According to a well-informed source, Trevor Noah is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the television host's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 21/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Noah for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 40-year-old television host, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Noah so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the television host have already been named ‘South African Of The Year’ by some major South African newspapers and even ‘Johannesburg Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Johannesburg (Trevor Noah's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the television host was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Trevor Noah Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 20 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Trevor has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 20 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Trevor Noah?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Trevor Noah?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
