Over the last 14 years, The Daily Show has become a comedic institution with a far reaching influence that has really affected the American comedy scene far more than anyone could have imagined it would have. The show itself is one of the most popular shows on satellite tv, and is also one of the most popular news outlets for young people these days. Yet in addition to the show’s success, it has also helped promote the careers of many comedians who got their big break by starting as correspondents on The Daily Show. Prior to the show’s existence, Saturday Night Live was the only major comedy show to launch so many comedians into bigger careers, but the show has really pushed people like Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell, and Ed Helms to go onto bigger comedy projects. Whether you live in Seattle, Boston, or anywhere in between you can catch up with these great comedians using satellite internet.

Ed Helms left The Daily Show in 2006 to become a major character on NBC’s The Office alongside his former Daily Show co-star Steve Carrell. On The Office, Helms plays the awkwardly funny Andy Bernard, which resembles many of the other awkward characters he has lent his comedic talent to on so many other projects. You can definitely find some of Helms’ work on satellite tv because has had small roles on many other tv shows such as Tanner on Tanner, Arrested Development, Cheap Seats: Without Ron Parker, Sunday Pants, The Colbert Report, Samurai Love God, Upright Citizens Brigade: Asssscat, American Dad, and Family Guy. He has also appeared in or lent his voice to many national commercials for major corporations. Helms has also had a successful transition over to the big screen as he has been in many films including Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story, Everyone’s Hero, Evan Almighty, I’ll Believe You, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Semi-Pro, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Meet Dave, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Lower Learning, Monsters vs Aliens, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and The Hangover.

In 2005, Stephen Colbert left The Daily Show to start his spin-off, The Colbert Report, on the same network, Comedy Central. On the show, Colbert plays a fictionalized, conservative newscaster who shares his real name. The show appears after Stewart’s The Daily Show, and includes many different segments and interviews. The show has been so successful that Colbert was invited to be the comedian at the White House Correspondents dinner in 2006. You can also catch up with Colbert by watching Strangers with Candy on your satellite tv, which was a comedy show he appeared on earlier in his career.

Steve Carrell has arguably had the most successful career of any Daily Show alum. Since leaving the show in 2005, Carrell has played the main character, a bumbling and inefficient office manager named Michael, on NBC’s The Office. You can find Carrell’s work on your satellite tv as has also starred in many successful Hollywood films such as Bruce Almighty, Anchorman:The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Evan Almighty, The 40-Year-Old-Virgin, Bewitched, Over the Hedge, Little Miss Sunshine, Knocked Up, Dan in Real Life, Horton Hears a Who, and Get Smart. Most recently, you can find him starring alongside Tina Fey in the film Date Night.
