The 36-year-old took to Instagram to share the bittersweet news (along with several throwback pics of his time on the show): “Hey guys, the time has come, sadly, for me to move on from Catfish. Working on this show for the last seven years has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’ve learned a lot about myself, my country and human nature in general.”

He continued, “Co-host Nev Schulman and I have become brothers and our bromance has blossomed before your eyes. For a while now I have been straddling two careers as TV host and filmmaker and, while this level of busy-ness is a dream come true, my life can no longer sustain it.”

“Although I have a heavy heart, I am also excited for everything that’s to come—for myself, for Nev, for our crew and for the show. Thank you for watching, thank you for the love, the memories, and the memes. Don’t be a stranger. You know where to find me. ✌?❤ It really was a f**king blast and I am eternally grateful for every second of it.”
