The news follows Noah’s latest triumph when he was chosen as one of 10 Next Generation Leaders by Time Magazine‚ who praised him as “the master of the eloquent Trump-takedown”.
The Daily Show host beat fellow South Africans Pearl Thusi and Wayde van Niekerk, Nigerian sensations Yemi Alade and Funke Akindele Bello, as well as Academy Award-winning Kenyan treasure Lupita Nyong’o.
Noah received the coveted blimp trophy thanks to kids throughout Africa who voted for their favourites.
Unable to make it to the live event on Saturday 11th March 2017, he sent a video acceptance speech, shot on the set of Comedy Central's The Daily Show.
“Nickelodeon! And the kids! Thank you so much for this amazing award. I am so honoured to be your Favourite African Star. [Thanks] for giving me this Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award.”
Peering inside of his award, Noah quipped: “Did you know that it’s a kaleidoscope? I didn’t know that, you can see things – oh look at that! I can see Africa. Oh-oh-oh … I wanna go home. Thanks again, everybody.”
Chris Torline‚ senior marketing and digital director of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa‚ said: “It’s amazing to see the broad appeal Trevor enjoys among comedy fans of all ages.”
