Another African comedian tickles his way up and joins Comedy Central
Before venturing into comedy Loyiso was in advertising industry.
The Daily Show host Trevor Noah has hand-picked up-and-coming comedian Loyiso Madinga to be the show's African correspondent.
“As wild as Donald Trump is for America, many countries around the world have Trumps of their own and since The Daily Show is in many countries, we thought, why not give each country a chance to show off their stable geniuses?" said Trevor.
Loyiso was selected to join The Daily Show team for his award-winning comedy and conversation skills.
