2025-05-23作為喜劇中心的《每日秀》的長期粉絲，2015年Jon Stewart卸下主持棒時，我很不捨他的離開。我同時也為他的接班人——南非喜劇演員Trevor Noah——感到擔憂。Stewart的風格如此獨特，我實在看不出有誰能接替他的位置——更何況是像Noah這樣一位自稱「局外人」的人。儘管Noah在南非人氣很高，但我不知道他的幽默是否能引起美國觀眾的共鳴。

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A "brilliant" (Lupita Nyong'o, Time), "poignant" (Entertainment Weekly), "soul-nourishing" (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid. Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa's tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man's relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
