"I would sit there and say, 'Wow, you hate me, you really hate me. I’ve done nothing to you, but you hate me.'"

Trevor said he eventually felt the urge to leave the show:

"It was time [to leave]. Part of it comes from where I'm from. In South Africa, TV shows end, and it's not because it's bad, it just ends. The network offered more, but I said it was time.

"During the pandemic, I made my life about work, and everything was secondary. I would see my friends if I did not have work. I asked myself, 'What else could I do?' I wanted to learn more things and spend more time in South Africa with my family. I wanted more."

Speaking on The Diary Of A CEO, Trevor described his experience on The Daily Show as "terrible" despite all he learned and achieved as host, including his Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series.
