The 31-year-old made his _Daily Show_ debut just this past December and has only appeared on the late-night comedy three times, so it’s hard to tell what kind of spin he’ll put on the show. But judging by his Twitter profile, Noah is great at one-liners. Noah’s Twitter bio describes him as a comedian from South Africa who “was in the crowd when Rafiki held Simba over the edge of the cliff, like an African Michael Jackson.” Here are some of his best Tweets: > [](https://twitter.com/Trevornoah/status/539472472262049792) > [](https://twitter.com/Trevornoah/status/433570750008938496) > [](https://twitter.com/Trevornoah/status/235383599162093568) ### See Jon Stewart's Most Memorable Guests On The Daily Show  Kurt Vonnegut appeared on the show in 2005, one of his last public appearances.
