New ‘Daily Show’ host Trevor Noah attracts controversy for tweets about Jews and women

Newly minted "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah is already facing his first scandal.

The South African comedian is drawing the ire of Twitter for messages he posted years ago — which are gaining attention with Monday's news that he will succeed Jon Stewart later this year — making jokes about Jews, Asians and women.

The offending tweets were first picked up by BuzzFeed business editor Tom Gara, and the Internet quickly responded, calling Noah anti-Semitic and sexist. Tuesday morning Noah (who has 2.1 million followers) tweeted a response "Twitter does not have enough characters to respond to all the characters on Twitter," which was quickly deleted, according to a screenshot.

Noah, 31, has appeared on "The Daily Show" only three times since joining the satirical news program last December. Born to a black mother and white father, much of his humor derives from growing up biracial in post-apartheid South Africa.

He is well-known in his native country and around the world (he is currently in Dubai for a stand-up comedy tour), but not in the US, where he has made a handful of appearances on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and "Late Show With David Letterman."

A Comedy Central spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
