In an appearance on _The Tonight Show_ Friday night, the South African comic described the presidential election as akin to _Game of Thrones_: “We need a map to show you who goes where, and how: The House of Bush!” As for what outgoing _Daily Show_ host Jon Stewart told him about taking on the fake-news stalwart: “Jon has some great advice and some of it, I don’t understand, but I just nod. \[….\] The most important thing he said was, ‘Go out there and have fun. Do the best show that you feel you can do and the show that you feel needs to be done.'” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3963508/trevor-noah-daily-show-game-thrones/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3963508/trevor-noah-daily-show-game-thrones/"},"headline":"Watch New Daily Show Host Trevor Noah Explain How the Election Is Like Game of Thrones","datePublished":"2015-07-18T13:11:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:22:30.562Z","description":"\"We need a map to show you who goes where, and how: The House of Bush!\"","url":"https://time.com/3963508/trevor-noah-daily-show-game-thrones/","keywords":["Television","jimmy fallon","The Daily Show","The Tonight Show","Jon Stewart","trevor noah"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9169fcdf1623d991/69885b7e35ba6fe991c0e3f3/trevor-noah.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel D'Addario","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9169fcdf1623d991/69885b7e35ba6fe991c0e3f3/trevor-noah.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show trevor noah","caption":"The Tonight Show trevor noah","creditText":"NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3963508/trevor-noah-daily-show-game-thrones/","name":"Watch New Daily Show Host Trevor Noah Explain How the Election Is Like Game of Thrones"}}]}] ```
