With the intensity of the elections and the worries that Donald Trump might be the next President of the free world, many people turn to humor to find refuge in these scary times.

Comedian Trevor Noah took over for Jon Stewart on The Daily Show as the funny man behind the desk in September 2015. He brings you politics with a dash of humor, and it is much needed considering the way these elections are going down.

Before he was bringing comic relief and insight on American politics, Noah was taking South Africa by storm. Born during Apartheid, Trevor jokes that his birth itself was a crime. After trying his hand at acting and a stint as a radio personality, he found his calling in stand up comedy, becoming the first South African comedian to appear on The Tonight Show and Letterman. After appearing only three times on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah was chosen to take over as host. He has since become the voice that many Americans rely on to get through the rat race to the White House.
