It has been confirmed that Trevor Noah has signed a deal with M-Net for a new TV show that will be aired in 2018.
The 13-part series aims to “showcase young talent” and will see Trevor take the helm and guide up and coming comedians.
At a press conference in Johannesburg on Thursday Trevor said he has always wanted to grow comedy in South Africa.
“I remember when I was young‚ watching really amazing shows and at the time‚ it was a lot of Afrikaans comedians. It was the Tolla van der Merwes and all of them. They were telling jokes together. There was a culture of comedy in South Africa. There was a conversation that was happening in a space where people were getting to know funniness from home.”
Filming for the show‚ which will be aired on M-Net (channel 101)‚ will start in early 2018 and will be aired soon after.
The working title of the show is Trevor Noah Presents and the host of The Daily Show will be hosting the show as well as giving comedians the chance to share a stage with him.
“That’s something I’ve always wanted to grow. I want to give young comedians the opportunity to connect with their audience.”
Trevor Noah pokes fun at Bonang's book errors
Don’t ever say Trevor Noah doesn’t keep up with what is going on in SA! During his show‚ There’s a Gupta on my Stoep‚ the comedian didn’t waste the chance to poke fun at the errors in Bonang Matheba’s recently released book.
AKA performed at the show at the Dome on Thursday night and shortly after his performance‚ Trevor Noah took to the stage.
“I guess I can’t speak about Bonang now‚” he said.
The host of The Daily Show used the book as his opening joke and said that even though a deputy minister had admitted to assaulting a woman‚ Bonang was still topping the trends list with South Africans talking about the errors in her book.
Bonang Matheba: From A to B was released two weeks ago and the errors were immediately picked up.

Trevor played out a story of a child using the book at school and the teacher reprimanding the student for not reading it correctly. But then the child pointed out that he was reading the book as is‚ errors and all.
