Ferrell had noted that, although he was well known for his ''SNL'' impersonation of President George W. Bush, he chose, for both professional and political reasons not to meet the President on several occasions, unlike his SNL predecessor Dana Carvey's famous relationship with George H. W. Bush: "I declined, partly out of comedic purposes, because when I was on the show ''Saturday Night Live'' at the time, it didn't make sense to really meet the people that you play, for fear of them influencing you.

Until Trevor Noah permanently took over the show in 2015, Stewart hosted almost all airings of the program, except for a few occasions when correspondents such as Stephen Colbert, Rob Corddry, Jason Jones, and Steve Carell subbed for him, and during John Oliver's stint as host during the summer of 2013. Stewart won twenty Primetime Emmy Awards for ''The Daily Show'' as either a writer or producer, and two for producing '' The Colbert Report'' (2013–14), earning a total of twenty-two Primetime Emmy Awards, the most wins for a male individual.
Beginning June 10, 2013, ''The Daily Show'' correspondent John Oliver assumed primary hosting duties during Stewart's break.
The hour-long-plus final ''Daily Show'' on August 6 featured reunions with former correspondents Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Hasan Minhaj, Ed Helms, Kristen Schaal, Larry Wilmore, Jessica Williams, Aasif Mandvi, Lewis Black, John Hodgman, Rob Corddry, Olivia Munn, Josh Gad, Michael Che, and Mo Rocca and cameo video clips from people Stewart had targeted over the years, including Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, John Kerry, Chuck Schumer, Bill O'Reilly, Wolf Blitzer, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski.
Stewart and correspondent John Oliver later poked fun at his lackluster reception on ''The Daily Show'' coverage of the 79th Academy Awards by saying that the "demon of last year's Oscars had finally been exorcised".
Among comedians who say they were influenced by Stewart are Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Hasan Minhaj, Samantha Bee, Larry Wilmore, Bassem Youssef, Trevor Noah, and Jordan Klepper.
