Trevor Noah wins Outstanding Talk Series at Emmys for ‘The Daily Show’
Trevor Noah's 'The Daily Show' secures its first Emmy win for Outstanding Talk Series, marking a milestone in the comedian's journey as host.
Jon Stewart, beloved host of “The Daily Show,” delivered a touching tribute on Monday, dedicating his final segment to the memory of his loyal companion, Dipper, who had passed away on Sunday. Emotions ran high as Stewart fought back tears while sharing the heartbreaking news with his audience.
Describing Dipper as more than just a pet but a cherished family member, Stewart recounted the day they first met at an animal shelter in New York City over a decade ago. It was meant to be a simple fundraiser visit with his children, but fate had other plans. Dipper, a resilient three-legged pitbull who had endured hardship after being hit by a car, captured their hearts instantly.
Reflecting on Dipper’s unwavering presence in his life, Stewart reminisced about the joyous moments they shared, both on and off-screen. Dipper became a regular at “The Daily Show” studio, patiently waiting for Stewart to finish tapings, and even mingling with celebrities and dignitaries, including Malala Yousafzai, whose encounter with Dipper backstage provided a lighthearted moment amid global tensions.
