Trevor Noah announced he is leaving 'The Daily Show' during his Thursday episode.
"I realized that after seven years, my time is up," heHe thanked his fans for an"amazing seven years" that have been"truly wild."
"I remember when we first started... So many people didn't believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make. I still think it was a crazy choice." he said."And what a journey that it's been." Noah took over for former host Jon Stewart, who left the show in 2015. At the time, the South African comedian was not well-known in the United States and faced what he would later call an uphill battle to win over audiences."It's been one of my greatest challenges. It's been one of my greatest joys," Noah said in his goodbye on Sept. 29."We've laughed together, we've cried together... But after seven years I feel like it's time.
"With no timetable for his departure, we’re working together on next steps,” the network 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.”
Noah, for his part, said he hopes to see more of the world around him. He said in his announcement that he hopes to travel, perform and learn more languages after leaving the show."The point is, I want to say thank you," he concluded."Because man, I never dreamed that I would be here."
