Trevor Noah announced that he’s leaving The Daily Show after seven years as host, revealing the news during Thursday night’s show.

“It has been seven years since we started The Daily Show With Trevor Noah,” he shared. “This week is our anniversary. And one of the overriding feelings I found myself experiencing throughout the night, and even today waking up, is a feeling of gratitude.” He added that “there’s so many people who make this thing come together” and said, “I want to say thank you for an amazing seven years. It’s been truly wild.”

“Everything we’ve gone through: the Trump presidency, the pandemic. Just the journey of, you know, more pandemic. I realized after seven years that my time is up,” Trevor continued. “But in the most beautiful way, honestly. I’ve loved hosting this show. It’s been one of my greatest challenges. It’s been one of my greatest joys. I’ve loved trying to figure out how to make people laugh when the stories are particularly shitty on the worst days. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together. But after seven years, I feel like it’s time.”

It’s unclear what Trevor’s next steps will be, but he said that he misses “learning other languages,” “going to other countries and putting on shows,” and “being everywhere doing everything.” Meanwhile, Comedy Central tells Variety that there is “no timetable for his departure” and they’re working on “next steps.”
