Jon Stewart's quotes

  • [on the role of The Daily Show (1996)] When we spot silliness, we say so out loud. We're not really Democrat or Republican. We're out to stop that political trend of repeating things again and again until people are forced to believe them.
  • [March 2003, on his role in The Daily Show (1996)] Liberal and conservative have lost their meaning in America. I represent the distracted center.
  • [February 2003, about his position at The Daily Show (1996)] I mostly work on writing the show. We have a talented crew of writers and I'm like the managing editor. I am the fake Lou Grant of the fake news world.
  • [about The Daily Show (1996)] That's the beauty of our show. Comedy or politics. We're sort of a mix. A space-age polymer of both. A synthetic comedy-like material.
  • [in Nov. 2002] I was born in New York City, but I was raised in New Jersey, part of the great Jewish emigration of 1963.
  • I'm thrilled to be asked to host the Academy Awards for the second time because, as they say, the third time's a charm.
  • [I'm looking forward to the end of the George W. Bush administration] as a comedian, as a person, as a citizen, as a mammal.
  • When in doubt, I can stare blankly. The rubber face. There's only so many ways you can stare incredulously at the camera and tilt an eyebrow, but that's your old standby: What would Buster Keaton do?
  • [What we're always looking for are] those types of stories that can, almost like the guy in The Green Mile (1999)--suck in all the toxins and allow you to do something with it that is palatable.
  • [on his early days in stand-up comedy] I wish I could say there was a magic formula, but I just kept working at it.
  • [on Obama Democrats] We came, we saw, we sucked.
  • [on interviewing models] Models talk to you for six minutes and they're very nice and they say thank you and then it's off to the larger European men they actually have sex with.
  • [on Late Show with David Letterman (1993), 2/16/2012, about his wife and their children, Nate and Maggie] She was raised Catholic, I was raised Jewish. We're raising them to be sad.
  • [on the fight against obesity] I love this idea you have of banning sodas larger than 16 ounces. It combines the draconian government overreach people love with the probable lack of results which they expect.
  • [on returning to The Daily Show (1996) after a brief time away] I've missed you so much. You don't know what it's like out there. Nobody applauds every stupid little thing you do.
  • [on England] You once dominated half the globe but if you lose Scotland you're down to the one corner of Ireland that doesn't hate you and Wales, a territory with so few natural resources it needs to import vowels.
  • [on the reaction to his leaving The Daily Show (1996)] Last night I was cruising the Internet, and I guess my question to you is . . . did I die? Because it all seems very "I died."
  • When you are actually powerful, you don't need to be petty.
  • [opening his first show after 9-11] Are you okay? We pray that you are and that your family is.
  • Songs aren't literal, you know that, right? When The Weather Girls are singing "It's Raining Men", its not literally precipitating men. It's a metaphor
  • [on Fox News Channel] A 24-hour biased propaganda delivery system relentlessly promoting ideological, opinionated perceptions while masquerading as a news organization
  • [his farewell adieu to Fox News] Adios, motherfuckers!
  • [on Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign] What struck me that was odd about this election was that nobody asked him what makes America great.
  • [on Donald Trump] He isn't even a Republican: He's a repudiation of Republicans.
