Trevor Noah exits The Daily Show as a host after seven years

Trevor Noah, a comedian, is leaving The Daily Show after seven years.

After Jon Stewart left The Daily Show in 2015, Trevor Noah took over as host.

He expressed a desire to devote more time to stand-up comedy. Noah: I stayed in my apartment for two years instead of travelling.

Stand-up was completed. I realized there is another aspect of my life that I want to continue exploring.

Noah did not specify a specific departure date. It was unclear who would succeed him.

On social media, The Daily Show shared a clip of Noah’s remarks.

“We’ve laughed and we’ve cried together.” “But, after seven years, I think it’s time,” Noah told his studio audience late Thursday.

“I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. Stand-up was done, and when I got back out there again, I realized that there’s another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring,” he added.

He ended his remarks by thanking his viewers as his studio audience stood up to applaud him.
