Today I will give tribute to a real American hero: Jon Stewart. He’s the G.I. Joe of comedy. I somehow always remember what I did on 9/11, and the trail leads me back to Jon Stewart. Everyone was wondering what the Daily show was going to do in the days after 9/11, and most everyone knew that there was nothing funny about it. I think that’s what was so amazing, and that’s when we realized that The Daily Show wasn’t just a comedy show, it was a real show. It made valid points, and it was there for us. Jon Stewart handled 9/11 with grace, character, respect, and honesty.
Jon Stewart, here’s a 9/11 tribute to you!
