He captured the hearts and minds of the American people during the second presidential debate.

Now Ken Bone has a new admirer to add to his growing list - The Daily Show host Trevor Noah. 

'After the debate, some people say that Trump won because, honestly, he managed to distract attention from his p***** grabbing scandal,' Noah said last night on The Daily Show.

'And some people say Hilary Clinton won because she made sense.

'But it's clear who really won. Because in the middle of that historically nasty debate, an exhausted nation cried out to God, "throw us a bone", and he did.'

Nearly 67 million people tuned into the debate, but the real star, said Noah, was Kenneth Bone, a power plant worker from Granite City, Illinois.

'I love Ken Bone, I love this guy so much and it's not just me. For two days all of America has been experiencing a non-stop Ken B****,' Noah said.

Wearing a red cable-knit sweater and glasses, Bone changed the pace of the debate between Trump and Clinton on Sunday.

Instead of asking questions about attitudes towards women or private email servers, the mustachioed power plant worker focused on energy instead.

His manner and fashion sense also won the admiration of viewers.

On The Daily Show, Noah played a clip in which Bone said that voting for Donald Trump might be better for him financially, but it could also mean that certain Americans have their rights taken away from them.

'If [Trump] is allowed to appoint the next Supreme Court nominee, there is a good chance we could lose some of the rights we have fought for,' said Bone.

'Okay, two things I love about his guy: One, everything,' Noah said in response to the clip.

'Two, he's not just thinking about his own interests in this election.

'With all the negativity we've been exposed to throughout the campaign, Ken Bone seems like an actually decent person.'

But it's not just his attitude towards voting that Noah loves. Ken's mesmerizing style is also a hit with The Daily Show host.

'You know, right now Hilary's campaign is analyzing everything about him,' said Noah.

'She's going to show up in the third debate with a red sweater and a fake mustache.'

In another clip, Bone reveals that before the debate, he only had seven Twitter followers.

Two of these were his grandmother, after she created another account when she forget her password.

'Bone isn't just a ray of honesty in this hurricane of bull****,' said Noah.

'He's also a one man basket of adorables.'
