Trevor Noah is getting a new TV show in SA

Comedian and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah is reteaming with M-Net (DStv 101) and will be doing a 13-part TV series set for broadcast in 2018.

The current working title of the show is Trevor Noah Presents ... in which he will showcase upcoming young comedians in South Africa.

The 33-year-old is back in South Africa to do a new stand-up show in Johannesburg and Durban during his holiday from his Daily Show job.

Trevor slammed criticism that tickets are too expensive, saying that it’s time that South African talent and performers start valuing their work in the way that overseas artists are doing.

The author made the announcement about his new comedy show in partnership with M-Net at a press conference on Thursday morning.

Trevor who in the past has credited M-Net as the first South African broadcaster that was willing to give him a TV show - Tonight with Trevor Noah that ran from 2010 on - reiterated on Thursday that the broadcaster was a "big stepping stone" to getting his The Daily Show gig.

"I've had a great partnership with M-Net for many years now, M-Net was first to give me a shot to have my own TV show where I was involved in the creation of the show," said Trevor Noah.

"I've always wanted to give young comedians the opportunity to connect with their audience - young comedians doing comedy in different languages," he said about his plans for Trevor Noah Presents...

"In the series I will be working with M-Net, me being in South Africa, gathering the finest comedians from across the country, and showcasing them to viewers in South Africa and saying 'hey, these are the comedians who will make you laugh' for every walk of life, every single race, every single language.

"I will be hosting the episodes, showcasing some of the comedians who I think deserve to be out there".
