One of the most loved talk show hosts Trevor Noah has finally bid adieu to ‘The Daily Show’ on December 9th, 2022. Noah was an outstanding critique of the social circumstances in the United States, and he provided his perspective in a very stinging, satirical manner. He has interviewed some of the most interesting personalities including former US President Barack Obama. After seven glorious years, he departed from the show.
In September 2022, the host, in one of the episodes of ‘The Daily Show’ announced that he will be signing off from his hosting duties. The South-African media personality took over the reins from Jon Stewart in 2015, and since then he continued the legacy of Comedy Central’s show. He cited the reason for his sudden departure to continue his amazing stand-up comedy work. It is still unclear who will replace Trevor. The show not only boosted his brand but also helped to boost his net worth. So, how much money did he receive manning the desk at ‘The Daily Show’?

In September 2022, after holding the hosting responsibilities for seven years, Trevor Noah announced his exit. During one of his episodes on ‘The Daily Show’, he said, “It’s been absolutely amazing, it’s something I never expected. I found myself thinking about the time–everything we’ve gone through, the Trump presidency, the pandemic, the journey of…more pandemic. And I realized that after seven years, my time is up”.
The host rose to fame by hosting various awards gigs and featuring on South African television, and finally, in 2015, he started his journey hosting ‘The Daily Show’. He said, “I’ve loved hosting the show, it’s been one of my greatest challenges, it’s been one of my greatest joys”. The reason he was quitting the show was to get back on the road again and reinvigorate his stand-up career which gave him all the accolades, love, and a show.
Trevor said, “I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road, standup was done, and when I got back out there again, I realized there was another part of my life that I wanted to carry on exploring. I miss learning other languages, I miss going to other countries and putting on shows”.
When Noah started hosting the show, he bagged $5 million to $8million per season. According to Style Caster, after the renewal of his deal in 2017, he started earning $16 million per season. This means he earned approximately $44k per episode.
