He began his comedy career while out with his cousin and a friend in a South African bar. They were both inebriated when they began heckling a comedian. When the comedian challenged them to perform on stage, they chose Trevor. He went on stage to avoid looking like a “scaredy cat” and discovered that people laughed when he spoke.
He started his career as a radio host. His “Noah’s Ark” show aired on Gauteng’s youth radio station. Following his announcement of taking over The Daily Show, he referred to Jon Stewart as a major influence (1996).

Because the original version contained some profanity, he wrote an adapted version that did not contain any profanity so that children could read it.
