The South African-born comedian Trevor Noah has won an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Talk Series category in America.
The 39-year-old has made it to the top globally and has even hosted the Grammy awards for four years in a row.
Noah is the first African to win an Emmy for outstanding talk series since the introduction of the category back in 2015.
"It’s amazing that I get to be a part of this journey. It feels like being part of a winning football team,’’ Noah said after being announced as the winner on Monday night.
The comedian is familiar to being nominated for the Emmy category five times before he finally secured a win in his sixth nomination in his last season hosting The Daily show.
The News of Noah’s departure from the Daily show in September 2022 left many of his fans staggered, which came after he hosted the show for the 7 years.
Noah has another Emmy award, the most prestigious honors in the US television industry, for an Outstanding Short Form Variety Series in 2017.
