Trevor Noah, who has hosted TheDailyShow since 2015, announces his retirement from the series to the shock of the studio audience and crew members.
Trevor Noah will be departing as the host of The Daily Show after seven years. The Daily Show is a late-night talk show and comedy news series that first aired in July 1996. The series rose to critical acclaim over the course of its run, particularly in the early 2000s, and has received dozens of awards. Since 2001, The Daily Show has been nominated for 64 Emmy Awards, of which it has won 24, including Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Series.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY When The Daily Show first began in 1996, it was hosted by comedian Craig Kilborn. Kilborn left the series in 1998 to replace Tom Snyder on The Late Late Show, Kilborn was replaced by Jon Stewart in 1999, who notably skyrocketed The Daily Show's popularity. Stewart was largely responsible for creating the current format of The Daily Show, which includes humorous coverage of current events, with a larger focus on politics.
“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 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.”
How Trevor Noah's Exit Will Affect The Daily Show In his statement, Noah reflects on the toll the pandemic took on him, as he was hosting The Daily Show from his own apartment for two years rather than from the studio. Noah says that while being the host for The Daily Show was an incredible journey, he was missing out on other parts of his life, including touring the world for his stand-up comedy shows.
After Stewart's departure in 2015, other potential candidates for the Daily Show position included Amy Schumer, Louis C.K., Chris Rock, and Amy Poehler - many of whom have since garnered controversy for different reasons. With no set date for Noah's retirement as of yet, it may be some time before The Daily Show gets a new host, and with them, a fresh take on the series. Either way, audiences now know to make the most of Noah's final shows, as he will surely do the same.
