NEW YORK — Trevor Noah, who went from being an unknown quantity to American TV viewers to a smart, satirical voice on Comedy Central, signed off from "The Daily Show" for the final time Thursday.
Noah was reflective and subdued in front of a live audience at the studio on Manhattan's West Side where the show is taped, often speaking at length about a seven-year sojourn that began when Jon Stewart handed over the host chair of the influential comedy talk show.
Stewart welcomed Noah into the fold in late 2014 after his producers brought the South African native's comedy to his attention. Nine months later he became the program's third host as Stewart moved on.
