Trevor Noah, who went from being an unknown quantity to American TV viewers to a smart, satirical voice on Comedy Central, signed off from “The Daily Show” for the final time Thursday.
Noah was reflective and subdued in front of a live audience at the studio on Manhattan’s West Side where the show is taped, often speaking at length about a seven-year sojourn that began when Jon Stewart handed over the host chair of the influential comedy talk show.
The comedian was not widely known in the U.S. Being Black and not from the U.S. — or the U.K. — made him a rarity in late-night TV. Noah noted how when he started hosting after Stewart’s wildly successful 17-year run, Comedy Central was unable to fill the seats in the studio audience. “Who do you think shaped me, nourished me and formed me from my mom, my gram, my aunt — all these Black women in my life. But then in America as well — I always tell people if you truly want to learn about America, talk to Black women. ... Black women can’t afford to f — around and find out. Black people understand how hard it is when things go bad, Black people know that it gets worse for them.”Noah give each of “The Daily Show” correspondents — Roy Wood, Jr.
As a surprise “Moment of Zen” close, producers arranged for the audience to stand and serenade Noah with “You’ll Never Walk Alone” — re-creating a ritual for Liverpool FC players when they leave the pitch for a final time. .
