KOSIK: "The Daily Show" is back with a new host. Trevor Noah, a comedian from South Africa, got right to work on the premiere episode last night.</s>TREVOR NOAH, "DAILY SHOW" HOST: The truth is now I'm in the chair and I can only assume this is as strange for you as me. Jon Stewart was more than a late night host. He was our refuge and political dad. It's weird because dad has left and now -- and now it feels like the family has a new stepdad. And he's black.</s>KOSIK: So how did he do? The show is getting good reviews in the U.S., but how are people back home reacting? CNN's David McKenzie is live in Johannesburg. David, what kind of reaction are you getting?</s>DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Alison. It is a sigh of relief. South Africans are happy he took the helm of "The Daily Show." He is well known here as a comedy act. The reviews have been good and some mixed. He managed to scrape through and in fact could be a great host. We went to Soweto where his grandmother still lives. Trevor Noah was born in the '80s to a white father and black South American mother. He likes to say he was born a crime and his granny told us, well, he was funny even during those dark days of South Africa, and she believes he'll be a huge success -- Alison.</s>KOSIK: All right, David McKenzie, thanks for that.</s>ROMANS: An influential billionaire coming out in full support of Donald Trump. Why this billionaire says Trump is the president America needs.
