This weekend, Daily Show host, Trevor Noah, will be back on South African soil to host the 6th edition of the MTV African Music awards.

Noah’s return is something special because since he took over from former Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, he has had very little opportunity to do anything else, except for the occasional stand-up tour around the US and more recently, Australia.

It is also a very significant time for Trevor to be back in Johannesburg because his new book, Born A Crime, launches mid-November.

It is a great opportunity to create some hype and get the conversation going around it.

Recently, Noah tweeted how he had also made a special cover, just for the Southern African audience, presumably a gesture of thanks and a recognition of his roots.

It will be interesting to see how the book does.

We will be looking to review it as soon as we can.

Before  15 November however, it is almost a given that Noah will do an outstanding job at the Mamas on Saturday at the Ticketpro Dome.

It will also be a great opportunity for the African audience to view Trevor on his more natural platform – the stage – without the strict use of a teleprompter.

I have no doubt there are thousands of South Africans out there also waiting for Noah to have a go at some local celebrities, politicians and other prominent personalities, as he hasn’t had the opportunity to do so in recent times.

The award ceremony will be live on  MTV Base (322) and MTV (130) from 21:00 (Central African Time).
