Trevor Noah Net Worth: South African Comedian Skips ‘Daily Show’ After Emergency Surgery, How Is New Comedy Central Host Doing?

It's been a little over a month since South African multitalented comedian Trevor Noah stepped into one of the most impossible jobs in the world, which was to fill in for Jon Stewart after leaving a hole in Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" - weeks on, what is Trevor Noah's net worth?

Before becoming the host of "The Daily Show," the 31 year-old star already had a fairly successful comedy act where most of Trevor Noah's net worth comes from, in a routine often dealing with his own background as a mixed race man from South Africa, whose parents (an African woman and a Swiss man) were together during the times of apartheid.

It'd been a while since Noah was working for "The Daily Show" when he was offered to host the cult show, a move that would certainly boost Trevor Noah's net worth in the long run; interestingly enough, however, he wasn't Comedy Central's first choice to replace Stewart, as Amy Schumer was also approached for the job.

Now, as Trevor Noah's net worth grows from his work in the staple fake news show, AV Club reports that he just had a near-death experience, as he had to go through emergency appendectomy surgery last Tuesday, although things went smoothly and he's scheduled to come back to the show on Wednesday night.

"We're happy to report the procedure went well and he is currently recuperating from the surgery," Comedy Central's Twitter posted. "As a result, The Daily Show will air an encore tonight. We expect he and the show will be back with an original episode tomorrow."

In the meantime, Trevor Noah's net worth keeps growing - even though it seems it's a bad moment health-wise to be on late night hosting, as "The Tonight Show" star Jimmy Fallon recently had not one but two accidents on his hands.

In any case, Celebrity Net Worth currently lists Trevor Noah's net worth as $3 million.
