People like John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, Steve Carell, etc.

Trevor Noah didn't have as strong a supporting cast, the last time I checked. I stopped watching it after awhile, then dropped cable entirely soon thereafter.

Edit: Stewart stepped down in August 2016, which fits for me. I dropped my cable subscription not long after Trump was declared the winner in November. I couldn't stand the idea of seeing him constantly on cable, as had happened before the election.
