Early Monday morning it was announced that Trevor Noah, a 31-year-old comedian from South Africa, would be replacing Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show."
Noah, who has appeared on "The Daily Show" only 3 times, is a standup comic who regularly sells out massive stadiums in South Africa.
But now the internet seems to be turning on Noah, after a deep dive into his Twitter feed revealed jokes that just seemed more offensive than funny.
BuzzFeed's Tom Gara unearthed most of the tweets, the majority of them from 2011 and 2012.
Weird that Trevor Noah didn't do a quick twitter cleanup before getting the job.

- Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) November 28, 2011well I can totally see why you'd want this guy to host a television show https://t.co/JCaWYWc5Ib
- Leah Reich (@ohheygreat) March 31, 2015Not entirely sure how I feel about Noah. His Twitter jokes suck, but his appearances on the Daily Show have been pretty good.
- Peter Sterne (@petersterne) March 31, 2015Pegging the over/under of when Trevor Noah deletes his Twitter account at 10 hours. Place your bets.
- Josh Spiegel (@mousterpiece) March 31, 2015i see we've reached the point of the trevor noah news cycle where we retweet the problematic tweets
- Jeb Lund (@Mobute) March 31, 2015Everything you ever wanted to know about Trevor Noah RT @DLoesch: @EWErickson He sucks. That's all.
- Scott (@ScottyE_FL) March 31, 2015If u, 20-smthing journo sitting in an ivory tower, think Trevor Noah's jokes from 3yrs ago are bad, I challenge u to come up w/ better ones
- Eli Epstein (@EliEpsteinYO) March 31, 2015We can take comfort in knowing Trevor Noah's existing Daily Show segments were already terrible, so his firing will be no great loss
- Abraham Riesman (@abrahamjoseph) March 31, 2015I retweet not in anger. But it's an impressive rise for a dude who three years ago was replying to Uberfacts tweets with dick jokes.
- Tom Gara (@tomgara) March 31, 2015Prediction: tomorrow will not be kind to @Trevornoah.
