First ‘Daily Show With Trevor Noah’ Promo: “Same Chair, Different A**”

Comedy Central unveiled the first Daily Show with Trevor Noah promo on YouTube.
Oh, right. Well, let’s just hope the song proves more helpful for Trevor Noah than it did Reed Richards.
The teaser doesn’t offer much of a clue as to what we can expect from Noah’s reign as the new Daily Show host. It’s more just a reminder that The Daily Show is continuing onward with a new host who happens to have a killer smile and a nice butt. Did you notice the butt? They really want you to notice the butt.
While several Daily Show regulars left the show in advance of Stewart’s departure, the remaining correspondents and contributors (Jessica Williams, Jordan Klepper, Hasan Minhaj, Al Madrigal, Aasif Mandvi, Lewis Black, Kristen Schaal, and John Hodgman) will stick around for Noah’s tenure.
For those who still aren’t quite sure what to make of Noah, here’s an officially Comedy Central-approved rundown of the young host:
He was featured on the October 2014 cover of GQ South Africa and has been profiled in Rolling Stone, Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal, and by CNN and NPR’s Talk of the Nation, among others. He continues to tour all over the world and has performed in front of sold-out crowds at the Hammersmith Apollo in London and the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
Noah joined The Daily Show in 2014 as a contributor. He made his U.S. television debut in 2012 on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and has also appeared on “Late Show with David Letterman,” becoming the first South African stand-up comedian to appear on either late-night show. Noah has hosted numerous television shows, including his own late-night talk show in his native country, “Tonight with Trevor Noah.”
Here’s his first-ever appearance as a contributor under Stewart:
And here he is giving that old chair a spin:
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah premieres September 28.
