"I Have Been Straddling Two Careers" — Why Max Joseph Left Catfish, Explained

For the first seven seasons of Catfish: The TV Show, Nev Schulman and Max Joseph served as hosts, but why did Max leave Catfish? The reality TV show focused on the infamous idea of catfishing, which is when someone pretends to be someone else online and tricks another person into a romance or suckers them out of money. The series itself was based on the 2010 film Catfish, which tells Nev Schulman's experience of being catfished by a woman he met on Facebook.
