Trevor Noah Got Terrified Arriving at The Daily Show?

Just days before the South African comedian, TV and radio host - Trevor Noah will take over the American comedian, media critic, and television host - Jon Stewart on the "The Daily Show," Trevor Noah willingly admitted the truth that "it is hard to reboot and re-enact a new show from an old show in just five weeks."

On Monday at 11p.m. ET, Trevor Noah has been obliged to assume Jon Stewart's position as host on Comedy Central. It has been only a little over a month since Jon Stewart ended his 16 years as the nation's court professional joker who shape up "The Daily Show" in his own savvy image.

Despite all these, Noah managed to look calm and composed as he greeted a reporter into his 'not-quite-settled-into' workplace at the network's so-called World News Headquarters.

Back in February when Jon Stewart announced he was leaving the show, Trevor Noah began getting feelers about being the successor of Stewart, "I throw a question to Jon, 'Have you been kicked out?' Jon Stewart answered, 'No, I'm tired.'"

Whereupon Noah asked Jon Stewart the big question about what was his stance on Noah as his successor. According to Noah - Stewart's answer to him was, "Who do you think suggested you?"

And a month later, Trevor Noah was tapped by Comedy Central.

Noah believes that the media will pronounce an instant verdict against him being the host of the show. With the media's impossible to satisfy appetite for content and their treatment with each passing moment as a potential milestone he seems to prepare himself for the worst.

However, Trevor Noah reconciled to the minor weakness of the media, and eager to tease them, appears calm as he prepares for the opening night.

And this is what Trevor Noah said about the speculations if he won't feel terrified, "the same way I feel now. I'm having nightmares! It's terrifying, it really is. But it also has a very great degree of excitement. I'm trying to enjoy every moment of it."
