It's excellent advice. Jon's subsequent career is proof of it.

[russberreth]

That’s one of the most David Letterman stories I’ve heard in a while 😂

[ZorlockDarksoul]

I seem to recall Jon giving this same advice to Larry Wilmore when The Nightly Show ended.

[jeffagatstein]

You may have gotten onto a rocky start, John, but for many years now, you’ve been rocking it.

[batgurrl]

Of course it would be from Dave Letterman. Don’t confuse cancellation with Failure.
I love both Jon Stewart and David Letterman ❤️

Letternan's daytime talk show was canned, yet he ended up becoming an ion of late night television. Sometimes it's not you, it's the format

The best advice I got was when I was a teen; spend extra time with the oldest and youngest people in your life.

Great ideal for a t-shirt. I WAS RAISED FERAL.

[lpeterson]

I was watching back then and still am. Thanks for making me laugh at the absurdity of it all.

[duzins]

The time before mentors… that is so true.

[wpflesh]

That old Jon Stewart show had some great bands on it back in the day

[MathMan]

i still have that final episode on VHS - man i loved that show

[anniehuckerby]

Jon this will show my age 😂 I remember watching your earliest shows! No stage been watching you since ❤ Both you and Letterman are my favorites ❤

[mattlittlej]

That's the most Letterman thing I've ever heard

[eugenefullstack]

Jon is the best, I hope that even after he's done doing TDS he pulls a Letterman and does a full hour interview show on HBO or something, I could listen to him talk like this for hours.

[ovhek]

Reminds me of..
Do not attribute to mailce what can be easily attributed to incompetence.

[shestayready]

My best advice is: "Don't fear failure, be terrified of regret."
I live by this mantra

[martyk]

As s young man jon was not ready to be president but he is now.

[That-Google-Guy]

I loved the Jon Stewart Show, even as a 10 year old I loved this man.

I completely understand his "end of life question" reaction. I was asked to give a lecture at the following year's conference, which wouldn't have been unusual in itself, but this was the equivalent of a "Last Lecture" series, and, in my early 40s, I didn't think I was quite there yet!
