Trevor Noah Disproves ‘Notion That There Are No Women in Comedy’

He made his first appearance on the Late Show back in 2013.

The Late Show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS. “And over time, that’ll happen; it’s a conversation that we need to continue having”. You look at Amy Schumer right now-I would argue that there is no more preeminent voice in comedy. But as the reaction from Bee and others demonstrates, it has not been almost fast enough when it comes to women, a point that David Kamp finally gets around to mentioning at the end of his article in Vanity Fair. Prior to that, Colbert spent eight years as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” as an on-air personality and writer of news satire for the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series.

On “The Late Show”, he’s abandoned his fictional anchorman persona and is hosting as himself, but he’s still armed with strong interviewing skills, quick wit, and an impressive array of knowledge, as viewers had seen on his previous show.

Noah has been booked for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” airing on Thursday, September 20, where he is going to join UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon along with musical guest Chris Stapleton. Moments after the magazine published a photo of 10 men to illustrate its article on why late-night TV is “better than ever”, Twitter erupted the way only Twitter knows how. I’m not holding out hope for the new “Daily Show” to have much gender diversity, I’ll put it that way.

“Variety’s” Brian Lowry said, “Facing nearly impossibly high expectations, Stephen Colbert seemingly raced through a checklist of agenda-setting moments in his mostly terrific The Late Show debut”. The new host of “The Daily Show” hasn’t even started yet and he’s already kind of letting me down. “Colbert has this in the bag; it’s now just a question of letting him do his thing”. The first step in that is you go, OK, there’s two men of color.
