Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962) is an American comedian, writer, producer, director, political commentator, actor, and television host. The long-running host of
Stewart started as a
Stewart hosted the 78th and 80th Academy Awards. He is the co-author of the best-selling satirical books America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction in 2004,[3] and Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race in 2010. He executive produced The Colbert Report (2005–2014), The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (2015–2016), and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (2015–present). In February 2024, he returned to The Daily Show for Monday episodes, as well as in the role of an executive producer.[4]
After leaving The Daily Show, Stewart maintained a low profile in entertainment industry circles, but used his celebrity and voice in a sustained advocacy for
Early life and education
Stewart was born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz at Doctors Hospital in the Upper East Side of New York City. His father Donald Leibowitz (1931–2013) was an energy coordinator for the New Jersey Department of the Treasury,[8][9][10] and his mother Marian Leibowitz (née Laskin) was a teacher and later an educational consultant.[11] Stewart's family is Ashkenazi Jewish (Polish-Jewish, Ukrainian-Jewish, Belarusian-Jewish, and possibly Lithuanian-Jewish); his parents had immigrated to the United States from Europe. One of his grandfathers was born in Manzhouli, present-day China.[12] He is the second of four sons, with older brother Lawrence[13] and younger brothers Dan and Matthew.[9][14]
Stewart's parents divorced when he was eleven years old, and Stewart was largely estranged from his father.[11] Due to his strained relationship with his father, he dropped his surname and began using his middle name alone, stating: "There was a thought of using my mother's maiden name, but I thought that would be just too big (of) a 'fuck you' to my dad.... Did I have some problems with my father? Yes. Yet people always view [changing my surname] through the prism of ethnic identity."[15] He had his surname legally changed to "Stewart" in 2001.[15][16] In 2015, he described his relationship with his father as "still complicated" in light of his father's death two years earlier. Stewart and his brother Lawrence, who was previously the chief operating officer of NYSE Euronext (parent company of the New York Stock Exchange),[13][17] grew up in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.[11] Stewart has stated that he experienced much antisemitism as a child, having been bullied frequently due to his Jewish identity.[18] He describes himself in high school as "very into Eugene Debs and a bit of a leftist."[19] Stewart grew up in the era of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, which inspired in him "a healthy skepticism towards official reports." His first job was working with his brother at a Woolworth's store, and has jokingly said that being fired by Lawrence was one of the "scarring events" of his youth.[15] He has also credited renowned television producer Norman Lear as someone who "raised me."[20]
After graduating from
After college, Stewart held numerous jobs: a contingency planner for the
Career
1986–1992: Standup and early career
With a reputation for being a funny man in school,[11][29] Stewart returned to New York City in 1986 to try his hand at the comedy club circuit, but could not muster the courage to get on stage until the following year.[32] He made his stand-up debut at The Bitter End, where one of his comedic idols, Woody Allen, also began.[33] He began using the stage name Jon Stewart by dropping his last name and changing the spelling of his middle name, Stuart, to Stewart. He often jokes that it was because people had trouble pronouncing Leibowitz, or it "sounded too Hollywood" (a reference to Lenny Bruce's joke on the same theme).[34] He has implied that the name change was due to a strained relationship with his father, with whom Stewart no longer had any contact.[30]
Stewart became a regular at the

1994–1997: Film and other TV work
Stewart's first film role was a bit part in the box-office bomb,
In 1996 Stewart hosted a short-lived talk show entitled, Where's Elvis This Week?, that was a half-hour, weekly comedy television program. It aired on Sunday nights in the United Kingdom on BBC Two. It was filmed at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City and featured a set of panelists, two from the UK and two from the United States, who discussed news items and cultural issues. The show premiered in the UK on October 6, 1996; five episodes aired in total. Notable panelists included Dave Chappelle, Eddie Izzard, Phill Jupitus, Nora Ephron, Craig Kilborn, Christopher Hitchens, Armando Iannucci, Norm Macdonald, and Helen Gurley Brown. In 1997, Stewart was chosen as the host and interviewer for George Carlin's tenth HBO special, George Carlin: 40 Years of Comedy.[47] Stewart had a recurring role in The Larry Sanders Show, playing himself as an occasional substitute and possible successor to late-night talk show host Larry Sanders (played by Garry Shandling).
1998–2015: The Daily Show
In 1998, Stewart hosted the television special,
Later that year when Craig Kilborn left the show to replace Tom Snyder on The Late Late Show, Stewart began hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central. The Daily Show blends humor with the day's top news stories, usually in politics, while simultaneously poking fun at politicians, newsmakers, and the news media. In an interview on The O'Reilly Factor, Stewart denied the show has any intentional political agenda, saying the goal was "schnicks and giggles" and that "[t]he same weakness that drove me into comedy also informs my show", meaning that he was uncomfortable talking without hearing the audience laugh.[50] In his first Daily Show on-air appearance on January 11, 1999, Stewart told his guest that evening, Michael J. Fox, that he felt as if "this is my bar mitzvah".[51] His style was described by one critic as, "Stewart does not offer us cynicism for its own sake, but as a playful way to offer the kinds of insights that are not permitted in more serious news formats that slavishly cling to official account of events."[52]
He appeared in
Until Trevor Noah permanently took over the show in 2015, Stewart hosted almost all airings of the program, except for a few occasions when correspondents such as

This symbol of American ingenuity, and strength, and labor, and imagination and commerce, and it is gone. But you know what the view is now? The Statue of Liberty. The view from the South of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty. You can't beat that.[58]
In mid-2002, amid rumors that David Letterman was going to switch from CBS to ABC when his contract ran out, Stewart was rumored as Letterman's replacement on CBS.[59] Ultimately, Letterman renewed his contract with CBS.
In late 2002, ABC offered Stewart his own talk show to air right after
In 2005, Comedy Central reached an agreement with Busboy in which Comedy Central would provide financial backing for the production company. Comedy Central has a first-look agreement on all projects, after which Busboy is free to shop them to other networks.[62][63] The deal spawned the Daily Show spin-off The Colbert Report and its replacement, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. Other projects include the sitcom pilot Three Strikes, the documentary Sportsfan, the series Important Things with Demetri Martin, and the film The Donor.[64] In 2007, Stewart voiced Mort Sinclaire, former TV comedy writer and communist, on Stephen Colbert's audiobook version of I Am America (And So Can You!).[65]

In March 2010, Stewart announced that he had optioned rights to the story of journalist Maziar Bahari, who was imprisoned in Iran for 118 days.[78] On June 6, 2011, episode of The Daily Show, Stewart again hosted Bahari, and in March 2013, he announced that he was leaving the show for 12 weeks to direct the film version of Bahari's 2011 book, Then They Came For Me. Stewart's screenplay adaptation is entitled, Rosewater.[79][80] It premiered at the September 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, receiving "generally favorable" reviews,[81] and was released to general audiences on November 14, 2014.
In 2010, Stewart and The Daily Show writing staff released a sequel to their first book entitled, Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race. The book is meant to serve as a Baedeker travel guide for an alien civilization that discovers Earth after humanity has died out, most likely by its own hands.[82] In April 2010, Comedy Central renewed Stewart's contract to host The Daily Show into 2013.[83][84] According to a Forbes list of celebrities in 2008, he was earning $14 million a year.[85] The New York Times opined that Stewart is "the modern-day equivalent of Edward R. Murrow"[86] and the UK national newspaper The Independent called him the "satirist-in-chief".[87] In an interview, Senator John McCain described Stewart as "a modern-day Will Rogers and Mark Twain".[88][89]
On the show of January 10, 2011, Stewart began with a monologue about the shootings in Tucson, Arizona.[90] He said he wished the "ramblings of crazy people didn't in any way resemble how we actually talk to each other on television".[91] Before a commercial break, Stewart told viewers that the show would continue as usual the next night. After the commercial break, the show featured a rerun of a field piece done by Jason Jones two years earlier.[92]
In March 2012, Stewart interviewed Bruce Springsteen for Rolling Stone.[93] Writer Wyatt Cenac said that Stewart cursed him out after Cenac acknowledged he was uncomfortable about a June 2011 Daily Show bit about Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain (reported in July 2015).[94][95]
In March 2013, it was announced that Stewart would be taking a 12-week hiatus from The Daily Show to direct the film
The Daily Show departure
During a taping of the show on February 10, 2015, Stewart announced he was leaving The Daily Show.[102] Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless confirmed Stewart's retirement with a statement.[103] Later, it was announced that South African comedian Trevor Noah would succeed Stewart as the host of the show.[104] On April 20, 2015, Stewart indicated that his final show would be on August 6, 2015.[105]
On July 28, 2015, Darren Samuelsohn of Politico reported that twice, Stewart had been at the White House for previously unreported meetings with President Obama: once in October 2011 and once in February 2014.[88] Michael D. Shear of The New York Times also picked up on the story.[106] Stewart responded on his show by pointing out that the meetings were listed in the president's publicly available visitor log and that he has been asked to meet privately by many prominent individuals, including Roger Ailes of Fox News. He said Obama encouraged him not to make young Americans cynical about their government and Stewart said that his reply was that he was "skeptically idealistic".[107]
On June 19, 2015, in the wake of the
On August 5, 2015, Stewart's friend of 30 years, comedian Louis C.K., was selected to be the last guest before the final Daily Show episode with Stewart helming the show. C.K. joked that he was there "representing comedy to say good job".[110]
The hour-long-plus final Daily Show on August 6 featured reunions with former correspondents Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Hasan Minhaj, Ed Helms, Kristen Schaal, Larry Wilmore, Jessica Williams, Aasif Mandvi, Lewis Black, John Hodgman, Rob Corddry, Olivia Munn, Josh Gad, Michael Che, and Mo Rocca and cameo video clips from people Stewart had targeted over the years, including Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, John Kerry, Chuck Schumer, Bill O'Reilly, Wolf Blitzer, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski.[111] During the final episode, there was a pre-taped behind-the-scenes look at the show spoofing the long-take Copacabana scene from Goodfellas, featuring a brief appearance by Martin Scorsese.[112] It concluded with a performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.[113]
2015–2023: Standup and Apple TV+ series
He also guest starred in the animated series American Dad!, and The Simpsons as well as the children's television series Between the Lions, Sesame Street, Jack's Big Music Show, and Gravity Falls. After Stewart's departure from The Daily Show, he was listed as an executive producer on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[114][115] In addition, Stewart has presented occasional comedic monologues filled with political and media commentary.[116][117][118][119]
In November 2015, it was announced that Stewart signed a four-year deal with
In July 2017, HBO announced Stewart would produce a stand-up comedy special for the network, his first stand-up special since 1996.[126] In 2018, Stewart and Dave Chappelle joined forces for a duo comedy tour in the United States, and across the United Kingdom.[127] Stewart performed standup in the 13th Annual Standup for Heroes event alongside John Oliver and Hasan Minhaj.[128]
On directing, Stewart noted on
After his contract with HBO ended, Stewart signed a multi-year show deal with Apple. On September 30, 2021, Stewart's new series, The Problem with Jon Stewart, premiered on Apple TV+. The series featured hour-long, single-subject episodes. In addition to hosting the show, Stewart served as executive producer through his company, Busboy Productions.[134] The show was canceled after two seasons, allegedly due to Apple executives disagreeing with coverage of China and artificial intelligence.[135] Apple's cancelation attracted criticism from the United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.[136]
In July 2022, a Politico writer named Juleanna Glover wrote an op-ed titled "If Tucker Runs in 2024, Here's Who the Democrats Need." In the op-ed Glover called for Stewart to run for president in 2024. Stewart promptly responded to the viral article with a Tweet, stating "ummm... no thank you."[137] In 2023 Stewart performed at the comedy festival, Netflix is a Joke in Los Angeles.[138]
2024–present: Return to The Daily Show
In January 2024, it was confirmed that Stewart would return to The Daily Show as the weekly Monday guest host starting February 12, 2024.[139] It was also confirmed that Stewart and his manager James Dixon would serve as executive producers for all Daily Show episodes through 2025.[139]

Criticism of television journalists
Stewart is known as an outspoken, humorous critic of personality-driven media shows, in particular, those of the
Crossfire appearance
In a televised exchange with then-CNN correspondent
Despite being on the program to comment on current events, Stewart immediately shifted the discussion toward the show itself, asserting that Crossfire had failed in its responsibility to inform and educate viewers about politics as a serious topic. Stewart stated that the show engaged in partisan hackery instead of honest debate, and said that the hosts' assertion that Crossfire is a debate show is like "saying pro wrestling is a show about athletic competition". Carlson responded by saying that Stewart criticizes news organizations for not holding public officials accountable, but when he interviewed John Kerry, Stewart asked a series of "softball" questions (Stewart has acknowledged he voted for Kerry in the 2004 presidential election).[178] Stewart responded that he didn't realize "the news organizations look to Comedy Central for their cues on integrity". When Carlson continued to press Stewart on the Kerry issue, Stewart said, "You're on CNN! The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls! What is wrong with you?" In response to prods from Carlson, "Come on. Be funny." Stewart said, "No, I'm not going to be your monkey." Later in the show when Carlson jibed, "I do think you're more fun on your show", Stewart retorted, "You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show." In response to Stewart's criticisms, Carlson said, "You need to get a job at a journalism school", to which Stewart responded, "You need to go to one!"[175]
Stewart discussed the incident on The Daily Show the following Monday:
We decided to go to this place, Crossfire, which is a nuanced public policy analysis show ... named after the stray bullets that hit innocent bystanders in a gang fight. So I go to Crossfire and, let's face it, I was dehydrated, it's the Martin Lawrence defense ... and I had always in the past mentioned to friends and people that I meet on the street that I think that show ... um ... blows. So I thought it was only the right thing to do to go say it to them personally on their program, but here's the thing about confronting someone with that on their show: They're there! Uncomfortable! And they were very mad, because apparently, when you invite someone on a show called Crossfire and you express an opinion, they don't care for that ... I told them that I felt their show was hurting America and they came back at me pretty good, they said that I wasn't being funny. And I said to them, "I know that, but tomorrow I will go back to being funny, and your show will still blow."[174][179]
In January 2005, CNN announced that it was canceling Crossfire. When asked about the cancellation, CNN's incoming president,
On March 18, 2009, Carlson wrote a blog entry for The Daily Beast criticizing Stewart for his handling of the CNBC controversy (see below). Carlson discussed the CNN incident and claimed that Stewart remained backstage for at least "an hour" and "continued to lecture our staff", something Carlson described as, "one of the weirdest things I have ever seen".[181]
Criticism of CNBC
Stewart again became a viral internet phenomenon following a March 4, 2009, The Daily Show sequence. CNBC canceled Rick Santelli's scheduled appearance on The Daily Show that day, so the show ran a short segment showing CNBC giving poor investment advice.[182]
Subsequent media coverage of exchanges between Stewart and
Criticism of Fox News
Throughout his tenure on The Daily Show, Stewart frequently accused Fox News of distorting the news to fit a
Stewart stepped up his criticism of Fox News in 2010; within five months, The Daily Show had 24 segments criticizing the Fox News coverage.[83] Bill O'Reilly, host of the talk show The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, countered that The Daily Show was a "key component of left-wing television" and that Stewart loved Fox News because the network was "not boring".[83]
During an interview with Chris Wallace on June 19, 2011, Stewart called Wallace "insane" for saying that Stewart's earlier comparison of the marketing techniques of a Sarah Palin campaign video and an anti-herpes medicine ad was a political comment. Stewart also said Fox viewers are the "most consistently misinformed" viewers of political media.[189] This comment was ranked by the fact-checking site, PolitiFact, as false, with conditions. Stewart later accepted his error.[190]
In 2014, Stewart engaged in an extended "call-out" of Fox News, based on their coverage of
2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike
Stewart was an important factor in the unionization of the Comedy Central writers. The Daily Show writers were the first of Comedy Central's writers to be able to join the guild, after which other shows followed.[195][196]
Stewart supported the
Stewart's choice to return to the air did bring criticism that he was undermining the writers of his show. Seth MacFarlane wrote an inside joke into an episode of Family Guy about this, causing Stewart to respond with an hour-long call in which he questioned how MacFarlane could consider himself the "moral arbiter" of Hollywood.[198] Former Daily Show writer David Feldman also accused Stewart of being anti-union at the time and of punishing his writers for their decision to unionize by not using their material.[199]
The Writers Guild Strike of 2007–2008 also was responsible for a
9/11 First Responders Bill
Over the years, Stewart sometimes used The Daily Show to argue for causes such as the treatment of
In February and June 2019, Stewart again went to Congress to oppose the $7.375 billion limit in pay-outs to
Sick and dying, they brought themselves down here to speak to no one. Shameful. It's an embarrassment to the country and it's a stain on this institution. And you should be ashamed of yourselves for those that aren't here. But you won't be because accountability doesn't appear to be something that occurs in this chamber...And I'm sorry if I sound angry and undiplomatic. But I'm angry, and you should be too, and they're all angry as well and they have every justification to be that way. There is not a person here, there is not an empty chair on that stage that didn't tweet out "Never Forget the heroes of 9/11. Never forget their bravery. Never forget what they did, what they gave to this country." Well, here they are. And where are they? And it would be one thing if their callous indifference and rank hypocrisy were benign, but it's not. Your indifference cost these men and women their most valuable commodity: time. It's the one thing they're running out of.[205][206]
Stewart continued to be a vocal advocate, appearing on late night shows such as
2021 Honoring our PACT Act
On September 30, 2021, Stewart debuted his
Stewart became a prominent advocate for the bill in person, on Twitter and on various cable news shows including Fox News' America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer, CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper, MSNBC's Morning Joe, and Newsmax.[217][218][219] On July 28, 2022, Stewart held a press conference on Capitol Hill where he stated:
America's heroes, who fought in our wars, outside sweating their asses off…battling all kinds of ailments, while these motherfuckers sit in the air conditioning, walled off from any of it. They don't have to hear it, they don't have to see it. They don't have to understand that these are human beings…. I'm used to the lies, I'm used to the hypocrisy…. Senate is where accountability goes to die…. I'm used to all of it. But I am not used to cruelty.[220]
On August 2, 2022, the PACT Act passed in bipartisan measure, 84 to 11.[221] Stewart was praised for lending his voice and celebrity to the issue and is credited as being an essential actor in getting the bill passed.[222][223] Stewart stated after the bill's passing, that while it "feels good", it "shouldn't have been this hard".[224] On August 10, the act was signed by President Joe Biden at a ceremony in the White House, where he praised Stewart for his commitment on this issue saying in part, "What you've done Jon, matters...It really, really matters. To refuse to let anybody forget, refuse to let them forget. And we owe you big, man. We owe you big."[225]
2023–present Israel-Hamas War
Stewart has criticized the State of Israel about its military and political conduct in the Palestinian territories.[226][227] In 2023, Stewart, alongside other media figures, signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter urging American president Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.[228][229]

In April 2024, Stewart claimed that Apple restricted him from interviewing
