The Newsman: Trevor Noah

In his Men of the Year profile, Trevor Noah talks to Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Wesley Lowery about [deep breath] 2020's Black Lives Matter protests, his controversial 2016 dinner with Tomi Lahren, his mental health, being biracial in America, where the American press has failed, and—relatedly—building (and evolving) his version of the Daily Show. In our confusing, noisy, pandemic-cloistered world, its become essential viewing by leaning into complexity and nuance. “What I'm doing on this show is I'm just gonna speak my truth…and say, ‘Yo man. A lot of things we’re gonna deal with in the world are messy and complicated,” says Noah. In a year where the news has gotten wilder by the week, Noah has been the voice America needs.
