Cape Town – Award-winning comedian Trevor Noah, who hosts the international TV show The Daily Show, celebrated turning 38 over the past weekend in his home ground, South Africa.

The Born A Crime author invited close friends and family to an intimate private celebration of reaching yet another milestone in a “wordle” themed birthday party.

The event included a wordle cake and wordle inspired plastic cups, as a Johannesburg based packaging company shared on Twitter that they were commissioned with the task of creating the wordle cups.

“We did cups for Trevor Noah’s birthday weekend,” tweeted the company.

According to TimesLive, Trevor had an episode on The Daily Show in early January, where he revealed that he was a big fan of the Wordle game.

His mascots were, as always, present at the celebrations – radio personalities Anele Mdoda and Sizwe Dlhomo, communications mogul Xolisa Dyeshana, businessman Lekau Sehoana, and author Khaya Dlanga.
