To celebrate the upcoming debut of Trevor Noah as host of legendary ‘fake news’ programme The Daily Show, DStv and Comedy Central
(DStv channel 122) are opening the channel to DStvCompact customers for the
first week of broadcast.
The news comes as Noah limbers up to step into the shoes of
beloved Daily Show creator, Jon
Stewart, who left the show in August after 16 years.
The hotly anticipated Noah debut will be the first time in
history that an African has hosted a US late-night TV franchise.
Commented Evert van der Veer, Head of Comedy Central, Africa:
“Every comedy fan in the country is eager to witness how Trevor is going to
handle the biggest gig of his life, and also to see him fly the flag for South
Africa. This is such an important milestone for African comedy and we are
expecting record viewing figures for the premiere and first week of broadcast.”
Aletta Alberts, General Manager of Content for MultiChoice
commented: “The launch of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is such a proud
and historic moment for all South Africans. We’re delighted to share Trevor’s
international success with our DStv Compact customers.”
The Daily Show
with Trevor Noah will air Tuesdays to Fridays on Comedy Central (DStv channel
122) at 21h00 CAT from September 29, just 24 hours after the live US premiere. Comedy
Central will be running, full catch-up episodes of The Daily Show online at www.comedycentralafrica.com(from September 30).
McDonald's is the official South African sponsor of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
