Trevor Noah Blasts American Health Care System; Host Was Told He Wasn't Allowed To Faint

South African born Trevor Noah experienced the American health care system first hand. The host of "The Daily Show" had an emergency appendectomy Wednesday morning, according to Huffington Post.

Fresh from the hospital on Thursday's show, the host criticized the emergency room process.

"I don't know if 'emergency room' is the right term, since they make you wait," said the comedian. "I feel like there should be two rooms. A room for emergencies, and a room for people who can fill out forms."

Though Noah was feeling intense pain and felt like "dying," a hospital official prodded the host to fill out paperwork, reports Time.

When Trevor started to faint the official told him he couldn't faint where he was. He was taken to another room, where he was asked to fill out more paperwork.

Noah was also asked how he was going to pay for the hospital bill. "With my life, clearly, because you're not helping me," said Trevor.

The hospital official then recognized Trevor Noah. "You know what, I've seen the billboards. You're fine," she told him. "You can pay for this."

Even after Noah's plight in the emergency room, the host had nothing but kind words for his surgeons and well-wishing fans.

Noah is the son of a white Swiss man and a black South African woman. The host comes from Soweto which is South Africa's biggest township and is a popular comedy star in his home country.

Noah moved to the United States in 2011.

31 year old Noah made his debut as an international correspondent in December. He appeared on three different occasions before being offered the role as host, according to BBC.

After 16 years, Jon Stewart stepped down as host of "The Daily Show," with Trevor as replacement.

On September 28, his first show aired and the new host received mixed reviews from critics. Within the first four weeks, ratings rose 20% among young adults aged 18 to 24 years old.

Trevor Noah is the third host of the nightly show.
