Under host Jon Stewart,
The Daily Show has launched a number of once little-known actors into big time notoriety in a manner evocative of how
Saturday Night Live turned the likes of Gilda Radner, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell into household names. For
The Daily Show, the likes of John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrel all got their start on this satirical program before leaving the show and becoming much more well-known individuals. That seems to be the career trajectory Jessica Williams is aiming for after she left The Daily Show just last June and got her first starring role in a major motion picture,
The Incredible Jessica James.
