Jon Stewart for President

rusty_haloSo this weekend I was watching some old tapes of the Jon Stewart Show ... the original UPN Jon Stewart show that aired during the 94-95 season and was then cancelled.
I watched this show religiously that year, not so much because it was a great show but because I really loved Jon Stewart. (Plus I didn't have cable, thus no MTV, and Jon had the best musical guests.)
I was 12, and I had to either stay up until 1am on school nights, or set the VCR and watch it after school every day. And I was the only person I knew who did.
Yesterday I was watching the final week--Jon all depressed, various guests reassuring him that he'll have some kind of come-back, the final clip of the show which is Jon in makeup looking like an old man in a bar, rambling on about how he had a TV show for a year back in the day....
And now ... 'Daily Show' book named Book of Year by Publishers Weekly.
*sniffle*
I am so proud.
