Stewart's hosting of the [[Oscars]] in 2008 set the modern record for its '''''smallest''''' number of viewers: it "drew the worst ratings ... of the modern era. Whoever came because of Stewart was more than offset by those who tuned out."<ref>http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/11/billy-crystal-what-if-the-oscars-want-to-stay-old.html</ref>
Stewart appeared in several bad movies, including ''Big Daddy'', ''The Faculty'', ''Half Baked'', and ''Death To Smoochy'' Because his movies almost always do very badly (critically and financially) people say that there is a "Jon Stewart Curse" that he brings to all his movies.
