A day in the life of Trevor Noah, who doesn’t want to peek behind the scenes?

Sure most of it is taken up with mocking Donald Trump and other U.S. political follies (see his brilliant presidential debate wrap HERE), but there’s more to the hosting gig at The Daily Show than meets the eye.

The team at VICE followed T-No around and weren’t shy of snapping a picture, but we’ll start with their write-up:

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is a much bigger production than you’d think from just watching it on TV. Each episode is crafted in a studio in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhood over the course of ten intense hours.

The days start with Noah and his team of collaborators in the writers’ room, where they hammer out and workshop ideas. And it ends a few feet away on a sound stage with Noah behind a desk, telling jokes to a live audience of more than 200 fans and more than 7 million viewers across the internet and TV.

Over to the images captured by photographer Meron Menghistab:

There are plenty more snaps to be seen HERE – keep it up Trevor, always good to see a local lad make it big.
