Trevor Noah’s shock ‘The Daily Show’ exit
On 30 September, the comedian announced that he would be stepping down as host of The Daily Show after seven years.
“My time is up,” the 38-year-old Noah said in video on the Twitter account of Comedy Central’s satirical news programme.
He cited as reason that he missed travelling and touring with stand-up comedy after being grounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road,” he said. “I realised there’s another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring.”
Noah will officially leave The Daily Show on 8 December, according to Geo TV.
