Trevor Noah speaks from the heart as he departs The Daily Show

Trevor Noah has farewelled The Daily Show after a 7 year run.

He thanked the fans who have supported him over the last seven years.

“Every seat that has ever been filled to watch something that I’m doing, I always appreciate ’cause I know the empty seat that sits behind it, so thank you,” he said. “Thank you to the people who watch, the people who share the clips, everyone who’s had an opinion, everyone who’s been kind enough and gracious enough.”

Ronny Chieng took the stage to share what’s trending on social media. “You know what’s trending right now, my feelings,” he told the host. “You saved me from having to work with amateur producers from Australia and Singapore.” Chieng added, “The whole time it felt like it was us two immigrants coming together to tell Americans what’s wrong with them, which they always appreciate.” After visibly getting emotional, Chieng joked with Noah that it was a lie, he wasn’t actually sad, and instead asked, “Can I be the new host?”

Noah also reflected on the Black women who have shaped his life.

“I’ve often been credited with having these grand ideas,” the host said. “Who do you think teaches me? Who do you think has shaped me, nourished me, informed me? My mum, my grand, my aunts, all these Black women in my life.”

The show screened in Australia on Comedy Central through Fetch TV.
