I like Trevor Noah.  He manages to straddle a very fine line of tackling tough comics with just the right amount of humor and seriousness.  As a political commentator, he engages the viewer to possibly see things from a different perspective because of his manner of presentation, facts and the frosting of his irony or sardonic comedy.  

As a TV host, I think he is really engaging.  Juggling hosting duties at star-studded televised events (like the Grammy’s for example) is not an easy feat.  But I think that Noah gets it done with panache, class and without pandering or groan-worthy jokes.  That’s why he keeps getting hired. 

He’s got a lot of important things to say, and he knows how to present them in a digestible way that makes us think.  And he does it in a manner that is thoughtful and clever.  In a nutshell, I think he’s intelligent and likeable and has career legs. 

Finding a signed copy of his book “Born a Crime” for $2.99 at a Goodwill was bonus!
