Never get tired of listening to this gent, his calmness and humility in spite all the successes, he's a force.

me too, great show

[@0rangemuffin]

Greetings from the US! I remember being pretty shocked when Trevor showed up on the Daily Show. I was like "why are they hiring this random guy from another country?" Now I understand what a gift John Stewart was giving us. Trevor is so wise and humble and we are blessed to have been able to watch him so often for 8 years. I would also be proud if Trevor was from our country! I can't wait to see what Trevor will do next!

[@janetbalbour369]

Trevor you are a gift to the world. I love your comedy and the way you cleverly navigate each space you are in. You remain true to yourself.

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

great mother = great man!

[@lotusphoenix8]

I will never ever get tired of watching anything related to him. Thanks to that professor for celebrating Trevor academically, that must have unlocked a new level of humility in Trevor. ❤

[@2006M1kah]

These callers sound exactly like what Trevor does when he imitates South African accents on his stand up. It’s lovely having him here.

I am about as opposite of Trevor that you can be. I'm a 65 year old white woman from Houston Texas and Trevor has made a profound impact on me in so many ways. Every time I hear or see or read about him I admire and respect him more. Thank you Trevor for being you and teaching me new things every day. ❤

[@CingwaneElihle]

Trevor is sooo humble man 🥺🫠♥️♥️

[@daniellekabad1865]

Trevor is a ray of light💡Brilliant in every way❤

[@SmoothSilk]

Never heard of 702, until I saw Trevor Noah on here. I clicked, Trevor, we Africans are so proud of you, loved you on The Daily Show, and will follow you anywhere you go. Hopefully I'd get to see one of your shows when you are in Miami or maybe The Bahamas. Best wishes always - a Nigerian in the diaspora

[@vat81]

This host is so star struck. The way he looks at Trevor😍😍😍

[@loantran-thanh7795]

I’m French and I miss sooooo much his daily show. Even today, I sent a link of one of his shows to a depressed friend of mine in France, to put back a smile on his face , and it did the trick. Thank you Trevor . Tu es le meilleur!

[@EvelineStDenis]

He is so eloquent. I love listening to him on any topic. He is super smart yet humble

[@dominique___1980]

American here. I remember when Jon Stewart announced you as the next host of The Daily Show. I had never heard of you. I took a deep dive down the internet to see who you were. And I fell in love with you before you landed in NYC. And you never let me down. Every day you got better and better and better. And you still do. I was super sad when you left The Daily Show. But now following you online gives me more joy. I now get why you left. Well done, mate. You've made not only South Africa proud, but also the USA and the entire world.

[@catrinajamello2103]

Trevor is a one in billion talent, appreciate how he stays real and shares deep perspective. Who does impressions this relatable?

his english SA accent is sooo accurate it kills me everytime. The young guys name is always "Justin" LOL

He is truly our modern day SA mascot :)

[@inesspanni]

Absolutely on my favorite human list!!!!!!!! There's nothing like listening to the brain and heart of Trevor Noah! ❤❤❤❤

[@taram9866]

I absolutely love Trevor's sense of humor. I admire how he can turn the perception of something terrible into how we as people need to remember that we take for granted our own power to create change. Trevor has not only contributed so much to SA but also the US. Thank you, Trevor Noah.

Its people like Trevor that make me realize that educating yourself and researching is very important before any assumptions. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for pushing the boundaries.

It’s so great that we have Trevor as a South African role-mode who consistently displays integrity & wholesome values. Thank you for being that for all of us & encouraging others to follow suit❤

[@EbagamAfrica]

Excellent Trevor. Many people who say SA is bad have never traveled, especially to Europe and USA. SA is better than most European countries.

[@kingkhaya1115]

I agree 100% with you people are ignorant

[@b.africa1348]

Listening to this conversation now, it actually became clear just how challenging taking over the daily show must have been/felt for Trevor. I always looked at it/him from the perspective of the supportive fellow South African that I never had to assume perhaps some of the hostility that Americans and whoever else may have felt. He spent 8 year proving himself and making the world fall as inlove with him as we South Africans are and I really think he is so strong and brave for committing to the work, himself and his team.

[@Etiennemugisha]

I named my son after Trevor, who serves as my constant source of inspiration. I want to express my gratitude to Trevor for his remarkable talent and the positive impact he has had on my life.

[@letebeleitunape]

He is very humble, he doesn't want to take the credit alone....great guy

[@serasien]

I love the fact that people just call to congratulate him for his success. That is not a current thing in many countries. Normally people want the spotlight or something from the person. Love the vibe.

[@megansaunders7244]

Yes, and he appreciates it so genuinely.

Shine on SA , you have all you need to rise above any form of negativity.
