The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah takes three-month break

The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah has announced, he is taking a three-month break from the show.

Comedy Central confirmed that the popular late night show will return on 13 September 2021, with a new look and feel.

Whether that means Noah goes back into the live studio, after spending more than a year doing it from home is not clear. It would make sense though.

On the reason why he was taking a break, Noah said, “Because it’s time to go outside. It’s been a crazy time we’ve spent together and when we started it was going to be 21 days [. Then within a few months, we were here, stuck together.”

“Every single month we carried on, never knowing when the thing was going to end because we were never really warned when the thing was going to begin. During that time, we found new ways to do things, we found new ways to make a show, we found new ways to communicate with an audience and we found new ways to live as human beings. Now, as the future comes, I wanted to take a moment to think about what that new will be. I don’t know if the world will go back to normal tomorrow, but I know I’m striving for a certain sense of normalcy, but I don’t know what that will be. I do know it will be shaped by what I’ve experienced during this time,” he continued.

Comedy Central is available on DStv’s channel 122, for viewers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
