Jon Stewart will forever be known as the face of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, but he wasn't the first man to sit in that anchor chair, -- and he certainly won't be the last. 

But with the surprise announcement by Stewart this week that he would be leaving the post he has held since January 11, 1999 (2,503 episodes at time of press), the question of who will take the torch and carry on the show's legacy -- remains.

When Stewart took the reins from Craig Kilborn in 1999, he affected a culture change at The Daily Show.  The new product would grow to transcend comedy, and elevate itself to rival the level of journalism provided by network news outlets.  In fact, according to a 2014 Brookings Institute study, 8 percent of all Americans consider The Daily Show to be their most trusted television news source.  According to a 2009 Rasmussen Report, that number skyrockets to 32 percent within the Under 40 demographic.
