Trevor Noah, a comedian and TV personality from South Africa, has formally resigned as The Daily Show’s host.
Earlier, Trevor had stated that he would be leaving the program in September at the conclusion of the current season.
On Thursday, the 38-year-old gave a heartfelt goodbye address, reflecting on his earlier days as a presenter, when the crowd was too small to be completely filled.
I appreciate each and every one of you, he said.
“I’m really appreciative. I recall that when we first launched the show, we had trouble getting an audience big enough.
He expressed gratitude to those who “hate to watch” the show for raising the viewership.
In his moving statement, Noah made a point of expressing his gratitude to a black woman who, in his words, served as the source of his “wonderful ideas.”
This may seem random to some people, but Black women get a special shout-out, he stated. I’ve frequently received credit for these wonderful concepts. People always say, “Trevor, you’re so brilliant,” and I always respond, “Who do you suppose taught me? Who do you believe has fostered, fed, and created me? ”
“I constantly advise folks to speak with Black ladies if they really want to understand America. Black women, in contrast to everyone else, cannot afford to f**k about and find out.
The hosts of the new season, which premieres in January 2023, will include a number of well-known visitors, however his replacement has not yet been officially announced.
Trevor relocated to South Africa in 2002 to begin his career. With the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), he held numerous presenting positions. In 2008, he placed second in South Africa’s fourth season of Strictly Come Dancing.
The Daily Show’s Senior International Correspondent since 2014, Noah took over for longtime host Jon Stewart in 2015.
