South Africa: Trevor Noah to Leave The Daily Show After Seven Years
In a shocking announcement, popular South African comedian and host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah has said that he is going to leave the program after hosting it for seven years.
The 38-year-old comedian made the surprise announcement to his studio audience during a taping of the show. “We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together… After the seven years, my time is up but in the most beautiful way. I’ve loved hosting the show, it’s been one of my greatest challenges, it’s been one of my greatest joys,” Noah said.
Noah took over the hosting of the satirical show back in 2015 when Jon Stewart left.
According to The Guardian, “his reign on The Daily Show on Comedy Central required him to delicately cover some crucial moments in American history, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol”.
