Trevor Noah was the host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central on American television for seven years. He was born and grew up in South Africa during the apartheid era (1948 to 1994). According to the apartheid laws, Trevor's parents could not marry or have children, so Trevor's birth can be called ‘a crime’. As a mixed-race person, he was classified as 'colored' in accordance with the racist apartheid system. Noah's autobiography of his growing up is largely a tribute to his mother whose courage, sense of purpose, perseverance, and some good luck he largely credits with his eventual world-wide success as a comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor, and television host.
