Trevor Noah joins WebexOne to unpack AI against the backdrop of urgent global issues. He discusses the ways experts are using AI to address these issues, and the effect it’s having on public safety, health, education, and more. Noah breaks down complex issues to surface actionable solutions and explores how AI will have a lasting impact on communities around the world.
Trevor Noah is one of the most successful comedians in the world and was the host of the Emmy® Award-winning “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central for seven years. Under Trevor, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” broke free from the restraints of a 30-minute linear show, producing engaging social content, award-winning digital series, podcasts and more for its global audience. In January of 2024, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” won an Emmy for “Outstanding Talk Series.” Trevor has also notably served as the Grammy Awards host for four years in a row, with the 2024 show bringing in 16.9 million viewers, a 34% increase from last year’s show.
Trevor currently hosts a Spotify original weekly podcast titled What Now? With Trevor Noah. In this new podcast, listeners get a chance to hear Trevor like never before. Trevor is joined each episode by celebrities, thought leaders, athletes, and friends to chat about the contemporary topics on everyone’s minds. He brings the kinds of conversations that happen behind the scenes to light - full of radical candor, authentic back-and-forths, and honest reactions, with Trevor bringing to bear his classic, effortlessly playful and equally probing style.
Trevor is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” and its young readers adaptation, released in 2019, titled “It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood,” which also debuted as a New York Times bestseller. The Audible edition of “Born a Crime,” performed by Trevor, remains one of the top-selling, highest-rated, and most-commented-on Audible performances of all time. To date, “Born a Crime” has sold over 3 million copies across all formats.
Following the extraordinary success of “Born a Crime,” Trevor’s new book titled “Into the Uncut Grass” is scheduled for release on October 8th, 2024. It is a gorgeously illustrated and moving modern fable for readers of all ages about forgiveness, acceptance, and the secret to solidarity.
Trevor's success has also spanned to sold out stand-up comedy shows across 5 continents. His current “Off The Record” World Tour stopped in 28 cities across the US before heading to international destinations, and a set from “Off the Record” became available as his fourth Netflix stand-up special titled Where Was I in 2023. Where Was I has recently scored two 2024 Emmy nominations for ‘Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) and ‘Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special’ as well as Golden Globe and Critic’s Choice Association nominations, sold out Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, enjoyed a 10-consecutive-show run at the Beacon Theatre, sold out three O2 shows (50K tickets total) in London, and set a record for the most tickets sold by a non-German comedian in history in Berlin.
Trevor has written, produced, and starred in 12 comedy specials total, including Grammy and Emmy-nominated “I Wish You Would” for Netflix, which premiered globally in November 2022. True to form, Trevor hilariously shares revelations about learning to speak German, modern communication, and his love for curry. His previous special for Netflix, “Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia” received a NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Variety Show,” as well as a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Comedy Album”.
Trevor also moved from in front of the camera to a behind-the-scenes turn as executive producer with his production company, Day Zero Productions (DZP). The Emmy-nominated company, a joint venture between Paramount Global and Trevor, develops and produces entertaining and impactful content for a global audience. Current film projects include an adaptation of Noah’s best-selling and award-winning autobiography “Born A Crime,” a biopic centered on 8-year-old Nigerian chess champion Tanitoluwa Adewumi, and a reimagining of the classic Paramount feature President’s Analyst. On the television side, Day Zero is producing several scripted and unscripted series including Amazon Prime Video’s first South African original, “LOL: Last One Laughing.” The six-part unscripted comedy series produced and hosted by Trevor pits 10 famous South African comedians and entertainers against one another to see who can keep a straight face while simultaneously trying to make their opponents laugh – and lose. DZP also produced Emmy Award-winning The World According to Football for Showtime, The Turning Point series for MSNBC/Peacock, two Kid of the Year TV specials for Nickelodeon, and the HBOMax/Discovery+ special For All Humankind. DZP’s gaming arm recently created JokeNite, the first ever stand-up comedy club in the game Fortnite, along with Epic Games.
In 2018, Trevor launched the Trevor Noah Foundation to improve equitable access to quality education for underserved youth in South Africa. Trevor’s vision is a world where education enables youth to dream, see and build the impossible.
