Trevor Noah’s New and Sexy Daily Show

South African comedian and actor Trevor Noah will take The Daily Show hot seat on September 28, according to a Comedy Central promo video which calls the show “new and sexy.” “Late night will NEVER BE THE SAME,” said the channel in a tweet. “Or maybe it will. Watch to find out.”

Noah takes over for Jon Stewart, whose last day as host will be August 6. The new Daily Show host began as a correspondent on the show in December. In the video, Noah seems excited — and a little anxious — to settle into his new haunts.

“It’s an honor to follow Jon Stewart. He and the team at The Daily Show have created an incredible show whose impact is felt all over the world,” Noah said an a statement when he was announced as Stewart’s replacement in March. “In my brief time with the show they’ve made me feel so welcome. I’m excited to get started and work with such a fantastic group of people.”

We certainly expect lots of intelligent political satire, and maybe even a little controversy, from Noah as he begins in his new post this fall. Especially since there’s already been some criticism of the new host’s past tweets — and he hasn’t even started yet.

“Trevor Noah pushes boundaries; he is provocative and spares no one, himself included,” Comedy Central said in a statement. “To judge him or his comedy based on a handful of jokes is unfair. Trevor is a talented comedian with a bright future at Comedy Central.”

While we’re certainly excited to see what Noah brings to the table, we’re also sure that this isn’t the last time we’ll be seeing Stewart on the show. He has a cameo in the announcement video and has said “in fact, I may rejoin [the show] as a correspondent just to be a part of it.”

What’s the deal with Seinfeld? Watching a TV classic for the first time
George and Jerry talk in Seinfeld.

It has been 24 years since Seinfeld went off the air, but the iconic show's cultural staying power is still hanging around. In the post-ironic comedic landscape of our current times, it is startling how the laugh-track-driven relic has lived on in the millennial consciousness, immortalized by memes, Twitter threads, and its prominent place on Netflix.

Yet until recently, I had never watched Seinfeld despite being surrounded by a pop culture that is shaped by it. My rewatch of the show's nine seasons not only filled me in on what I missed, but gave me advice I didn't know I needed and showed me who I was, who I wanted to be, and who I could've become if I followed the sarcastic wit and wisdom of Jerry, George, Elaine, or Kramer.

The Big Bang Theory cast eats take out in Leonard's apartment

In 2007, The Big Bang Theory premiered to humble beginnings. Airing just before the writer's strike shut down Hollywood, the show centered around a group of nerdy, geeky scientists at Cal Tech. After its well-received first season, the show quickly gained momentum, and by the mid-2010s, The Big Bang Theory had become the most-watched show on television and was even ranked as one of the best shows of the 21st century.

What makes it all even more extraordinary is that, on the surface, the lead characters weren't likable. They weren't cool. They weren't sexy. They weren't badass. They weren't anything Hollywood usually brands as desirable.
