  <about><![CDATA[Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz) is an American comedian, satirist, actor, writer, Pundit, and producer. He is best known as the host of Comedy Central’s &lt;i&gt;The Daily Show&lt;/i&gt; and for his political satire.

Stewart started as a stand-up comedian, but later branched out to television, hosting &lt;i&gt;Short Attention Span Theater&lt;/i&gt; for Comedy Central. He went on to host his own show on MTV, called &lt;i&gt;The Jon Stewart Show&lt;/i&gt;, and then hosted another show on MTV called You Wrote It, You Watch It.

Stewart became the host of &lt;i&gt;The Daily Show&lt;/i&gt; on Comedy Central in early 1999. He is also a writer and co-producer of the show. After Stewart joined, &lt;i&gt;The Daily Show&lt;/i&gt; steadily gained popularity and critical acclaim leading to his first Emmy Award in 2001. Stewart himself has also gained significant notoriety as a vocal, outspoken critic of the Bush administration and of personality-driven media shows, in particular Bill O'Reilly and the Fox News Channel. Critics say Stewart benefits from a double standard: he critiques other news shows from the safe, removed position of his &quot;mock news&quot; desk. However the validity of this distinction is challenged by a number of critics, researchers, and even supporters, some of whom have awarded &lt;i&gt;The Daily Show&lt;/i&gt; with news and journalism awards.

Stewart co-wrote &lt;i&gt;America (The Book)&lt;/i&gt;, which was one of the top fifteen best-sellers in the US in 2004. Stewart hosted the 78th Academy Awards and the 80th Academy Awards.
