Jon Stewart on Letterman, March 6, 1992 

Aww, this is right when I discovered Jon. I was 12. I watched SAST (short attention span theater). I've been a fan girl since then. ❤️😎👍

How is this still so relevant 30 years later?!

It's interesting how Jon is a real life example of hard work and persistence. Seeing him go from stand-up, through two other shows, to doing bit parts in movies, before finally making the career-defining move to The Daily Show when he was pushing 40, and over a decade establishing himself as a landmark in political commentary is truly inspiring.

so ahead of his time … jon stewart is a treasure !!!!!!!

He was talking about politics back then...he was always there

I don't know much about Jon's stand up, so it's interesting to see that his show was just as political as his routines.

He did the same exact Kennedy routine on Letterman again in late 1994. Word for word.

Cool he got his big break on the day I was born

Like Carson, Letterman knew talent and went out of his way subtly to support them.

Whatever happened to this Jon Stewart fellow?

I enjoyed the Geraldo joke.

Wow, an amazing sign of things to come! The immigrant joke I'm pretty sure comes straight from Robert Klein.

10 more years of this they might let him host the Grammys

I Love Paul shaverz

There's a line up of Jon's daily show corresponds who went and start their own show

I wasnt born when this came out

wow he is certainly more attractive now then ever. he was nervous as a young tyke lol (i love middle aged seasoned men)

Jon's first big moment.....

Letterman celebrating his 100th show in 1992.

I wonder why he was played on with All Along The Watchtower

Biggots were on the rise in 92, damn. Guess they've been at it since then and are now running a rampage.

wow not much has changed eh....

I love Jon, but he really has told that "it looks like a container for a head" joke way too many times on the air.

Jon Stewart used to be rather handsome. He aged so badly in a mere 25 years.

You wonder if his grandpa gave him shit about that one bit? -even- Especially, if it's not true
