2. The Daily Show Return: In December 2015, months after his departure from the show, Stewart returned as a surprise guestand used the opportunity to promote a great cause; the renewal of the Zadroga Act, which provides health care to 9/11 first responders.

3. Full Frontal with Samantha Bee: In June, Stewart made a cameo on the former Daily Show correspondent's satirical TBS series.

4. The Late Show With Stephen Colbert—Part 1: In September 2015, a month after leaving The Daily Show, Stewart made his first cameo on the CBS series during Stephen Colbert's debut, appearing as a baseball umpire in a videotaped segment showing the new host singing the national anthem.
