If you’re a fan of the hit show ‘Catfish’, I have some really sad news!  Max Joseph, who is known as the show’s co-host AND director has announced that he’s officially leaving the show.

 

 

 

After his seven-season run, Max has made the decision to continue on as a filmmaker.  In an Instagram post, Max says, “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.  Nev 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.  With Catfish still going strong after 7 seasons, 115 episodes, 31 specials and showing no sign of slowing down, I feel it is finally the time for me to make my exit.”

In a sweet response, host Nev explained, “Working with Max on #Catfish has been a blast.  What started as a casual friendship quickly turned into a brotherhood.  Over the last six years I’ve learned as much about the internet and society as I have about myself.  Max being there and helping me through every step of the way.  He’s my bestfriend.  Period.  And of course one of the best colleagues anyone could hope for.”

Won’t lie – Max was the reason why I always tuned into the show.  He was funny, captured every important moment on camera and his comebacks were hilarious.
