Oprah Winfrey loves Trevor Noah, and Trevor Noah loves Oprah Winfrey!

The pair met in Santa Barbara after Oprah attended Noah's Off the Record standup show on Saturday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl.

The media mogul watched the show with US screenwriter and director Scott Sanders and Tabitha, a member of her Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG).

"Can't remember when I've had a happier Saturday night," Oprah wrote alongside photos on Instagram, including one of her and Noah.

The South African comedian also shared a photo with Oprah as evidence. He captioned the snap: "Just in case PIC OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN is still a thing. Thank you Oprah and everyone else that came out to the shows in Santa Barbara this weekend!"
