The Daily Show’s host, comedian Trevor Noah, has announced his resignation. However, Noah acknowledged that there was “another aspect of my life that I want to keep on exploring” even if he was “full of appreciation for the adventure.”
Since replacing Jon Stewart as the host of the satirical news and conversation program in 2015, the 38-year-old has served as the host.
Trevor Noah stated that he will continue to serve as host while the timeframe of his departure was announced later.
Before migrating to the US in 2011, Noah started his career in his native South Africa, where he produced several stand-up specials and hosted a late-night chat show.
When he was chosen to take over the Daily Show on the Comedy Central network, he was still relatively unknown, but he has since gained international fame and won multiple television prizes.
After his show on Thursday, Noah made the surprise, drawing shocked gasps from the studio audience.
He expressed gratitude to the cast and the show’s devoted viewers for “an extraordinary seven years,” adding, “It’s been wild, truly wild.”
When we first started, he recalled, “so many people didn’t believe in us.” “It was a reckless bet to make to choose me to be the host. This random African still seems like a weird choice in my opinion.
“I’m really overwhelmed with thanks for the journey. It’s been very incredible. I never anticipated that to happen.”
After all that has occurred during his tenure as the show’s host, such as Donald Trump’s election as president and the Covid pandemic, he claimed that he has decided that his “time is over, but in the most beautiful way.”
He said,
“This show’s hosting has been one of my greatest challenges and delights, and I have loved every minute of it. But I believe the time has come after seven years”.
“I came to the realization that I want to continue exploring another aspect of my life. I miss expanding my linguistic horizons, traveling, and performing abroad. I miss simply moving about and doing things.
“I’m really appreciative to a network for having faith in this unknown comedian on the other side of the globe.
“Also, I never imagined I would be in this situation. I had a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-type of feeling. I had just arrived for a tour of the last concert when I was suddenly given the keys.
