The South African comedian, who was recently announced as the new host of the US Daily Show, made the headlines for the most unusual reason.

False reporting?

The Sunday Times reported that Noah’s so-called cousin Cebisile Happiness Khoza died over the weekend, and that her body was found in a field not far from Greytown in the KwaZulu Natal. The claim was apparently confirmed by Noah’s grandmother Nomalizo Noah. The article continued with the statement that Nomalizo Noah believed that their family was cursed due to the bad fortune that befell the women of the family. This was in reference to Noah’s mother, Patricia who was viciously shot by her husband in 2009.

Family Feud?

In the end, the truth did come out. Noah used social media to announce that he and his family were the victims of “creative journalism” and that they spent hours trying to discover who had passed away.

“Thanks to some crafty journalism my family and I have spent the whole day trying to figure out which one of us died #awkward he said.

“Don’t always believe what you read. This is something I learned from aliens when I travelled to Mars last year” he added.

Apparently, the woman who died was not related to him, and his grandmother’s words were taken out of context. The Sunday Times insisted on the truth of their story despite Noah’s denial, causing plenty of confusion.

“They are just creating stories out of – [nowhere] now they want to use Trevor and I on their front pages? It’s silly” Nomalizo Noah later told the press.

The sad truth is that someone passed away, and whoever she was, may she rest in peace.
