In a searing address against Donald Trump, late-night talk show host Trevor Noah has compared the US President to "cancer".

"The Daily Show" presenter gave a surprise performance at the inaugural Barbara Berlanti Heroes Gala honouring "Arrow" star Stephen Amell and F- Cancer co-founder Yael Cohen Braun.

Noah narrated an incident involving one of his close friends who beat cancer.

"He said, 'Trevor, cancer is like, it's a scary thing because they first tell you about it, you don't believe it is happening. You know that it exists and you don't ever believe it's something that can happen to you.

"It's something that's scary and you think it's only affected you but it's affected everyone around you and it seems like it's the end and for some people it is, but for others, it isn't. All you know is that you hate it every single day.' I was like, So, wow, cancer is Donald Trump," the host, who is a vocal Trump critic, said.

"It's pretty wild. He generally is. He's a cancer," he added.
