South African comedian Trevor Noah made history by becoming the first African and black person to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Series.
This category was introduced by Emmy in 2015, and Noah’s win marks an important milestone for representation in the entertainment industry.
The Daily Show host has received his sixth Emmy nomination after being nominated five times in the past.
“It’s amazing that I get to be a part of this journey. It feels like being part of a winning football team,” Noah said after securing the win on Monday night.
Noah has another Emmy award, which he earned in 2017 for an Outstanding Short Form Variety Series.
The Emmy Award is the most prestigious honors in the US television industry.
