Trevor Noah Grace the Cover of Time Maga ‘Next Generation Leader’

Time Magazine is mostly known for its influential covers and top 100 lists, with the likes of Nelson Mandela making it on almost six covers since 1990.

Daily Show host Trevor Noah is the latest South African to make it onto the international weekly, after being placed amongst some US comedy big wigs in a September cover about the ‘seriously partisan politics of late night comedy.’

Wow it looks even crazier on a news stand. Look mom, I'm on the cover of Time magazine.
