In a new video released on Comedy Central, Noah is seen getting comfortable in Stewart's chair on the show's set -- rehearsing possible jokes until he notices Stewart looming behind him.
The South African-born comedian, 31,appeared on The Daily Show as a contributor several times before being named Stewart's official successor.
