Just days after Comedy Central announced Trevor Noah as Jon Stewart‘s replacement, people are already calling for him to be fired from his job before he even starts. It seems some Twitter detectives have uncovered some damaging old tweets from Trevor’s account. You might call them racist, sexist even anti-Semitic, some going back to 2009, while others are as recent as last month. Comedy Central wasn’t like aware of these tweets before they hired him. Here’ a good lesson you might want to make note of:
DELETE YOUR OLD, RACIST, SEXIST NOT-FUNNY TWEETS!
But it looks like Comedy Central is standing by their man and they’ve issued this statement:
“Like many comedians, Trevor Noah pushes boundaries; he is provocative and spares no one, himself included. To judge him or his comedy based on a handful of jokes is unfair. Trevor is a talented comedian with a bright future at Comedy Central.”
