Trevor Noah’s ‘The Daily Show’ picks up seven Emmy nominations

By Zuko Komisa

Trevor Noah’s ‘The Daily Show’ picked up seven Emmy Award nominations on Tuesday.

The awards are presented annually and honour artistic and technical merit in United States television.

The late-night series received seven nominations, including one for Outstanding Variety Talk Series.

Since Noah took over from Jon Stewart in 2015, The Daily Show has never garnered seven nominations at once.

Showrunner, Executive producer and writer Jen Flanz, spoke to Deadline News and said she is thrilled for everyone on The Daily Show team and the work they have put in the last year.

“I’m so thrilled for everyone on The Daily Show team and incredibly lucky to be part of a place where we can laugh, cry, debate and create together to bring some perspective and humor to this hectic world. I’m grateful for the support of Paramount, MTVE and Comedy Central and truly appreciative for Trevor, who is as wonderful to work with off camera as he is on. Being recognized by our peers for the work we’re so privileged to do each day feels like getting an extra cherry on top of gravy… which sounds gross, but don’t knock it ‘till you try it,” said Flanz.

Noah took to social media to celebrate the nomination.

When @thedailyshow gets nominated for 7 Emmys!!! 😱🤯😱Just wow!! Thank you for the incredible honour @TelevisionAcad! 🙏🏾 And a big congrats to @thedailyshow team and to Chris McCarthy and the whole Viacom / Comedy Central fam! I told you we work well together! 🙌🏾🕺🏾🔥 https://t.co/xPTwCessdj
