You were born a daughter. You looked up to your mother. You looked up to your father. You looked up at everyone. You wanted to be a princess. You thought you were a princess. You wanted to own a horse. You wanted to be a horse. You wanted your brother to be a horse. You wanted to wear pink. You never wanted to wear pink. You wanted to be a Veterinarian. You wanted to be President. You wanted to be the President’s Veterinarian. You were picked last for the team. You were the best one on the team. You refused to be on the team. You wanted to be good in algebra. You hid during algebra. You wanted the boys to notice you. You were afraid the boys would notice you. You started to get acne. You started to get breasts. You started to get acne that was bigger than your breasts. You wouldn’t wear a bra. You couldn’t wait to wear a bra. You couldn’t fit into a bra. You didn’t like the way you looked. You didn’t like the way your parents looked. You didn’t want to grow up. You had your first best friend. You had your first date. You had your second best friend. You had your second first date. You spent hours on the telephone. You got kissed. You got to kiss back. You went to the prom. You didn’t go to the prom. You went to the prom with the wrong person. You spent hours on the telephone. You fell in love. You fell in love. You fell in love. You lost your best friend. You lost your other best friend. You really fell in love. You became a steady girlfriend. You became a significant other. You became significant to yourself. Sooner or later, you start taking yourself seriously. You know when you need a break. You know when you need a rest. You know what to get worked up about and what to get rid of. And you know when it’s time to take care of yourself, for yourself. To do something that makes you stronger, faster, more complete. Because you know it’s never too late to have a life. And never too late to change one. Just do it!

Zahvaljujuci kablovskoj konacno mozemo pratiti i ovakve programe, i kao nekome ko je o njemu, Leno-u, Lettermanu, Clobertu i ostalima mogao samo kroz tekst i eventualno po neki klip saznati nesto vise to mnogo znaci.

Jon Stewart (rodjen Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz). Covek me odusevljava… zaista mi u zivotu nedostaje taj nivo i ta vrsta humora… politicki humor, ali vrhunski… ne svodi se sve na satiranje Velje jer je psovac vec se lep i detaljno “na naucnoj osnovi” unistava onaj ko je predmet radnje u toj emisiji.
Aktuelan, elokventan, kreativan. Svaku situaciju iskoristava do tacno one zdrave granice koju ne treba prelaziti.
Nacin na koji “secira” ljude i situacije, prosto je fascinantan.
Kako me posao, tj. onaj njegov deo koji se direktno vezuje za materijalna dobra, tera da budem u toku sa dogadjajima u USA, krajem 2004. imao sam prilike medju prvima dobiti kopiju najbolje epizode emisije Crossfire, jedne od, tada najpopularnijih emisija politickih emisija. Voditelji Robert Novak i Tucker Carlson dovodili su 2 gosta i stavljali ih u unakrsnu vatru, krajnje neprijatnim pitanjima… A onda su napravili kardinalnu gresku i pozvali Jon-a u emisiju.. samog… 2 na 1… Covek je za 13 minuta i 50ak sekundi unistio obojicu do te mere da je posle par meseci show i potpuno ugasen. O tome moze da se prica, ali bolje procitajte transkript ili pogledajte snimak.
Brilijantan showman, novinar, komicar, sa uvek izuzetnom selekcijom sadrzaja i gostiju u emisiji. Jedan od ljudi zbog kojih vredi gledati CNN.

Citati sa dodele Oskara 2006 koju je vodio:
“Good evening everybody. Ladies, gentlemen…uhh…Felicity…”
“For those keeping score: Three 6 Mafia: 1; Martin Scorsese: 0.”
“I’m surprised Cinderella Man didn’t win Best Make-up. Imagine the difficulty of making Russell Crowe look like he’d been in a fight.”
“Tonight we celebrate excellence in film…with me…the fourth male lead from Death to Smoochy. Rent it.”
“Björk couldn’t be here tonight. She was trying on her Oscar dress and Dick Cheney shot her.”
“If there’s anyone out there involved in illegal movie piracy… don’t do it. Take a good look at these people. These are the people you’re stealing from. Look at them! Face what you’ve done! There are women here who can barely afford enough gown to cover their breasts.”

Izbori 2000:
“I was not elected to serve one party.” — George W. Bush (video overlay)
“You were not elected.” — Jon Stewart
“I have something else to ask you, to ask every American. I ask you to pray for this great nation.” — Bush “We’re way ahead of you.” — Stewart

Izbori 2004:
“In South Carolina, Senator John Edwards won handily, fulfilling his promise to win every state he was born in.”
“When did our elections become the Special Olympics? You’re not all winners. Not everyone gets a hug. You guys got crushed.” [on the exuberant losers of the New Hampshire primary]
“Please explain to me why John Kerry sounds more dickish telling the truth than Bush sounds when he’s lying. How is that possible?”
