After seven years on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah said goodbye.
Last night during his final episode, Noah bid farewell with an emotional tribute, expressing his gratitude for his live audience, for his audience watching at home, the people who "share the clips" and even the haters.
He then gave a "special shoutout" to Black women, crediting his ideas to his mother, grandmother and aunt.
He tearfully shared:
"If you truly want to learn about America, you talk to Black women."
"Because unlike everybody else, Black women can't afford to f**k around and find out."
"Black people understand how hard it is, when things go bad, especially in America, but any place that Black people exist."
Noah continued:
"When things go bad, Black people know that it gets worse for them."
"But Black women, in particular, they know what sh*t is, genuinely."
"If you truly want to know what to do and how to do it...talk to Black women."

Trevor thanks for given us black women praise 🙏🏾♥️. It is not acknowledged enough how much we hold down. You’ve been absolutely amazing to watch over the years and an inspiration to millions. Following Jon Stewart was no easy task but you made the show your own. All the BEST!

@Trevornoah is a Man and a half. His dedication to the black women in his life is such an honor. They have to be so proud. I'm equally proud as a black woman under the umbrella of his appreciation and understanding of our role in all societies. @TheDailyShow
