In other entertainment news, Briefly.co.za reported that Trevor Noah recently celebrated his birthday 37th birthday. The South African-born comedian was born on 20 February, 1984.
The Daily Show took to Twitter on 21 February to wish the host of the show a happy birthday. The show posted a clip of the superstar roasting the traditional birthday song. The Daily Show captioned the post:
"Happy Birthday @trevornoah, who would like you to take a moment to consider the happy birthday song."
In the clip, Trevor revealed that he never grew up singing the traditional birthday song. He said his mom used to sing Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday and later sang him Donald Duck's birthday song. The TV personality said Disney made their own version of the song in the 80s to celebrate Donald's birthday.
Trevor expressed that the traditional birthday song is like a "death song". He said the song is depressing and is one of the saddest songs he has ever heard.
"It doesn't seem like fun at all."
