The 38-year-old concluded his seven-year tenure as host of the Comedy Central series by thanking all the Black women in his life who took the time “to inform me, educate me, and argue with me.”
Noah also thanked members of the audience and those who have been watching the show since its inception.
He also gave “special recognition” to “black women,” saying they “shaped, nourished, and taught” him.
“I’m grateful to you, every single one of you,” he said.
“I’m so grateful. I remember when we started the show, we couldn’t get enough people to fill an audience.
“This is random, for some, but a special shout-out to Black women. I’ve often been credited with having these grand ideas. People are like, ‘Trevor, you’re so smart.’
“I’m like, ‘Who do you think teaches me? Who do you think has shaped me, nourished me and formed me?
“I always tell people, if you truly want to learn about America, talk to Black women. Unlike everybody else, Black women can’t afford to f**k and find out.”
In 2015, the author of Born A Crime took over as host of the politically charged show. Before leaving, he hosted for seven seasons.
While his replacement has not been announced, the show will be anchored by a series of celebrity guest hosts at the start of the next season in January 2023.
