Controversy: Within hours of his announcement as Stewart's successor, several jokes were brought to light on his<br />

Twitter feed that some people deemed offensive to women, Jews, and Asians. Noah responded, "To reduce my views to<br />

a handful of jokes that didn't land is not a true reflection of my character, nor my evolution as a comedian," he tweeted.<br />

Comedy Central stood behind Noah, saying in a statement, "Like many comedians, <strong>Trevor</strong> Noah pushes boundaries; he is<br />

provocative and spares no one, himself included... To judge him or his comedy based on a handful of jokes is unfair. <strong>Trevor</strong><br />

is a talented comedian with a bright future at Comedy Central."Mary Kluk, chairperson of the South African Jewish Board<br />

of Deputies, said that the jokes were not signs of anti-Jewish prejudice and that they were part of Noah's style of comedy.<br />

She stated, "The SAJBD wishes him all the success and wisdom that he will require in his new position, and is confident<br />

that he will do our country proud." Source: Wikipedia.
