Trevor Noah wins Emmy for 'The Daily Show'
South African-born comedian and television presenter Trevor Noah has scooped an Emmy for his popular television show.
The Daily Show With Trevor Noah won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Series last night, marking the show’s first victory in the category since the departure of former host Jon Stewart in 2015.
The television Industry's top creatives and talent came together at Monday's 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
Noah left the show as the host in December 2022 - but the Emmys were delayed several months due to writers' and actors' strikes in 2023.
In his acceptance speech, Noah joked about breaking the win streak of HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver in the variety talk category.
"Succession," the HBO show about the back-stabbing dynastic battles of a powerful family, won multiple awards in the gala's drama categories, including best writing and directing, while "The Bear" led the comedy awards and "Beef" dominated in the limited series section.
"It was a great sadness to end the show, but it was a great pleasure to do it," said "Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong while poking fun at the show's not-so-subtle inspiration, Australian-born media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.
"I can't speak for him, but I'm very grateful for the generosity I've been shown working in this country," said the British writer.
Other shows getting nostalgic reunions included "Grey's Anatomy," while Tina Fey and Amy Poehler presented an award in a special "Weekend Update" from "Saturday Night Live," Emmys style.
