REVIEW - Trevor Noah at Cobbs Comedy Club

Unless you've been living under a shell, you'll already know that Jon Stewart is stepping down as host of The Daily Show, and Trevor Noah is taking his place.

That could be the end of the story, but for a few facts.

First, the attention paid to TV talk show hosts - Letterman, Leno, Jimmy Fallon - all of them - is epic.

Second, Trevor Noah is South African, of mixed race parents, and uses his ethnicity as a well from which to hoist material that's on the one hand familiar to fans of Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and Chris Rock, and on the other hand unfamiliar - his upbringing in Apartheid South Africa has given him a somewhat unique outlook on life.

Anyhow, that outlook has made him a very intelligent, observational comic who should do well on The Daily Show.
