The 31-year-old South African comedian is the surprise pick to replace Jon Stewart, who will leave the show this year.
South African comedian Trevor Noah will succeed Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," the New York Times reported Monday.

The 31-year-old, who joined the show as a correspondent in December 2014, will replace Stewart, who will step down from hosting duties later this year after 16 years at the helm.
Noah has made just three appearances on the show since joining.
Speculation that Noah was the frontrunner to place Stewart was first revealed by Variety late last week.
