South African Comedian Trevor Noah Wins 7 Webby Awards

This week, Trevor Noah won seven Webby Awards for The Daily Show. Trevor Noah, who was overjoyed to be acknowledged, expressed his gratitude on Twitter. The 27th annual Webby Awards were held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

Trevor Noah stepped down as host of The Daily Show after several years. On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he stated that he will miss the grind and compared it to wedding planning.

“I do miss the discipline,” said Trevor to Stephen. “I do miss the joy that came from cracking that nut every single day, but I don’t miss the grind,” he continued.

“The thing I missed most, and it happened mostly in the pandemic, and I know I’m not alone in this, I missed people. I missed two years of people’s lives. I missed two years of eating food in South Africa. I missed two years of traveling with my family and friends.

“I remember there was one Met Gala after-party I was at. You’re at this event, it’s amazing everyone’s having a good time, you know there’s people dancing, there’s Rihanna, there’s Harry Styles and I’m in a corner like, ‘Is the filibuster tomorrow? What’s happening tomorrow?

“Making a daily Television show in many ways is like planning for a wedding. So, you’re thinking, ‘Who are the guests? What are you going to wear? What’s going to happen? Who’s going to be making a toast, and what will the speeches be about? What’s everybody eating, who’s sitting where? How’s it all going — and then the wedding happens, and then you go, ‘Alright, we’re doing another wedding tomorrow,’” Noah said.

Trevor Noah also wowed the world by hosting music’s biggest night in front of a house packed of A-listers. For the second year in a row, he hosted The 65th Grammy Awards live on Sunday, February 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

Trevor took to Instagram to reflect on what it was like to host for the second week in a row and to thank people for tuning in.

“Wow! What a night! A huge thank you to everyone that attended or watched from home! My mind is still trying to process everything that happened! Congrats to all the winners and nominees!! Music’s biggest night is truly YOUR night! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!”
