==Career==

==Career==

Stewart was known for being a funnyman in [[high school]]. He moved to [[New York City]] in 1986 and did not have the courage to perform at a local comedy club. When he did the following year, he adopted his stage name Jon Stewart and his act was relatively unsuccessful. Stewart became a regular at the Comedy Cellar, where he performed every night. In 1989, he landed his first television writing job, writing for ''Caroline's Comedy Hour''.  He began his work for Comedy Central in 1991, hosting ''Short Attention Span Theater''. In 1992, Stewart hosted ''You Wrote It, You Watch It'' on MTV, which did not last on the air for long. Stewart was considered to replace [[David Letterman]] when Letterman left NBC in 1993, but [[Conan O'Brien]] replaced him. He then developed the talk show ''The Jon Stewart Show'' on MTV. It was the first talk show on MTV and was a hit, second only to ''Beavis and Butt Head'' at the time. In 1999, Stewart replaced Craig Kilborn as the host of ''The Daily Show''. During Kilborn's tenure as host, the show was generally more pop-culture oriented. However, when Stewart became host, the show adopted a sharply political focus. Stewart has hosted the show for well over ten years, and had helped to create a spin-off starring his former "correspondent" [[Stephen Colbert]], ''The Colbert Report'', rounding out Comedy Central's "Fake News" hour.
