He’s just been announced as Jon Stewart’s replacement on The Daily Show. Big shoes to fill.

He’s been on The Daily Show three times in his life. Here’s one of those times.

Noah was born to a black mother and white father, and calls his birth “a crime” because his parents’ relationship was illegal at the time.
