In the Sept. 29 episode of The Daily Show, Trevor remarked how he has been on the show for exactly seven years. He thanked everyone who has been a part of the show for that time and who made his experience so special, gushing with gratitude. But about two minutes into this heartfelt speech, Trevor dropped the bomb that he would be leaving.

“After the seven years, my time is up,” Trevor said as the audience gasped. “But in the most beautiful way. I’ve loved hosting this show. It’s been one of my greatest challenges. It’s been one of my greatest joys.” Trevor made it very clear that he has nothing but love for the show, but that it was just time for him to go on to do different things.
