'Bad Jon' Stewart Screams at Staffers: New Book
Newser ^ | Sep 17, 2014 | Evann Gastaldo

It may be hard for Jon Stewart fans to imagine, but the beloved Daily Show host is "anything but warm and fuzzy," according to staffers quoted in Lisa Rogak’s new biography of the comedian, Angry Optimist: The Life and Times of Jon Stewart. One tells the story of a time Stewart screamed in a producer's face and threw a newspaper at her, only to later apologize and explain, "Sorry, that's bad Jon. ... I try not to let him out."

You look at his delivery on the show, and I can see the seething anger in Stewart."

Looks like Jon needs to learn to keep his Leibo-witz about him.

I’ve always gotten that impression from him - that he has contempt for everyone, sees everyone as inferior and imagines that his every utterance is inherently superior and intellectual.

Probably why Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly get along so well.

I see all these quotes on the internet that are attributed to Jon Stewart and I can’t help but wonder if he actually wrote the quote himself or if one of his 30 staff writers did...

His real last name isn’t even Stewart. it’s a stage name.

I thought the same thing.
