During the final episode of The Daily Show, Trevor was emotional when bidding farewell and expressed his gratitude to the millions who have watched the show.
“Honestly, most importantly, I’m grateful to you. Every single one of you. I remember when we started the show, we couldn’t get enough people to fill an audience. Then I look at this now, I don’t take it for granted, ever. Every seat that has ever been filled to watch something I’m doing I always appreciate because I know the empty seat that sits behind it. Thank you people who watch, people who share the clips, everyone’s who’s had an opinion
“Special shout out to black women. I’ve often been credited for having these grand ideas. Who do you think teaches me? My mom, my gran.”
