Trevor Noah scores MTV Movie & TV Awards nomination

Just two months after fears that his The Daily Show could be pulled off air, Trevor Noah has stuck it to the haters with a Best Host nomination at this year's prestigious MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Reports in March claimed that American broadcast service provider AT&T-DirecTV was planning to drop Comedy Central and 22 other channels.  The decision would have seen The Daily Show being yanked off screens and Trevor took to social media shortly after the reports surfaced to ask fans to call in and tell service providers they simply can't do without his show.

In the end, AT&T-DirecTV didn't cut the channel and Trevor's show has gone from strength to strength.

And on Tuesday Trevor scored another victory when his name was among the Best Host nominees at the MTV Awards.

Trevor will go up against Gayle King, Nick Cannon and RuPaul in the category.

The SA-born comedian won his first Emmy two years ago for his YouTube comedy special The Daily Show: Between the Scenes. 

Trevor has not said anything about the nomination just yet.
