No one has done more to educate, lampoon and satirise the madness of politics than Jon Stewart.

His intelligence, humour, wit and desire to expose the mainstream media for the lying corrupt behemoth that it is for 16 incredible years was a relief to the educated and progressive.

He was always my inspiration…

More people understood the true nature of politics and power because of him than anyone else in media.

His final words…

…the reason we can’t have satire as powerful as this is because we have few with the courage to challenge power and authority like he did in the NZ media landscape.

Jon Stewart made us all braver. We were privileged to be able to watch from afar.

  1. ‘Treat people with respect, do your job well, and do it with integrity. Or face the probable reality of living with dung lung’. It might be difficult sometimes, but we all know it really is that simple!

  2. The Daily Show has been part of our diet for many years and I hope that Trevor Noah can do a good job as well. He is quite a funny and smart young man in his own right. Heard any of his stand up comedy?

    Jon Stewart and George Carlin and Eddie Izzard are in a league all of their own. They had the guts to come up against the rot and greed and dirty politics and speak out with sharp humour and genius like brilliance.
    ( Robin as well )

    Many of us sigh a bit of sadness at Stewarts retirement but — ” The Daily Show ” — will go on and we will miss – Jon – BIG TIME !
    He annihilated and made fun of Fox News like no other !
