What I’m hearing is that he would’ve been an absolutely radical cliff diving athlete!

Getting caught and fired at work for disposing of the evidence from your cliff diving reenactment mishap in the incinerator by your brother could literally be a plot to a sitcom episode

He'd take that Israeli lobbying gig he's been auditioning for on his show. No worries about the pay cut because he loves the work.

True story (like Jon's): I worked 2 weeks mixing egg products at my hometown egg factory. I got a few days training, but didn't listen very well, at the time. So, not once, but twice, I forgot to put the stopper in the transfer tank, and 10,000lbs of eggs went down the drain. I wasn't fired, but I was transferred to receiving. There I mainly just stacked boxes off the lines.

Back then before he left the daily show, I really hoped this dude became senator and into precidency.

Jon, you are the best!
You make people laugh and help them go through this worldwide crisis with hope that it will get better.
Do not stop your show, it’s a therapy! 🥰

I was like Jon Stewart, I wasn't the best employee in the world. but in my defense most of the jobs were entry level jobs. without a lot of incentive to move up. so getting canned or quitting wasn't that big of a deal.

I grew up in central New Jersey. I went to Quakerbridge Mall all the time growing up. Just a couple years after Jon graduated High School though.

My first job was also at Woolworth's, and I was fired. I worked there for 6 weeks and then they told me to not come in anymore. But it was because the whole company was going bankrupt and closing…

I've known guys like that at work. They make life hard for everyone around, because they are just goofballs. They cost the company and employees. They are just clowns. I wonder if he ever made restitution for the damages? I hope his brother didn't have to eat it. But somebody did.. but not ole Jonny boy!
