I for one welcome our new South African news-satire overlord. 
... Never heard of the guy before today, but based on a few clips I'm definitely optimistic: he seems like he has an upbeat, positive energy to soften the inevitable exasperation the job entails, and his foreign identity ought to free him to take a lot more surprised delight in our eccentricities than any fellow American plausibly could, and, in the wake of Stewart's departure, a bright and cheerful persona could go a long way toward avoiding a post-Jon slump. Congrats to him!
