Trevor is not a stranger to the awards as he won his first gong last year in the Best Short Form Variety Series category for his YouTube comedy special, The Daily Show: Between the Scenes.
This year, he’s up against Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Britain's James Corden. The South African-born comedian, took to Twitter to share his excitement over the news of the nomination.
"To all the people who voted for us and to all who watch our show I could not be more grateful," Trevor wrote.
Wow, I visited Russia for 3 days and now The Daily Show is nominated for 3 Emmys. Next time I should stay for a week and then run for president 😄
