Jon Stewart is America's most trusted man....in fake news. 1.3 million viewers tune in to The Daily Show nightly to get the news delivered by Stewart with his tongue firmly planted in cheek. The 45 year old funny man from New Jersey sharpened his wit in the ultra-competitive New York City club scene of the early 90's. After getting turned down for the hosting gig at The Late Show and a series of Hollywood bombs (anyone remember Wishful Thinking?) Jon took over The Daily Show in January of 1999 and hasn't looked back. If the rules for polite conversation are to avoid religion and politics then count Jon out. However his relaxed everyman delivery make him extremely likable even as he skewers the media the government and all else that he and his Daily Show pranksters deem hypocritical. Jon Stewart is a 21st Century truth teller delivering current events looking like a newsman but acting like the court jester.
