The Daily Show was up against top TV hosts including Ellen DeGeneres and RuPaul. Trevor dedicated his award to his mother Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah back home in South Africa. The 33-year-old described Patricia as a “strong black woman” who inspired him everyday.

The MTV movie awards were relaunched this year to include TV categories. Producers also discarded gender awards choosing to include male and female nominees in one category.
