Jon Stewart will officially hand over the reins of The Daily Show to Trevor Noah on Sept. 28.
Stewart announced his departure from the show in February, and Noah was announced as his successor at the end of March. The South African comedian had only made three previous appearances on the show, and faced some backlash after the announcement for some of his previous tweets that people found offensive.
Until then, it looks like Noah is prepping for his new role by trying out Stewart’s chair.
