On Friday on his New York-based news-commentary satire show The Daily Show, Trevor Noah took the opportunity to punt his book, Born a Crime and Other Stories.

He said the reason was to explain himself to his American audience.
“I know that I popped up in a lot of people’s lives out of nowhere when it came to The Daily Show. A lot of people asked me questions like ‘where the hell are you from?’; ‘why do you speak the way you do?’; ‘why do you look the way you do?’; ‘if you’re from Africa why does your skin look the way it does?’.”
He said that these questions were part of the reason he wrote the book, which is mostly a series of vignettes from his life covering some of his personal observations while telling personal stories.
It has so far received praise from critics.
The book launched worldwide this month.
