These are all the awards Trevor Noah has won since taking over ‘The Daily Show’

He is definitely living his best life and flourishing while at it.


Believe it or not, Trevor beat Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, RuPaul and Samantha Bee to win BEST HOST at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards held on 7 May 2017 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, U.S.

In accepting the Golden Popcorn, Noah dedicated his award to his mother, Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah, a domestic violence survivor, saying in his speech that: “She is a powerful, strong black woman who didn’t listen when they told me she couldn’t be more.”

“There is one person I aspire to be every single day,” he continued.

He also thanked his staff at The Daily Show and the notorious President Donald Trump:

“Thank you to Donald J. Trump for the comedy.”

Trevor’s other awards:

  • The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, now in its second season, received a GLAAD award at Saturday’s 28th Annual GLAAD Media Awards for an interview he had with transgender activist, actress and CEO of TransTech Social Enterprises Angelica Ross, winning the “Outstanding Talk Show Episode”.
  • Keeping the momentum from his first win at the 48th annual NAACP Image Awards in February, in which Trevor walked away with two awards for ‘Born A Crime’. Winning in the Literary Work category: Debut Author and Outstanding Literary Work Biography/Autobiography.

Among other winners were Emma Watson, winning the first non-gender specific award for Best Actor, and Netflix’s Stranger Things being the big winners of the night with ‘show of the year’ and ‘best actor in a show’ going to Millie Bobby Brown.

We think it’s only fair to say this is Trevor’s year!
