Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, said he was leaving the program after taking over from Jon Stewart seven years ago.
What happened to Noah: We cried together, we laughed together, and we cried together. After seven years, my time is up. He said I've loved hosting the show and it has been one of my greatest challenges and it has been one of my greatest joys.
Noah said that his stint included the presidency of Donald Trump, the Pandemic and more. The comedian said there is another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring and mentioned that he had been doing stand-up comedy and touring.
Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder and Microsoft co-founder, congratulated Noah Thursday on his stint at the show.
Gates said he had played tennis with Noah in Cape Town and he can't wait to see what he does next.
Why It Matters: Comedy Central stated in a statement on Noah's departure that there was no timetable for his departure, but they are working together on next steps, reported The New York Times.
The cable channel said it was excited for the next chapter of The Daily Show. According to the Times, there is no clear winner who will replace Noah as the next host of the show.
Recently, Noah said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was becoming the Republican Party and stealing the tricks of Trump and making them his own.
