Trevor Noah Family

Trevor Noah was born to Robert and Patricia Nombuyiselo, who are of mixed race. Noah’s father is of Swiss German ancestry and is a comedian. Patricia Nombuyiselo, his mother, is a Black Xhosa woman.

Under Apartheid, Noah’s parents’ interracial relationship was illegal at the time of his birth. As a result, the South African authorities imprisoned and fined his mother, and his father was forced to return to Switzerland. Nomalizo Frances Noah, the star’s maternal grandmother, was responsible for his upbringing.

Noah’s mother married Ngisaveni Abel Shingange in 1992, and the couple produced two kids, Andrew and Isaac. Shingange violently beat Trevor and his mother, and the couple separated in 1996.

Shingange shot her in the leg and through the back of the head in 2009 after she became engaged to Sfiso Khoza; she survived because the bullet traveled through her skull, avoiding the brain and all major nerves and blood arteries, and exiting with little damage to her nostril.

Shingange threatened Noah’s life when Noah questioned him over the phone about the incident, causing Noah to flee Johannesburg for Los Angeles. Shingange was convicted of attempted murder in 2011 and sentenced to three years of probation the following year.

The Daily Show

The Daily Show is a late-night conversation and news parody show on American television. The half-hour show first aired on July 21, 1996. It airs on Comedy Central every Monday through Thursday. The Daily Show, which bills itself as a “fake news” program, draws its comedy and satire from current events, political figures, and media companies, and frequently employs self-referential humor.

Noah was announced as the successor to Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show on March 30, 2015, by Comedy Central; his stint began on September 28, 2015. Craig Kilborn was the first to host it, and he did so until December 17, 1998. From January 11, 1999, through August 6, 2015, Jon Stewart took over as host, focusing the show more on political and information satire.

From 1999 through 2015, the show was known as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and since 2015, it has been known as The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Counting all three tenures, The Daily Show is Comedy Central’s longest-running program, with 24 Primetime Emmy Awards.

Noah’s first film earned rave reviews. “Mr. Noah’s premiere evolved into mostly successful, it became also because of the operating system they show writing running beneath the surface,” The New York Times’ James Poniewozik said of Noah and the show’s writers. Noah is “fascinating and composed =nearly inevitably low-key as compared to the constantly antic and shocked Stewart,” according to Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times. Noah’s success on the program has led to three Comedy Central and Netflix stand-up specials.
