Never heard of him either.

But the producers have a pretty good track record of selecting talent.

Noah was born in South Africa ...

I see the similarities already.

You know about the upcoming Kenya trip, right?

I didn't stop laughing for two minutes.

Looks like Trevor's made some jokes on his Twitter feed over the last few years. Jokes which are now being labeled as anti-Semitic, anti-obese, anti-gay, and anti-keep-searching=I'm-sure-he-didn't-stop-there. So the backlash (and retweets) is under way.

The best comment I've seen on the situation was David Frum's, who noted that no one at Comedy Central seems to know how a search engine works.

If he's anti-PC, he'll get my vote.
