I think Samantha Bee might be the true successor to Stewart. Her commentary is hilarious and spot on.

About Paul Spoerry
I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

OMG so funny!
Stewart was accelerated though a prism splitting his personality spectrum over a few different shows. I think for the most part she represents the "righteous fury" aspect.
Yeah and I thought she was a daily show… but she's weekly just like John Oliver who's also wickedly funny. I think that their pieces get to hit a little more because they have more time for the bits and more time to research.
Indeed, Both really focus on one issue a week, and it works.
The Daily Show was/is always more a collection of smaller things which I guess is the nature of "news".
Still, I think its really interesting the impact the show had on the tv landscape.
