Josh Lieb, who helped lead "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" to four Emmy wins for outstanding variety, music or comedy series, is leaving the show to write a workplace comedy for NBC and Warner Bros.
Lieb joined the show in 2006 as co-executive producer and was an executive producer from 2009-2010.
The show also announced Tuesday the promotions of four veteran staffers: Steve Bodow, Jennifer Flanz and Jim Margolis were promoted to co-executive producers, Tim Carvell to head writer and Pam DePace to supervising producer.
Bodow, Carvell, DePace, Flanz and Margolis have held several positions at the show, and worked together on the show’s much-praised “Indecision” coverage of the midterm and presidential elections, live election night specials, and the October “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, which drew 250,000 people to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Bodow joined the show in 2002 and has been a writer, head writer and supervising producer. Carvell began in 2004 as a writer. DePace started in 1996 and was a production manager and line producer. Flanz joined in 1998 as a production assistant and moved steadily up the ladder to become an assistant production coordinator, production coordinator, production manager, coordinating producer and supervising producer. Margolis joined in 2001 as a field producer and progressed to senior producer and supervising producer.
Lieb is the author of the books "I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil" and "I Want to Be Your Class President," and contributed to the bestseller "Earth (The Book)."
He worked on the show for four of its last eight consecutive Emmy wins for outstanding variety, music or comedy series — a record in the category.
