now I know why Venice is sinking it is
under the weight of Silvio Berlusconi’s
giant balls his sharp political satire

left that’s not wrong and if he was
you’re not allowed to go on a show and
tell him anyway welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be taking a look at the
career of John Stuart you kindly take
your seats
this will be over quite quickly Jonathan
Stewart Leibovitz was born November 28
1962 in New York City and was raised in
New Jersey
Stewart’s rocky childhood was worsened
by his parents divorce and by the
bullying he endured from classmates who
mocked his Jewish roots
he used his wisecracking skills to
combat this ridicule and soon discovered
his comedic talent after earning a
psychology degree in 1984 Stewart worked
a variety of odd jobs he was a busboy
and a bartender performed puppet shows
for disabled children and even worked
for the New Jersey Department of Human
Services in 1986 he finally decided to
use his natural abilities as a comedian
he moved to New York City to give
stand-up a try he began performing in
local clubs under the stage name Jon
Stewart while he initially struggled
with late-night billing and empty venues
he earned a spot as a regular at the
Comedy Cellar
and used this time to perfect his style
and delivery by 1989 he became a writer
for the television program Caroline’s
Comedy Hour it wasn’t long before he
began co-hosting Comedy Central’s short
attention span theater as well as MTV’s
you wrote it you watch it in 1993
Stewart was up against some comedy
stalwarts to replace David Letterman on
his late-night NBC show he ultimately
lost a former Saturday Night Live and
Simpsons writer Conan O’Brien but that
didn’t slow down his career instead he
began developing the interview based
variety series the Jon Stewart Show for
MTV it was an instant hit and it soon
became an hour-long late-night program
that replaced the Arsenio Hall Show
however ratings dropped when the series
was moved to compete with other
late-night talks
and it was canceled after just two years
Stewart then turned his attention to
acting in feature films he played the
romantic lead in both playing by heart
and wishful thinking and portrayed an
alien possessed professor in the horror
film the faculty he finally returned to
comedy in half-baked and Big Daddy I was
so hammered chicken wings in motion
three oh you know Canadian beers like
moonshine hey yes throughout the 90s
Stewart also had an HBO comedy special
and began guest hosting on The Late Late
Show with Tom Schneider his success
there foreshadowed what came next in his
career this is the Daily Show with Jon
Stewart the most important television
program in 1999 Stewart replaced Craig
Kilborn as host of The Daily Show on
Comedy Central he revamped the series to
address news and politics with sarcastic
humor acerbic satire and quick dialogue
so the president doesn’t read the papers
the only real information he gets he
gets from his loyal aides and even when
he goes to a town hall meeting to meet
the people they’ve been pre-selected our
president’s living in the Truman Show
Stewart himself was known for slinging
cutting remarks and the rare bad
impersonation from his anchor chair no
seriously that guy I mean I’m not
kidding
and this helped him win countless Emmy
Awards for his work as writer and
producer the show even earned Peabody
Awards for its coverage of presidential
elections and these proved to be
defining moments in its history in 2004
Stewart made headlines for his high
profile criticism of news television in
fact Stewart’s disparaging appearance on
CNN’s crossfire led to its cancellation
a few months later you’re accusing us of
partisan hackery
absolutely your might the show that
leads into me is puppets making crank
phone call The Daily Show’s reputation
as a legitimate news source only
solidified over the years as Stewart
developed his skills as an interviewer I
was going to read this
bathra and and by the time I had my
underwear down thank you very much and
this book is still a real piece while
the series lost some big-name talent
like Rob Corddry Stephen Colbert
Steve Carell and Ed Helms Stewart
continued asking the pointed questions
mainstream media tended to avoid my
question would be if you know what we
know now about the weapons of mass
destruction do you think the American
people would have allowed us to go to
war because I think that is the essence
of the question
in 2008 he and his pals used comedy to
their advantage to emerge from the
Writers Guild of America strike
relatively unscathed
Stewart Stephen Colbert and Conan
O’Brien staged a mock battle to help
keep ratings up and it worked
despite his busy schedule with The Daily
Show Stewart managed to continue
appearing in Hollywood films and helped
penned several best-selling satirical
books including America at the book a
citizen’s guide to democracy in action
and Earth a visitor’s guide to the human
race he also hosted both the Grammy and
the Academy Awards ceremonies more than
once through his efforts on The Daily
Show Jon Stewart has helped shape
political satire as we know it
he continues to deliver
thought-provoking entertainment with his
unique brand of comedy to as many fans
around the globe get your message to
what you believe and the audience that
that appeals to will follow
