Trevor Noah on Race, Comedy and the Daily Show

It's just been announced that the South African comedian Trevor Noah is to become the new host of the American satirical TV programme The Daily Show. He's taking over from long-serving presenter Jon Stewart on the show which is syndicated around the world. 31-year-old Trevor grew up in Soweto, the son of a black South African woman and a white father from Switzerland. Observations on race and his mixed ethnicity are a big theme in his comedy. He spoke to our reporter Matt Nelson earlier this year.
