During his appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" earlier this year, the South African native expressed contentment and nostalgia about his previous role on television. Per The Blast, he admitted that while he missed many aspects of it, he was more grateful to have left the daily grind behind after almost a decade.

When Colbert asked him how long it took to become accustomed to not having to prepare for the next episode of "The Daily Show" every night, he stated, "You know what, that took, I would say, two weeks, and then I realized, oh no, I don't need to know, I just don't need to know."

Noah shared that his current situation allowed him to decide when he wanted to detach from following the news, a luxury he lacked when he was the host of the Comedy Central show. During his tenure, he had felt compelled to constantly stay updated by repeating a cycle of waking up and watching the news daily. 

Admitting that he did not expect the show to become so demanding when he first took over hosting it in 2015, the "Black Panther" star said:

"Making a daily television show, in many ways, is like planning a wedding. So you're thinking, who are the guests? What are you gonna wear? What's gonna happen? Who's gonna be making a toast? What will the speeches be about? What's everybody eating? Who's sitting where? How's it all going? And then the wedding happens, and then you go, 'Alright, we're doing another wedding tomorrow."

Despite the hassle, the political commentator admitted that he missed the sense of discipline from his previous role.
