Thanks for the nice article. I am a South African and I am proud to stay that I love Trevor Noah's comedy and him as a person.
I think what allot of people don't get is that Trevor had a very hard time getting into comedy and allot of the established comedians in South Africa are hating on him for becoming so famous in a very short amount of time. There was a very cool documentary on netflix about Trevor Noah's life, which I would recommend you to watch. I think what makes him especially funny is the fact that he can speak more than 3 languages( I think it might even be more) which allows him to be able to do a whole range of different accents. In South Africa we think allot in terms of race, so Trevor Noah has had good preparation for the racial divide that occurs in the United States.
