6 times something Jon Stewart said or did actually made a difference in the world

"I'm not an activist, I'm a comedian."

I loved watching his show

2. That time he got the U.S. government to pay health care costs for 9/11 first responders
9/11 marked a turning point for "The Daily Show" and Stewart, who, like many Americans, was visibly, personally shaken by the events of that day. It marked the show's sudden shift away from goofball comedy into a venue for the funniest, sharpest political commentary on TV.

Though I bend towards libertarianism, Jon Stewart’s show on Comedy Central effectively curtailed the disproportionate right-wing perspectives of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes.

Plus, Tucker Carlson had to get rid of his stupid bow tie after bumping heads with Jon Stewart.

It was a great run and I'll miss the show.
…and no idea how Trevor Noah will be…

p.s. oh and f*ck the IR5

I loved the show too.

Stewart is worth $80 Million now and doesn't need the daily grind. He's moving to an animal conservation farm. (in support of his wife)

Plus many behind the camera projects.

I love the way he tells me what is bad and what I should think. He is funny, but definitely part of the left wing media mafia.
