Trevor Noah on the cover of his comedy special "It's My Culture" Last year my family and I lived in South Africa for about three months. Within 48 hours of being there, complete strangers started asking us if we'd ever heard of Trevor Noah. For the remainder of our unforgettable time there, next to people asking us if we were Americans, the most frequent question we heard, every few days, was whether not we had taken the time to watch one of his comedy specials.
