Herein lie the many fun facts within Lisa Rogak’s unfortunately titled The Angry Optimist: The Life And Times Of Jon Stewart.

Liked The Babes, Laughed At The Bigots

During his two years playing varsity soccer at William & Mary, Stewart was never at a loss for female companionship or anti-Semitic harassment. “Jon was very popular with girls and dated some very attractive women in college,” said a teammate. He went onto add that a member of an opposing team once called him a “kike,” while another made a comment about the size of his nose. Stewart responded that size had never been an issue for him, which got laughs from the crowd and defused the situation.

Bong Stewart

Stewart described his time at W&M thusly: “My college career was waking up late, memorizing someone else’s notes, doing bong hits, and going to soccer practice. A fine institution of learning, and I spent half of it bent over a little plastic tube going, ‘Turn up the jam!’”

3. I laughed hard

I love Jon Stewart. I find his show brutally honest and because of it, it can even make me feel a bit awkward watching on my tv or laptop hundreds of miles away. But, I agree with most things he says. It's an honesty that I think Americans have shyed away from too much, at least publically. It's always refreshing to watch.

I like how they described him years ago, “the celebrity equivalent of lint: he pops up in interesting and unlikely places.” ...so true.

4. It is great to see him taking on bigots as a youth. To know he has cut a wide

swath through idiots his whole life. Go Jon!
