From a fellow South African: No one knows how hard it is to grind oneself out of poverty. Trevor does. He's a South African hero in ways most heroes don't experience. You don't know me, Trevor. That's ok. Cyril Ramaphosa doesn't either. Most people can't map South Africa on an atlas. Go, Trevor! Be the national hero you are.

I’ve always loved Trevor’s outside perspective on American politics and his care of world news. We miss that now in late night tv.

I met Trevor when I spotted him outside a restaurant I was sitting in during a visit to Kiev in 2018 for the UEFA Champions League Final. I approached him and his two friends (male and female). Nobody knew who he was. We spoke for 25mins at the entrance. He was so engaging with me as a complete stranger. A rarity.

One of the sweetest, intelligent and nicest comedians around!

As an American traveling, Germany had 14 different non-alcohol beers. Went on to Scotland and asked the waiter what non-alcohol beers they had and he said, "Now why would you do that?" Still laugh about that.

Trevor's just being polite. He knows South Africa's anthem is the best.

[schnook-in-boots]

Miss him SO MUCH! He was the best late night host. Always real, always kind.

Comedians with intellect and eloquence

That Hugh Masekela song when Trevor entered showed me where his heart is...🙌🏽🇿🇦

[divalarue]

I could talk to Trevor for hours. He digs deep without you feeling offended. You’ll walk away enlightened by him simplifying the most difficult conversations about politics, trauma and self reflections.

Trevor made a great point comparing politics and sport.
I'm a Kiwi and loyal All Black supporter. But I can accept a loss as long as my team gave it their best. Can you imagine Trump and his supporters even admitting defeat.

[mehar]

Wow. As an 🇮🇳Indian, I'd wanna tell Trevor how we grew up singing our national anthem every morning at school assembly😂 u can faint in the sun but you gotta stand there

[panamafloyd]

I miss Trevor. Understand why he left, but still miss him.

[typicalrockandroll]

Trevor is great, good to see him again. Wish it was more often.

[QuiltLady]

I loved his show where he went back to South Africa to see his Grandmother. She was such a jewel 💎. And so funny.

[amemooress]

Ive always appreciated his perspective on American politics -- and even non-political issues. He's intelligent and compassionate, and we need more of that.

[blessingsoutlaw]

South Africa’s sweetheart is a gross understatement… ❤

[laminekongere]

Trevor is honestly one of the most genuine showbiz characters in the spotlight right now..stay there bro

[parkviewmo]

I am glad to see how much happier Trevor is now. Of course I miss him on the Daily Show, but Trevorr is more important than that. We bow to you South Africa for nurturing a not just a national treasure but an international treasure.

Trevor is the best. I really love to watch these two lovely intelligent witty gentleman talk
