TREVOR NOAH: WHAT'S NEXT? Noah, who took over as host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show in 2015 after the exit of Jon Stewart, said he feels like it's time to leave after seven years.
--
We have laughed together, we have cried together. But after seven years, I feel like it's time, announced Noah on Thursday.
He also shared he wanted to devote more time doing stand-up comedy again.
I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. Stand-up was done, and when I got back out there again, I realized that there's another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring, he added.
The comedian thanked everyone for supporting him, receiving a standing ovation from the studio audience.
His exact departure date and who will replace him as host, is still unclear at this stage.

The network told Variety:
We are grateful to Trevor for our amazing partnership over the past seven years. With no timetable for his departure, we're working together on the next steps. 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.
