While other past "Daily Show" correspondents have gone on to series TV and films (like Steve Carell) or to other comedic talk shows (like John Oliver and Stephen Colbert), when Wyatt Cenac left "The Daily Show" at the end of 2012, he returned to his first love: standup.

He went back to the circuit, doing shows at clubs and guest spots on people's podcasts (basically online radio shows). But his biggest piece of work was a full-length standup special, "Brooklyn," that premiered on Netflix last year.

Not surprisingly, "Brooklyn" is about the New York City neighborhood that Cenac calls home.

He discussed it as well in his first standup special, "Comedy Person," which aired on Comedy Central in 2011, while he was still on "The Daily Show."

Cenac hasn't just limited himself to standup, though -- he still dabbles in film and TV.

For example, last year he co-starred in the indie comedy films "Growing Up and Other Lies" and "Hits" (the latter written and directed by fellow standup comedian David Cross).

Cenac has also done guest voice roles on cartoon series "The Venture Bros." and "BoJack Horseman." In between all of this, he also found time to pop back in to "The Daily Show" a couple of times.
