Jon Stewart is considered one of America's top social and comedic voices. From his anchor chair on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," "Stewart has breathed new life into a show that hadn't even seemed to need it," said The New York Times. Since taking over as the host of "The Daily Show" in January, 1999, Stewart's presence has seen higher ratings and awareness for himself, as well as the network. As host of The Daily Show, Stewart has interviewed such luminaries as former President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Kerry, John McCain, John Edwards and Bob Dole and such celebrity icons as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis.

Alumni

Stephen Colbert "Even Stevphen", "This Week in God", "The Jobbing of America". Although no longer a cast member of the Daily Show, Colbert currently appears at the end of almost every show in a promo for The Colbert Report (usually Colbert previewing the content of his show and quipping at Stewart). Born and raised in South Carolina, Colbert began making a name for himself in Chicago as a member of the famed Second City improv troupe where he met Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello.
Steve Carell In 1999, he became a correspondent on The Daily Show, appearing in recurring sketches like "Even Stevphen" (opposite Stephen Colbert) and "Produce Pete with Steve Carell". He remained a regular on the show until 2004.
Carell returned to The Daily Show on March 23, 2005, for a humorous piece on the second anniversary of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
