Trevor Noah Makes History By Garnering The Most Emmy Nominations For The Daily Show In It’s History
Renowned South African Comedian and host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah has made history by earning the show the most Emmy Nominations since he took over from Jon Stewart in 2015. The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards nominees were announced on Tuesday, 12 July, with the late-night series and its spin-offs scoring seven nominations, including in the main Outstanding Variety Talk Series category.
According to Deadline, this marks its fifth consecutive nomination in the main late-night category; however, The Daily Show has lost out to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which has won the award six years in a row. while the show itself has remained a TV-viewing favourite, it is the show’s expanding universe that helped it bring in more nominations than ever before and more than any of the other late-night shows.
The Show Is Nominated In The Following Categories
- Outstanding variety talk series
- Outstanding picture editing for variety programming
- Outstanding technical direction, camerawork, video control
- Outstanding writing for variety series
“I’m so thrilled for everyone on The Daily Show team and incredibly lucky to be part of a place where we can laugh, cry, debate and create together to bring some perspective and humour to this hectic world,” showrunner, exec producer and writer Jen Flanz said in a statement. “I’m grateful for the support of Paramount, MTVE and Comedy Central and truly appreciative for Trevor, who is as wonderful to work with off camera as he is on.”
