Citing a source close to the development, the exclusive report from an international portal suggests that Noah had lunch with Chris McCarthy (President and CEO of MTV Entertainment Group) a day before he shocked viewers by saying “it’s time [to leave],” but he did not speak his exit plans during the conversation.
Moreover, the said source also revealed that the decision was not only hidden from the channel executives, but Noah didn’t inform his team members, producers, and other staff as well.
For those unversed, Noah announced his retirement from ‘The Daily Show’ last month, when he told the audience, “We have laughed together, we have cried together. But after seven years, I feel like it’s time.”

He said, “I’ve loved hosting this show. It’s been one of my greatest challenges. It’s been one of my greatest joys. I’ve loved trying to figure out how to make people laugh even when the stories are particularly (expletive) on the worst days.”
Trevor Noah took over the talk show in 2015 and extended his contract for five years in 2017.
