Chalking up the best talk series Emmy win for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” as merely a part of the ceremony’s overall tardiness is easy enough to do. When Noah claimed the award on Jan. 15, more than a year had passed since he ceded his time behind Comedy Central’s nightly news satire’s desk.
This was also the first ever Emmy for Noah’s “Daily Show.” During his seven-year tenure "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" received 17 nominations in various categories, but Television Academy voters rewarded “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” instead time and again.
