I left my country for that man. I don’t live in the country I was born in because I wanted to work with him ... He taught me how to do everything that I do now. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to do it. So it’s hard to overstate the extent to which I owe him everything.

Why the Next President Should Speak to Jon Stewart on a Regular Basis (Video)

“If I was a President, I’d approach Jon Stewart and say: ‘OK. Every six months, let’s you and I sit down, let’s have a 30-minutes conversation. It’s gonna be taped, you can ask any question that you want. That’s the deal.’ And in turn, all of us would be linked to this conversation in a way that wouldn’t happen otherwise.”

Can We Survive This Election Without Jon Stewart? >>

“As John Oliver confronts this election head on, Samantha Bee comes out swinging, and Trevor Noah contributes with the occasionally potent piece, there seems to be more voices mounting up. But none like Stewart, who created the pissy campfire we gathered around every night to keep our sanity intact. He helped us laugh at the madness, so it wouldn’t consume us. Without that laughter, well, things gets really weird. Are you there, Jon Stewart? It’s me, America. We miss you.”
