America (The Book) has two other main authors, Ben Karlin and David Javerbaum, along with other writers of The Daily Show. Karlin was the show's executive producer and Javerbaum its main writer. Their perspectives are reflected in the book, but the show is better known for its famous correspondents, many of whom have gone on to become famous in their own right (in particular, Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert). Three of The Daily Show affiliate reports make contributions to the book, Ed Helms, Samantha Bee and Stephen Colbert.
