Trevor Noah Announces He’s Leaving The Daily Show | Watch Video

South African comedian and TV host, Trevor Noah has announced that he will be leaving “The Daily Show.”

He made the announcement during Thursday’s episode of the Comedy Central late-night series saying to a stunned audience, “I realised after seven years, my time is up, but in the most beautiful way, honestly.”

It should be recalled that the Daily Show was previously hosted by Craig Kilborn from 1996 to 1998 and then moved to Jon Stewart from 199 to 2015 when Noah stepped in to become the host.

According to the 38-year-old actor, his time as host of the show have given him the oppotunity to create countless unforgettable memories.

“I’ve loved hosting this show. It’s been one of my greatest challenges. It’s been one of my greatest joys. I’ve loved trying to figure out how to make people laugh even when the stories are particularly s–ty on the worst days. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together. But after seven years, I feel like it’s time.”

Noah indicated that the pandemic allowed him to see his life in a new light.

“I spent two years in my apartment not on the road. Stand up was done. When I got back out there again, I realized there’s another part of my life I want to carry on exploring,” he said. “I miss learning other languages. I miss going to other countries and putting on shows. I miss just being everywhere doing everything.”

Noah wrapped things up by explaining that no plans are in place for his immediate exit, and thanked his viewers for their loyalty.

“We’ll figure out the timings and the whens. We’ll still be here for the time being,” he said. “But all I can say is thank you very much. You’ve truly made this one of the best experiences of my life.”

The studio audience responded with a long, rousing standing ovation.

“We are grateful to Trevor for our amazing partnership over the past seven years. With no timetable for his departure, we’re working together on next steps,” Comedy Central said in a statement. “As we look ahead, we’re excited for the next chapter in the 25+ year history of The Daily Show as it continues to redefine culture through sharp and hilarious social commentary, helping audiences make sense of the world around them.”
