevor-noah"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99622"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99634,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99622\/revisions\/99634"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
