Trevor hitchhiked home from church with his mother and infant brother. The driver of the car they were in was hounded by the minibus driver, so they agreed to ride with him. Trevor's mother was harassed and threatened by the mini bus driver, so she pushed him out of the vehicle and leapt off herself, covering his baby brother.
Trevor Noah's extraordinary journey from apartheid South Africa to The Daily Show's desk began with a criminal act: his birth.
Trevor was born in a period when a union between a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother was punishable by five years in prison.
Because of his "criminal" status as a mixed-race child, Trevor spends much of his childhood indoors, frequently alone.
He is a clever young man who finds unique methods to occupy himself and is quite analytical. He is raised by women, like are many other youngsters in his neighborhood.
For the first nine years of his life, he was the only son, and his light skin tone allowed him to avoid punishment from everyone save his mother.
Trevor's skill to evade punishment develops into arrogance as he takes risks, first as a minor shoplifter at the mall, then as a hired errand runner at school, and finally as a professional hustler "in the ghetto."
