Trevor Noah previews some of the changes to The Daily Show

Comedy Central chose the 31-year-old South African comedian to helm The Daily Show after its former host of 16 years, Jon Stewart, stepped down in August.

That’s the question asked in the latest promo for the Comedy Central late-night show, which will be hosted by Trevor Noah beginning September 28. He won best newcomer at the Melbourne global Comedy Festival in 2012 and has become a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe and Montreal Just for Laughs festivals.

He had been due return to Australia, but will now join The Daily Show’s list of correspondents who put together field pieces or commentary segments for the program. Trevor Noah will take up the post on September 28, and his production staff is gearing up for his debut.

Chieng’s publicist said the new job has meant having to cancel some shows and reschedule others on his planned Australian tour called You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About. Wood most recently starred as “Roy” on TBS’ Sullivan & Son. Wood’s stand-up album, “Things I Think, I Think“, was released in 2013. Wood is repped by UTA and MacDonald Entertainment.

Actress Desi Lydic got her start in a brief role in 2001’s Not Another Teen Movie, but is perhaps best known for playing Valerie Marks on the MTV series Awkward. Lydic’s feature film credits include Cameron Crowe’s “We Bought A Zoo” opposite Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson and “The Babymakers” directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and opposite Olivia Munn. She is repped by UTA, Underground and attorney is Stone, Meyer, et al.

Lydic was a member of The Groundlings and Improv Olympic.
