Trevor Noah has had a remarkable journey from the poor Soweto township he grew up in, to hosting one of America's best loved late-night show's, the Daily Show. He was born during apartheid in South Africa and the laws said black and white people couldn't be in a sexual relationship together, but Trevor's mum broke those rules and had him with a white father. Even though he lives in New York Trevor is still deeply committed to South Africa and recently launched the Trevor Noah Foundation to help orphans and vulnerable children.
