Trevor Noah, first African to win an Emmy

South African comedian Trevor Noah has become the first African to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Series category as a host for the American talk show The Daily Show.

With the award, Noah makes history as the first African and first black person to win the category with its introduction by the Emmys in 2015.

The comedian earned his sixth Emmy nomination for his final season hosting The Daily Show after five previous nominations.

“It’s amazing that I get to be a part of this journey. It feels like being part of a winning football team,” Noah said after securing the win on Monday night.

Noah has another Emmy award, which he earned in 2017 for an Outstanding Short Form Variety Series.

The Emmy Award is the most prestigious honour in the US television industry.
