“The lady’s like, ‘Can you fill out the form?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, no, I’m dying.’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, but I need you to fill out the form first, ‘” Noah said. One minute Trevor Noah had an exploding appendix, the next he’s being sliced open and then he’s back on Thursday evening’s “Daily Show”. After a day of surgery, he returned with an unbelievable story from the front lines of the nation’s healthcare system.

Trevor Noah is back on track and it seems like an appendectomy is not enough to stop him from throwing hilarious political quips. “I feel like there should be two rooms”, Noah went on, “a room for emergencies and a room for people who can fill out forms”.
“She was like, ‘I don’t know – how are you paying for this?'” Noah said.
‘The best message I got was, “Is it Comedy Central or the cotton fields?”‘ Noah recalled, before bursting out laughing. The show was put on hold, and Comedy Central issued a statement supporting Trevor and revealing that no new episodes will air until after he returns home from the hospital and recovers. The network actually told him to take as much time as he needed. While asking The Daily Show host about whether or not he had insurance, he looked at him and said: “You know what?”
Noah underwent the surgery on Wednesday morning.

While all seems well for the new phase of “The Daily Show”, it also seems like its former host of 15 years Jon Stewart found a niche that where he can start all over again. Comedy Central tapped the popular South African comedian in early March.
