4. Steve Carell

Steve Carell is arguably the most successful alumni of The Daily Show. He bounced from his five year correspondent role on the show to star in the American version of The Office, playing buffoon boss Michael Scot to perfection. He has since had numerous roles in box office hits like Little Miss Sunshine, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Get Smart. Most recently he took a dramatic role in Foxcatcher and is up for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Not bad for a guy who used to be Produce Pete.
