It has only been two months since Jon Stewart left "The Daily Show" after 16 years, but the former host seems to be enjoying his new life, especially his new beard.

"So I grew a beard because everybody who quits a talk show grows a beard," Stewart said at his stand-up show at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, according to CNN Money.

Stewart also invited "CBS This Morning" anchor Gayle King to his farm in New Jersey to talk about his new lifestyle. Lately Stewart's days are filled with driving his two children to school in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon, going to the car wash and most importantly, getting smoothies.

"Do you miss it the way people miss you?" King asked the former "Daily Show" host.

"I miss the people that I worked with," Stewart replied. "I feel like I completed it. When you feel like you complete a project to the best of your ability, when you've done the best that you think you are able to do, all I can do now is be happy that I had that opportunity. The joy is in creating it, in growing it, in evolving it. Maintaining it is the part that when it becomes rote or redundant, then you feel like 'Well, I'm not adding a lot of value to this anymore, am I?'"

Stewart revealed that while he no longer hosts the Comedy Central show, that does not mean he no longer works and does nothing all day.

"I get to write but the flexibility of schedule, it's not like I don't feel productive or creative, but I feel like my life is - now it's like - rather than just painting with three colors I get the whole thing now," he said.
