Trevor Noah returns to stand up full time.
Trevor Noah has announced that he is stepping down as the host of ‘The Daily Show.’ In a video
shared on Twitter, the comedian stated that his time was up after hosting the comedy show for
the past seven years. He indicated that he wants to dedicate more time to stand-up comedy and
pursue hobbies such as traveling and learning new languages.
Noah, a South-African stand-up comedian, joined ‘The Daily Show’ in 2015. As a newcomer, he
replaced Jon Stewart, a longtime host of ‘The Daily Show.’ Despite being new to the American
audience, Noah quickly established his brand. He was able to position himself to have online
influence.
His seven years reign on ‘The Daily Show’ covered crucial moments in global and American
history. He covered key moments, including the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter
that rose after the murder of George Floyd.
Communicating to his studio audience, Noah pointed out how spending two years in his
apartment during the Covid-19 pandemic time impacted his decision to leave. He observed that
the pandemic finished the stand-up comedy, and when he got back, he realized that stand-up was a part of his life he would love to continue exploring.
He appreciated his audience, the ‘The Daily Show’ team and the Central Comedy for the
opportunity and being there for him during the last seven years.
Even though he has confirmed leaving, Noah did not specify when his final ‘The Daily Show’
will be held. For the time being, we will still enjoy his show.
