The Daily Show
In 1999, he became a correspondent on The Daily Show, appearing in recurring sketches like "Even Stephven" (opposite Stephen Colbert) and "Produce Pete with Steve Carell." He remained a regular on the show until 2004.
Carell returned to The Daily Show on March 23, 2005, for a humorous piece on the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
While there, he also recorded two guest appearances as "Produce Pete" which aired on April 4, 2005, and May 3, 2005 (and was credited as a contributor).
He returned to the show as the guest on August 15, 2005, declaring that he was officially no longer with the show, ending speculation that he might return as a regular player.
Carell did his second guest appearance on June 18, 2007 to promote Evan Almighty.
Carell appeared once again, a year later on June 18, 2008, as a guest on the show to promote his newest movie, Get Smart. He joked about wanting to buy the show since he was now "very, very rich."
