Noah takes over ‘Daily Show’
Don’t miss
“The Daily Show With Trevor Noah”: Late-night television’s dramatic makeover continues as Noah, a relatively unknown comedian from South Africa, slips into the fake-news anchor chair. He takes over for Jon Stewart, a beloved icon who held the job for 16 years – not that there’s a lot of pressure on him or anything. 11 p.m. Monday, Comedy Central.
