Comedy Central announces Trevor Noah’s last day hosting The Daily Show

Comedy Central announced today that the Emmy®-winner and GRAMMY nominee Trevor Noah will be bidding farewell to The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Thursday, December 8th.

Leading up to his departure, the Emmy®-winning franchise will honour Noah’s seven-year run with a look back at his greatest moments. 

During his seven-year tenure as host, Noah has moved The Daily Show seamlessly from insightful, hilarious satire to serious, provocative conversations, meeting society’s moments of unrest and uncertainty with clarity and conviction. Whether it was tackling presidential campaigns, police violence, and systemic racism or navigating a global pandemic, he has entertained and enlightened audiences through his unique voice and perspective. 

“Trevor has made us proud, as Africans. During his time on the Daily Show, he has not only represented our continent on a global stage, but he has also opened doors for other South Africans like Loyiso Madinga who was the first African correspondent to do Daily Show segments for our market. His journey and achievements will inspire many for years to come. We celebrate him as he moves on to his next chapter.” Said Monde Twala (Senior Vice President of Editorial and General Manager Paramount Africa and Peer Lead, BET International)

Trevor is an incredible talent who has left an indelible mark on The Daily Show and we’re grateful for his creative partnership over the past seven years.

– Chris McCarthy (President & CEO at Paramount Media Networks and MTV Entertainment Studios)

“Chris (McCarthy) has been an amazing leader and partner who has helped me realize my dream of working not just in front of the camera, but also behind the scenes, producing content which now airs across the Paramount family,” said Trevor Noah. “I’m truly excited to see what the future holds.” 

The Daily Show airs Tuesdays-Fridays at 11:30 p.m. CAT on Comedy Central, DStv channel 122.
