With Jon Stewart's reign on The Daily Show officially done, it's time for Trevor Noah to occupy the chair. It's a big seat and big shoes to fill, but the ever-cocky Noah thinks he's up to the task. Nothing backs up the "I got this" attitude than using some Kanye to score your first teaser. That's undermined a little by going with "Power," which has become the most basic choice for mainstream media in everything from product ads to movie trailers. But at least they didn't go with a fart joke, which was a very real fear I had during the slo-mo sitdown. Trevor Noah assumes control on September 28.
