Looking back on what the show has been through, he mentioned the pandemic and the Donald Trump presidency.
"I found myself thinking throughout the time of everything we've gone through - The Trump presidency, the pandemic, just the journey, more pandemic - and I realised that after seven years, my time is up," he said.
He thanked the audience, saying he never dreamt of being where he was.
He revealed that he got the job unexpectedly.
"I came here for a tour of what the previous show was and then the next thing I was handed the keys," said Trevor, adding that the show was one of his greatest challenges and joys.
