As co-creator of The Daily Show and during her tenure as head writer, Lizz Winstead helped shape the way an entire generation consumed the news, and she saw amazing talent come through the door. Several years later, the show has produced prominent voices in satire and news like Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver. In our Facebook Live interview with Winstead, she discussed her feelings about all the spin-offs The Daily Show has produced, and offers praise for Trevor Noah’s tenure.
