Trevor Noah has enjoyed a "liberating" year

He said: "For me, this has been one of the most liberating years mentally and emotionally, because it freed me from a lot of the paradigms and anchors that I had created for myself.

Trevor also admitted one of the best things about working on 'The Daily Show' has been establishing a much-needed routine in his every day life.

He told the new issue of America's GQ magazine: "Sometimes you wake up and you’re like, ‘I don’t want to do this today.’ That’s one of the greatest blessings that ‘The Daily Show’ has given me.

“I don’t want to be the hardest-working man in Hollywood. I don’t want to be on the Forbes list. I don’t want to be part of any of that. Forbes’ Happiest List—put me there if there’s such a thing.”
