Trevor Noah’s time on “The Daily Show” is coming to a close, the Los Angeles Times has confirmed.
While taping the series on Thursday, Noah revealed to his audience that he will be departing the late-night series. He started his statement reflecting on his time on the late-night program, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year , and how he found himself “filled with gratitude for the journey” of hosting the series.
“It’s been absolutely amazing. It’s something that I never expected. And I found myself thinking throughout the time, you know, everything we’ve gone through, the Trump presidency, the pandemic, just the journey of, you know, the more pandemic,” he said. “And then, and I realized that after the seven years, my time is up.”
Seven years after taking the helm from former host Jon Stewart, Noah said, “It’s time.”
