review 1: I've watched Jon Stewart for only a year or so. I started watching just because I wanted to see what he was all about. I found some of his humor to be sophomoric, agreed with some of what he had to say and cringed over some of it. But I kept watching. Why? Because I found him to be very intelligent and I especially liked his guest interviews. I read this book to learn more about his background -- and the book provided that.
review 2: This is a pretty good book if you like Jon Stewart -- and I do. It's a puff piece by a fan boy, but you get to relive some great moments from the show and he does a decent job of showing how Stewart started his career doing stand up and moved up to The Daily Show. It's a short book, a fast read, easy to digest. Not much meat though
... more, and I could have stood to have had more input from producers, writers, and even Stewart himself, although he's much quoted from his shows. Cautiously recommended. less

Basically a recap of the evaluation of the Daily Show under Jon Stewart.
Christina
Interesting read about the man who changed political reporting.
Susie
More of an overview of his career. Not much of a biography.

Pretty lightweight reading, but a fun distraction.
