"The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" has received numerous Emmy Award nominations in a very competitive and increasingly crowded field.  This year, "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" landed a record number of seven Emmy Award nominations. It has picked up its most nominations since Trevor became host of the Comedy Central show in 2015. Trevor originally joined "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" in 2014 as a contributor.  Additionally, Trevor Noah and "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" have received other awards and nominations including NAACP, Critic's Choice,  MTV, GLAAD, Webby and People's Choice.

Trevor's success has also spanned to sold out stand-up comedy shows over 5 continents. Trevor most recently finished his "Back To Abnormal Tour" which saw him sell out multiple nights at the O2 Arena in London, perform across Europe including selling the most tickets ever by a non-German in Frankfurt, Germany, as well as Madison Square Garden, The LA Forum, two shows at the Chase Center in San Francisco and ending his run with two sold out shows at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Trevor has written, produced, and starred in 12 comedy specials, including his upcoming, "I Wish You Would," his third for Netflix, premiering globally November 22. True to form, Trevor hilariously shares revelations about learning to speak German, modern communication, and his love for curry. His previous special, "Trevor Noah: Son Of Patricia" received a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Variety Show, as well as a Grammy Award nomination. Other recent stand-up specials include "Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark" (2017) on Netflix and "Trevor Noah: Lost in Translation" (2015) on Comedy Central. Noah was the subject of David Paul Meyer's award-winning documentary film "You Laugh But It's True" which tells the story of his remarkable career in post-apartheid South Africa. His Showtime comedy special, "Trevor Noah: African American" premiered in 2013. He was nominated for "Personality of the Year" at the 2014 and 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards and won the award in 2015.

Trevor is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller "Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood" and its young readers adaptation, released in 2019, "It's Trevor Noah: Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood," which also debuted as a New York Times bestseller. The book not only provides a fascinating and honest perspective on South Africa's racial history, but it will inspire young readers looking to improve their own lives. The book received the Thurber Prize for American Humor and two NAACP Image Awards, one for Outstanding Literary Work by a Debut Author and another for Outstanding Literary Work in the Biography/Auto-Biography category. The paperback version of "Born a Crime" came out in February 2019. To date, "Born a Crime" has sold over 3 million copies across all formats.

The Audible edition of "Born a Crime," performed by Trevor, was produced by Audible and remains one of the top-selling, highest-rated, and most-commented-on Audible performances of all time. "Born a Crime" won the Audie Award for "Best Male Narrator," and was also nominated in the "Autobiography/Memoir," "Best Narration by the Author" and "Audiobook of the Year" categories.

"Born A Crime" is a collection of personal stories about growing up in South Africa during the last gasps of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that came with its demise. Already known for his incisive social and political commentary, here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers an intimate look at the world that shaped him. These are true stories, sometimes dark, occasionally bizarre, frequently tender, and always hilarious. Whether subsisting on caterpillars during months of extreme poverty or making comically hapless attempts at teenage romance, from the time he was thrown in jail to the time he was thrown from a speeding car driven by murderous gangsters, the experiences covered in this book will shock and amaze, even as they leave you rolling on the floor with laughter.

Day Zero Productions, a joint venture between Paramount Global and Trevor Noah, develops and produces diverse, high-quality creative content for a global audience. With projects set up both within the Paramount Global family, as well as at other studios, streamers, and live platforms, Day Zero focuses on entertaining and impactful content, with an eye toward authentic stories from diverse points of view. Among the current projects are an adaptation of Noah's best-selling and award-winning autobiography "Born A Crime," with Lupita Nyong'o starring and a reimagining of the classic Paramount feature President's Analyst. Additional features include a biopic centered on 8-year-old Nigerian chess champion Tanitoluwa Adewumi and an untitled animated feature with Paramount Animation and Mainstay Entertainment, based on an original idea from Noah. On the television side, Day Zero is producing several scripted and documentary series including partnering with Time Studios and Sugar23 on MSNBC/Peacock's The Turning Point, which examines urgent issues around the world like climate change, voting rights, and the global refugee crisis. Day Zero also produced two seasons of Nickelodeon's annual Kid of the Year TV special alongside TIME Studios.

Born in South Africa to a black South African mother and a white European father, Noah has hosted numerous television shows including South Africa's music, television, and film awards, and two seasons of his own late-night talk show, "Tonight with Trevor Noah."

In 2018, Noah launched the Trevor Noah Foundation to improve equitable access to quality education for underserved youth in South Africa. Noah's vision is a world where an education enables youth to dream, see and build the impossible. In collaboration with the government, their partners, and communities, the Foundation implements dynamic school programs that give youth the best chance of succeeding once they leave school. For example, through a partnership with Microsoft, the Foundation provides under-resourced schools access to digital tools and skills to enable 21st-century education for learners and teachers. The Foundation currently impacts over 500 teachers, 6000 learners, and countless families within the communities.

    Great show!

    by Kath on 11/20/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Trevor Noah was excellent! This was my first time seeing him, but hopefully not the last. I wasn't sure what to expect, but he was funny, articulate, and very talented with his impressions. I didn't want the show to end!

    Trevor Noah - A Master of Talents

    by Mike M. on 11/19/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    I knew Trevor was witty, but was blown away discovering his multi-talented repertoire. Spot-on impersonations with different voices, musicality, ability to rapidly alternate between two distinct characters having real time conversations, an unprecedented view of our and others' cultures and traditions, and the ability to help us laugh at ourselves with over-the-top recreations of taken-for-granted habits and beliefs. You've gotta see him to believe how good he is!

    Great show but staff confused lack of security outside.

    by BooBoo on 11/19/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Trevor Noah was great. Theater is beautiful. Severe lack of security while waiting in line outside to get in. Theater employee right next to me was confronted by an obviously mentally ill or drugged out person who verbally abused him and used very vulgar language loudly while getting in his face. Nobody with security or police stepped in to control the situation. Theater employees also were confused about setting up an orderly line and offered no help with seating or helping us with finding the merchandise that came with our tickets.

    Very good but not his best ( in my humble opinion)

    by RKS on 11/19/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    I am a huge fan of Trevor Noah and never miss the opportunity to see him live when he is in Chicago. He is much better live. However his current show was not as good as the previous ones. Still very good though. Another annoying thing about the show this time was that they put your phones and watch in a pouch and you couldn’t access it which being a physician was very frustrating as I am constantly getting calls. To have access to your phone one would have to step out and have the pouch unlocked by the security. Had I known this beforehand I would not have come for the show.

    Great show!

    by Jim on 11/19/23Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis

    The show was great. The short opening act was great. Trevor was fantastic. The venue was great. The only issue I had was the lacking of close disability restrooms. I hava a hip issue and could not go downstairs to the men’s room. I fould only one accessible restroom on the level of the venue doors.

    Thanks Trevor!

    by Thanks Trevor! on 11/19/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Thanks Trevor for coming to the Windy City! It's always great to listen to intelligent comedy from Trevor. But, it was even better listening to him in person. It felt like we were his friends going on a journey with him. Good time! 👍

    A Night Full of Laughs

    by KG on 11/18/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    It was so so so good to see Trevor Noah. As always, Trevor was funny and on point. He even allowed the audience to throw some questions at him and he was able to respond with something hilarious. My family and I really enjoyed the evening.
