Congratulatory messages of pride and support have been pouring in for Trevor Noah from his fellow South Africans all over the planet…as television viewers in America, and parts of the world, get ready for the South African comedian’s debut on Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show’ in a few hours’ time.

Whilst Trevor will be alone in that chair, he has the whole of South Africa behind him, willing him on to do well for himself…and for Africa.

Just over an hour ago Comedy Central uploaded a time lapse of tonight’s set being built (see below) and the station’s website uploaded a video of Trevor Noah’s “dream” come true (a classic, which is also below).

The television network is going all out to ensure that as many people as possible get to view the big debut tonight, with extra channels including MTV airing the show.

‘The Daily Show with Trevor Noah’ premieres at 11:00 pm New York time tonight, and will be available to stream tomorrow on thedailyshow.com and the Comedy Central App.

This morning Trevor did an interview with NBC News discussing tonight’s show and the “elephant” in the room…

Trevor says that tonight’s first episode will be “getting to know each other. And the best way to get to know each other on any date is to talk about things, and figure out how you feel about each other.”

His first guest is actor/comedian Kevin Hart. Later in the week he will interview Whitney Wolfe, founder and CEO of Bumble, Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ), Republican Presidential Candidate, and musician Ryan Adams.

Here are just some of the messages being sent to Trevor from his South African compatriots:
