Taking to his personal Instagram account, Trevor Noah shared a teaser from the special filmed at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena in Canada. In the video, Trevor is seen walking onto the stage with the audience cheering.

Elated fans reacted in droves in comments under the teaser post, with some citing that the wait for the special is finally over.

Trevor Noah’s ‘Daily Show’ Departure
In September the internationally renowned comedian announced his exit from The Daily Show after a seven-year run.
According to Comedy Central, the Emmy-winning television host’s last appearance on the show will be on 8 December and the show will subsequently go on hiatus until 17 January.
To commemorate the occasion, Comedy Central will air The Daily Show’s round-up of Noah’s seven-year run with a look back at his greatest moments.
Though the comedy channel has not found a replacement to fill Trevor’s show, it promised it would be “utilizing a rotating array of hosts on show after the program returns from a hiatus”.
