Jon Stewart (born November 28, 1962 in Trenton, New Jersey as Jonathan Stewart Liebowitz) is an American comedian, actor, and producer.

He is currently best known as host of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, but has been in several television series and movie roles. However, he frequently makes fun of his movie appearances, as they have largely been in movies considered to be flops.

In 1993, Stewart started hosting The Jon Stewart Show on MTV, the first talk show on that network. Stewart had earlier hosted the unsuccessful You Wrote It, You Watch It on MTV, which invited viewers send in their stories to be acted out.

In 1999, Stewart began hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central when Craig Kilborn left the show.
