Dear Alfee,
Actually the extremely handsome Jon Stewart is jewish, and is the same age as me. He is born 2 days after my birthday...Nov. 1962

bio -Born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz in New York City in 1962, Jon Stewart honed his comedic chops in New York City comedy clubs before hitting it big with his own talk show on MTV. Unfortunately, that show flopped, but Stewart found his groove as host of The Daily Show.

The Daily Show's hilarious take on politics and the news have made Stewart a national icon. His fame has scored him gigs hosting The Grammys and The Oscars as well as the opportunity to smack down Tucker Carlson on live TV.

Jon Stewart -- The Early Years: Stewart grew up in New Jersey and attended The College of William and Mary in Virginia. After graduation, he moved back home to New Jersey, where he worked at a series of jobs (including puppeteer and NJ Department of Health number cruncher).

Jon Stewart -- Host With the Most: But Stewart couldn’t stay away from hosting for long. Over the next few years, he was a frequent guest host for The Late, Late Show With Tom Snyder and a frequent fictional guest host for The Larry Sanders Show.
