Cape Town – South African-born comedian Trevor Noah has opened up about the difficulties he encountered when he took over as host of The Daily Show in 2015.
In a wide-ranging interview with 60 minutes host Lesley Stahl on CBS, Trevor shared many of his experiences – from his career to his personal life.
Asked how it was when he took over The Daily Show from Jon Stewart, and whether it was a good decision, Trevor answered:
“Terrible initially… Oh, I mean everybody hated me. People didn’t even know me and they hated the idea of me.”
