Jon Stewart is just hitting his stride. It's amazing that it has taken this long for people to embrace his sarcastic, sardonic and incisive sense of humor. Of particular note was a regular "gig" on "The Larry Sanders Show" (1992). Playing himself, Stewart was the oft-timed "Guest Host" of "The Larry Sanders Show". He became as much a part of the show's fabric as some of the regular performers. He has emerged as a bonafide television personality with his ascension to host of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" (1996)/Comedy Central since taking over for Craig Kilborn in 1999.

Was chosen by People Magazine as one of 1999's 50 Most Beautiful People In The World.

Attended the College of William and Mary, where he was on the soccer team.

Decided to quit smoking on Dec. 28, 2000, after being encouraged by the CGL Foundation.

The College of William and Mary soccer team still gives out an award called the "Liebo", named after Jon's birth name of "Liebowitz". It is given to the clown/sweetheart of the team.

Filed petition to make his name change official from Leibowitz to Stewart. When "60 Minutes" (1968) asked him why he dropped Leibowitz, Stewart explained: "Sounded too Hollywood". (June 2001).

He meant it sounded too JEWISH!
