Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Jon Stewart: (on hypocrasy in Washington) How can Washington criticize Hollywood when they use Hollywood principles to design campaigns? There are no leaders anymore, only studio executives. Our country's chief executive runs focus groups every four years and tries to make sure his movie opens bigger than the other guy's.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jon Stewart: (On his fantasy guest for The Daily Show) I'd like to see some political guests. Somebody like George Stephanopoulos. And hopefully he's enough of a media whore that we can get him on.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jon Stewart: (On The Daily Show) If you're going to give people 20 minutes of news satire, you've also got to give them Tiffani-Amber Thiessen or you're going to have rioting in the streets.
