I don't know how many of you guys have caught this SA comedian, he is extremely good. Will be a challenge for him to bring an American flavour to his act I would imagine. But congrats to him:salute:

"Mr. Noah, who spoke by phone from Dubai, where he is on a leg of a comedy tour, said he had been given a great opportunity, as well as a significant challenge.

“You don’t believe it for the first few hours,” Mr. Noah said of learning about his new job. “You need a stiff drink, and then unfortunately you’re in a place where you can’t really get alcohol. ... As he joked in a 2013 comedy set on “Late Show With David Letterman,” Mr. Noah said that he did not like being introduced as a comedian from Africa, as if he represented the entire continent. “They make it sound like a guy in leopard skin’s going to come running on the stage,” he said.”

Ain't that the truth.:D

I never heard of him but that is a good thing. They needed fresh blood!

Fallon, Meyers, Kimmel, Colbert for Letetrman, all were on other shows before.

Not that I watch any of them I live in Korea and they only come on when I am at work. Around 10am I think.
