The Daily Show alumni all expressed gratitude to Stewart, who gave all of them their big breaks.
Colbert and Stewart reminisced about the first time they met, at the press conference announcing Stewart as the new host of the Daily Show in 1999, when Colbert asked him a sarcastic question while posing as a member of the press.
The Daily Show, of course, continues on in a different incarnation with host Trevor Noah.
Stephen Colbert gathered his former Daily Show colleagues for a family reunion of sorts, as he, Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Rob Corddy and Ed Helms reconvened on Tuesday’s Late Show to take a trip down memory lane.
