Bee joined the show in 2003 and contributed biting, hilarious segments on topics like abortion, child labor and women in the military over the years. She always demonstrated a knack for backing her political and philosophical opponents into a corner until they articulated their own notions in the most absurd way possible, fell speechless, or admitted, “When you put it that way, it does sound rather arrogant, myopic, narrow-minded and bigoted.” She’s leaving to host [her own comedy series](http://time.com/3734995/samantha-bee-will-host-a-new-tbs-comedy-series/) on TBS alongside her husband Jason Jones, a fellow _Daily Show_ veteran. ### See Jon Stewart's Most Memorable Guests On The Daily Show  Kurt Vonnegut appeared on the show in 2005, one of his last public appearances.
