Ambition and talent. From his debut in Johannesburg, the young Trevor Noah was preparing to become a star, remembers Chris Forrest, one of the veterans of South African humor: “When I met him, he just started performing in front of an audience. In a comedy club. He came to me before going on stage to ask me if he should hire a manager. I pointed out to him that this was only his first show and that he should first try to become famous before he thought about hiring a manager. And then he came on stage and he was amazing. As soon as he got to his dressing room, I said to him: I want to be your manager. “
Trevor Noah also cut his teeth on YFM youth radio. As he left the radio, host MacG took his place. He remembers their discussion in the basement of the radio. “He said to me, hello friend, I’m leaving YFM,” he says. I was only 18 years old and my dream was to work for this radio station. So I was wondering: why did this guy leave the biggest youth radio station in Johannesburg to devote himself to comedy when comedy at the time did not mean much. But for Trevor Noah, it is no surprise that he traveled to the United States and is where he is today. He has always been great in his field and South Africans love him. “
In 2019, Trevor Noah made an impression by filling out Madison Square Garden in the United States for his show. The presentation of the Grammys Awards is a new inauguration for the South African.
The ceremony begins at 17 Los Angeles time, at. 2 KST.
