JAWN STUART FOR PERSIDENT1!! seriously though... the only reason the daily show is damn good were the original correspondents - namely steve carrell and stephen colbert. I'm intentionally leaving out Vance Degenitals since his pieces were the epitome of shit. The legacy is somehow carried by Ed Helms and Rob Cordry, who should get a flake of credit somewhere after Stewart ends his 5 run at the end of this year.

You can also thank the upright citizens bridage in NY for bringing such wonderful talent to the forefront of TV. We need more shows like this instead of crap like The Graham Norton Effect or Wanda Does It!
