BIOGRAPHy

He’s more than just politics! Jon Stewart is considered one of America’s top social and comedic voices and has redefined political satire in American culture from the anchor chair on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” As host of “The Daily Show,” Stewart has interviewed such political luminaries as Presidents Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama and such celebrity icons as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and George Clooney. Stewart and “The Daily Show” received 22 Emmy Award nominations and won 11. In 2001, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” received the prestigious Peabody Award for excellence in its “Indecision 2000” campaign coverage and again in 2005 for “Indecision 2004.” Stewart has graced the cover of numerous magazines, including Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly and GQ. He was also named “Entertainer of the Year” by Entertainment Weekly and was honored as “New York Entertainer of the Year” by Variety. Stewart was also named to the inaugural Time 100 list of the world’s most influential people. In 2001 and again in 2002, Stewart served as host of the Grammy Awards. Stewart then hosted the Academy Awards in 2006 and 2008. Jon is also a best-selling author. In 2004, Warner Books published “AMERICA (THE BOOK): A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction,” and it immediately topped The New York Times Best Seller List for 18 consecutive weeks. Additionally, “America” was given the prestigious book of the year award in 2004 by Publishers Weekly. When Stewart retired from “The Daily Show” in 2015, he assured fans that he would continue writing. Needless to say, Jon Stewart can make any event the event.
