Mzansi’s Trevor Noah has decided it’s time for the curtain to come down on his tenure as the longtime host of The Daily Show.
Noah announced Thursday that he is leaving the late-night talk show after a seven-year stint.
He said during a live taping of the show, "One of the overriding feelings I found myself experiencing … was a feeling of gratitude."
"There are so many people who make this thing come together, and I want to say thank you to the audience for an amazing seven years," he continued. "It's been wild. 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… What a journey it's been."
What plans he might have in the pipeline he did not say.
He ended his announcement by saying, "I've loved hosting the 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 even when the stories are particularly s----- on the worst days. We've laughed together, we've cried together. But after seven years, I feel like it's time."

Yes we know, it’s going to be quite a wait, but no doubt worth it.
