Trevor Noah to Take Anchor Position on 'The Daily Show'

This article covers the selection of a new anchor for 'The Daily Show'. The current anchor, John Stewart, stated that he is stepping down. The search for the replacement is on. Trevor Noah, an unexpected replacement, was selected for the job. The article entails the selection process as well as a back story on Trevor Noah. Statements from officials who were on the selection board are included as well.
I think that Noah fits the bill for a new anchor perfectly. As a lover of both 'The Daily Show' and stand-up comedy, it is a pleasant thought to know he is seasoned in both. I really enjoy the show and the episodes he has been featured in. Noah has demonstrated that he is downright funny and not afraid to "go there" with his jokes. Trevor knows how to set the tone for a joke so I think his presence on the show in such an influential way will be positive. Noah is an intelligent comedian that I always look forward to seeing on the show so I think it is great news that he will be seen every episode.
