There are no words to describe how much I admire and respect Jon Stewart. If he decided to run for President of the United States of America, I, and many, many more people would vote for him. He is an honest, sincere and wonderful person. His family must be so proud of him.

I'm not an american but I love Jon Stewart and The Daily Show. He gives a lot of perspective to what's happening to America. He truly is a treasure everyone must protect.

I knew John advocating for first responders was going to be #1. Still today his words and passion chokes me up.

Jon Stewart is an icon! My moments would be him discussing guns on Apple TV + and his speech to congress about first responders. Right now in our mess of a country, we need more Jon Stewart. He loves our country and isn't afraid to discuss issues head on.

His segment last night laying into tucker Carlsons interview with
Putin was brilliant.

I am beyond happy to see him back on The Daily Show.
He is always on point.
I love this guy!

Best quote from the Crossfire segment when they questioned Stewart's ability to ask the hard questions..."You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. What is wrong with you?"

[thatonechick]

He came back when we needed him the most. 💚

The pizza rant had some glorious sequels, including a rant on then-new NYC mayor Bill DeBlasio also eating his pizza with a fork. He then picked up a fight with the entire city of Chicago over their deep-dish pizza, which featured a long rant about how it's not a pizza, and when the Daily Show got sent some Chicago style pizza, trying to feed it to the show's dog.

"18 years yours!" You can literally feel the power, passion, anguish and anger. His finest moment in a lifetime full of incredible moments.

If EVER a mortal human has achieved the title of GOAT, it is without contest Jon Stewart. 😻

[singinpoet]

I would absolutely without question vote for Jon Stewart for president if he ever ran. This man cares about this nation immensely and isn’t afraid to take people to task.

So love that Stewart is back. Intelligence AND wit, aligned with solidified and correct views on the treatment of our fellow human beings, while weaving in and out of politics (and giving them what they deserve). Very much i am looking forward to seeing more of him in todays ridiculously divided world.

[vickilawrence]

OMG! That speech he gave to a half filled room in congress about the health benefits for first responders has to be, in my opinion, the most significant speech and the most heartfelt words that I’ve ever seen him give and I was riveted to my seat > God bless you John for giving of your time and YOUR tenacity and YOUR passion to this much needed effort! May God’s mercy and light be upon you as you go forward and we get to see what else you’ve got in mind! We desperately need people like you! You’re one of the disciples!

[bc-guy]

You did an excellent job on this! Thank you. And Thank You John.
My favourite John episode - is his Next One!

[naskray]

I’m Russian, and I am just on Jon Stewart❤ I’m dreaming of the days when political comedy will be again possible in Russia, where now you can be imprisoned or even murdered for that. And Jon is also seriously human. You can see it! I’m happy he’s back to The Daily Show🤩

[vickilawrence]

We are so very very fortunate to have this brilliant man bring so much intelligent discourse into our homes and hearts! I have loved him from the first moments that I heard him speak! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the passion, the intellect, the integrity, and the honor with which he delivers his messages! I was so sorry when he left the Daily Show! And I’m elated that he’s back for however long we’re going to have him! Thank you John for brightening our lives immeasurably! Much love from those of us that adore you! What a wonderful treasure we have in you!

[TreyMcDonaldAnimator]

Jon's intelligence is immaculate, you can tell he is always forward thinking and listening, absorbing, questioning everything with both curiosity and impeccable reflection and response. When people request for him to run for president, you can really see why... I don't think he ever will LOL but you want a candidate who can both take on politics with a grain of salt and calculated brilliance. Man is amazing. I would love to meet him one day.

[kennethnicholson]

i always get choked up when i see the clip of his first show back after 9/11 and even more so when he's sitting in front of what should have been a full congressional comittee. you can feel the pain and hurt he feels when asking for them to just do their job for those that did there's on something so unfathomably awful as 9/11. so glad he's back on the daily show even just on mondays. welcome back john.
