Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Comedian Trevor Noah has announced he is standing down as host of The Daily Show.<\/p>\n

Noah said he was “filled with gratitude for the journey” but that there was “another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring”.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old has hosted the satirical news and talk show since taking over from Jon Stewart in 2015.<\/p>\n

He said the timing of his departure would be announced later and that he would continue as host in the meantime.<\/p>\n

Noah began his career in his native South Africa, releasing a string of stand-up specials and hosting a late-night talk show before relocating to the US in 2011.<\/p>\n

He was still a relative unknown when he was chosen to take over the Daily Show on the Comedy Central network, but has since become an internationally-recognised star and won numerous television awards.<\/p>\n

Noah made the announcement at the end of his show on Thursday night, prompting shocked gasps from the studio audience.<\/p>\n

He thanked the show’s crew and loyal fans for an “amazing seven years”, adding: “It’s been wild, truly wild”.<\/p>\n

“I remember when we first started… so many people didn’t believed in us,” he said. “[Appointing me as host] was a crazy bet to make. I still think it was a crazy choice, this random African.<\/p>\n

“I just [find] myself filled with gratitude for the journey. It’s been absolutely amazing. It’s something that I never expected.”<\/p>\n

He said that after everything that has happened during his time hosting the show – including Donald Trump’s presidency and the Covid pandemic – he had decided his “time is up, but in the most beautiful way”.<\/p>\n

“I’ve loved hosting this show, it’s been one of my greatest challenges, it’s been one of my greatest joys. But after seven years, I feel like it’s time,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I realised there’s another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning other languages, I miss going to other countries and putting on shows. I miss just being everywhere and doing everything.<\/p>\n

“I’m really grateful to a network who believed in this random comedian nobody knew on this side of the world.<\/p>\n

“I never dreamed that I would be here. I sort of felt like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I came in for a tour of what the previous show was, and then the next thing I know I was handed the keys.<\/p>\n

“All I can say is thank you very much.”<\/p>\n
