This Sunday ( 6 August 2017) Carte Blanche visits Trevor Noah in New York, and spends time with him on the set of The Daily Show.
The special feature means that Carte Blanche will extend to 90 minutes and coincides with Trevor's trip to South Africa next week to perform his live shows in Joziburg and Durban.
Here's a rundown of the episode:
Trevor Noah: A Carte Blanche Special
In 2014, Trevor Noah was just a well-known stand-up comedian with a recurring role as a contributor on one of the biggest talk shows in the USA. Now, at 33 years old, Noah is taking on the Big Apple in a big way.
His path from apartheid South Africa to the anchor chair of The Daily Show is the stuff of dreams. As he briefly returns home with a best-selling book already in the bag and sold-out shows around the country, Carte Blanche takes you behind the scenes into the New York life of South Africa’s favourite export.
