Trevor Noah capped his final season as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah”.
The comedian, who had hosted the show since 2015, stepped away from the anchor chair at the end of 2022, citing a desire to travel and tour more.
‘The Daily Show’ premiered in 1996 with Craig Kilborn as host. Jon Stewart took over from 1999 to 2015, when he handed the reigns to Noah.
In 2022, while bidding adieu to ‘The Daily Show’, he recalled how the show has been loved across different countries including India.
“What a journey it’s been… The show has grown around the world. I recently went to India for the first time and people there supported everything that we have done on the show. I found myself filled with gratitude for the journey. It’s been absolutely amazing. It’s something that I never expected,” he had said.
The Emmy award ceremony is currently being held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were originally scheduled for September 2023 but were pushed back due to the Hollywood strikes. (ANI)
