Historic! South Africa’s Trevor Noah wins an Emmy award

South African comedian Trevor Noah has secured an Emmy award in the outstanding talk series category for his show, The Daily Show.

This historic win establishes Noah as the first African and first black individual to receive an Emmy in the outstanding talk series category since its inception in 2015.

Expressing his excitement after the win on Monday night, Noah remarked, “It’s amazing that I get to be a part of this journey. It feels like being part of a winning football team.”

This victory comes after five previous Emmy nominations in the same category, with the sixth nomination during his final season hosting The Daily Show clinching the award.

Noah, who surprised fans with his departure from The Daily Show in September 2022 after seven years as host, is yet to have a replacement named.

Notably, this isn’t Noah’s first Emmy; he previously earned one in 2017 for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series. The Emmy awards stand as the most prestigious honors in the US television industry.
