Trevor Noah is departing "The Daily Show" after seven years. The comedian, 38, announced during a taping of the long-running Comedy Central show Thursday that he will be leaving the comedic current-events program.
"I remember when we first started ... so many people didn't believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make. I still think it was a crazy choice, this random African," said Noah, who hails from South Africa. "What a journey it’s been. ... It’s been absolutely amazing. It's something that I never expected."
He added: "After the seven years, my time is up, but in the most beautiful way, honestly. I’ve loved hosting this show. ... But after seven years I feel like it's time." Noah's announcement earned a standing ovation from the masked studio audience. A Comedy Central spokesperson said in a statement Thursday that there is no timetable for Noah's departure and that the network is working with him on next steps.
