(205,531 posts)Both John Oliver and Stephen Colbert carry on the legacy of Jon Stewart's Daily Show. When John took over as host during Jon's hiatus, he did a remarkable job and it was assumed he'd become the next host. Instead, he has a much different show on HBO which seems to better suit his talents - he no longer has to cater to the daily news cycle, but can choose any topic that he believes is important and cover that in depth.
