Trevor Noah

Trevor Noah is one of the most successful comedians in the world and was the host of the Emmy® Award-winning “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central for seven years. Under Noah, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” broke free from the restraints of a 30-minute linear show, producing engaging social content, award-winning digital series, podcasts and more for its global audience. In January of 2024, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” won an Emmy for “Outstanding Talk Series.” Noah has also notably served as the Grammy Awards host for four years in a row.

Noah currently hosts a Spotify original weekly podcast titled "What Now? With Trevor Noah" where he is joined each episode by celebrities, thought leaders, athletes, and friends to chat about the contemporary topics on everyone’s minds. He brings the kinds of conversations that happen behind the scenes to light -- full of radical candor, authentic back-and-forths, and honest reactions, with Noah bringing to bear his classic, effortlessly playful and equally probing style.

Noah is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” and its young readers adaptation, released in 2019, titled “It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood,” which also debuted as a New York Times bestseller. The Audible edition of “Born a Crime,” performed by Noah, remains one of the top-selling, highest-rated, and most-commented-on Audible performances of all time. To date, “Born a Crime” has sold over three million copies across all formats.

Following the extraordinary success of “Born a Crime,” Noah's penned “Into the Uncut Grass,” released in October 2024. The book is a gorgeously illustrated and moving modern fable for readers of all ages about forgiveness, acceptance, and the secret to solidarity.

Noah's success has also spanned to sold out stand-up comedy shows across five continents. His “Off The Record” World Tour stopped in 28 cities across the US before heading to international destinations, and a set from “Off the Record” became available as his fourth Netflix stand-up special titled "Where Was I" in 2023. The comedy special scored two 2024 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special as well as Golden Globe and Critic’s Choice Association nominations; sold out Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl; enjoyed a 10-consecutive-show run at the Beacon Theatre; sold out three O2 shows in London; and set a record for the most tickets sold by a non-German comedian in history in Berlin.

Noah has written, produced, and starred in 12 comedy specials total, including Grammy and Emmy-nominated “I Wish You Would” for Netflix, which premiered globally in November 2022. True to form, Noah hilariously shares revelations about learning to speak German, modern communication, and his love for curry. His previous special for Netflix, “Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia” received an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Variety Show as well as a Grammy Award nomination for Best Comedy Album.

Noah's Emmy-nominated company, Day Zero Productions (DZP), a joint venture with Paramount Global, develops and produces entertaining and impactful content for a global audience. Current film projects include an adaptation of Noah’s autobiography with Lupita Nyong’o, a biopic centering on 8-year-old Nigerian chess champion Tanitoluwa Adewumi, and a reimagining of the classic Paramount feature "President’s Analyst."
