What most viewers didn't realize is that what made Jon Stewart's Daily Show so great - was the huge A caliber writing staff & contributors behind it.

All who have gone onto bigger things, like:

- Stephen Colbert (has his own show now)

- Jon Oliver (has his own show now)

- Samatha Bee (has her own show now)

- Larry Wilmore (has his own show now)

- Steve Carell (movies/own show)

- Hasan Minhaj (who had his own show and probably the best "Daily Show" like spin off)

... and many more
