Dude, early MTV had such a public access vibe and it was great.

Jon Stewart is a National Treasure. I could listen to him all day. He's the best!

As best I can tell from piecing together various tv show records and a blog post from someone who knew him, the guest who bit cheese was Jon Estrada, who went on to MIT and now works for the University of Michigan in Mechanical Engineering.

"I would have made sure the condors were leashed" is the best summary anyone can give for a show.

"I guess I would've made sure the condors were leashed."

It's always nice to hear a sentence that you know has never previously been spoken or written in the entire history of the English.

Can’t wait for Chapter 21 of the Jon Stewart book, “Condors Unleashed”.

I used to rush home from waiting tables at Friendly's so I could get there in time to watch Jon Stewart with my roommate.

It was a pretty chaotic show sometimes but Jon was absolutely the main selling point of the show even back then.

It helped that he had adorable puppy vibes

Please let “cheeseboy” show up in the comments and give us an update.

I'm the same age as Jon, and I started watching him on MTV as well, so way back in the day, lol!

MTV was more than just a music channel. it was a cultural movement, a revolution. it was our window to the world

[beaudwayful]

I could listen to these stories all day.

[michellecd]

[CoolStoryPodcast]

LOL, I remember watching the episode when the condor flew into the crowd. It was insane.

"Please, cheeseboy is my father. Call me Chuck"

I remember Eric Stoltz was one of his guests. The inventor of the Pina Colada was in the background with someone helping him make the drinks because the poor guy was so old. Just off to the side of them was Rupert Holmes singing Escape the Pina Colada Song. Eric and Jon drank several Pina Coladas and were hammered by the end of the show. It was great!

I started watching him on MTV, and you can say you knew what he would become from it, but that is hind sight. We're all surprised and happy with what he became. I'm not saying the show was bad, I'm saying its such a crazy trajectory that no one saw coming.
