We’ve known for about a month now that Jon Stewart’s final Daily Show would take place on August 6, but we now have a premiere date for the big debut of Trevor Noah. New York Times entertainment reporter Dave Itzkoff tweeted the following earlier this morning:

UPDATE: Comedy Central has just released this official trailer:
