To Get More Celeb Updates
When Jon Stewart was 11, his parents got a divorce. After that, he and his father didn't see each other much. Because of how bad things were between them, he started going by his middle name, "Stuart," instead of his last name. He grew up in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and went to Lawrence High School there. He went to The College of William & Mary in Virginia to finish his education. There, he majored in psychology and played football for the school's team. He worked as a contract administrator for the City University of New York, a soccer teacher at Gloucester High School in Virginia, a bartender, a caterer, a busboy, and as a contingency planner for the New Jersey Department of Human Services after he graduated from college.
Comedy and a Career in TV
Stewart went back to New York City in 1986 to try out for the comedy club scene there. He started doing stand-up comedy for the first time at The Bitter End, the same club where Woody Allen got his start. During this time, he started going by the name "Jon Stewart" on stage. Eventually, he became a regular performer at the Comedy Cellar, where he would be the last act every night at 2 a.m.
In 1989, he got his first job on TV when "Caroline's Comedy Hour" hired him to write for the show. In 1990, he co-hosted "Short Attention Span Theatre" on Comedy Central with Patty Rosborough, and in 1992, he was the host of "You Wrote It, You Watch It" on MTV. Stewart says that his show on "Late Night with David Letterman" on March 6, 1992, was the turning point in his career.
Stewart created and started hosting "The Jon Stewart Show" on MTV in 1993. It was MTV's first talk show, and it was an instant hit. In fact, it was the second most popular show on the network. In the end, the show's ratings went down, and in June 1995, it ended. But David Letterman liked it. He was also the last person to appear on "The Jon Stewart Show." Stewart became a regular guest host for Tom Snyder on "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" after Letterman added him to his production company, Worldwide Pants.
Craig Kilborn left Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" in 1999, and Jon Stewart took over as show. Stewart was almost always the host of "The Daily Show," with the exception of a few times when Stephen Colbert, Rob Corddry, or Jason Jones filled in, and a short time when John Oliver was the host in the summer of 2013. In 2013, when John Oliver took over for a short time, it was so that he could make the movie "Rosewater" (2014). Stewart got a total of twenty Primetime Emmy Awards for "The Daily Show" as a writer or producer. The show also won two Peabody Awards in 2000 and 2004 for how well it covered the U.S. presidential elections in those years. On August 6, 2015, Stewart's last episode of "The Daily Show" aired. This was the 2,579th show. Trevor Noah, a South African comedian, took over as show after him.
Since he left "The Daily Show," Stewart has mostly stayed out of the public eye. Stewart signed a four-year deal with HBO in November 2015. They were making a "animated parody of a cable news network," but in the end, the project was canceled in May 2017 because the launch date kept getting moved. Since 2015, he has also been on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" from time to time.
