Jon Stewart was at the helm of America’s The Daily Show for 15 years – a satirical news programme and talk show- that questioned and made fun of those in charge as well as the media that reported on them. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)

Since he left the programme, he’s campaigned for the thousands of sick and dying responders of 9/11 to receive free medical care.

He’s also written and directed a film – ‘Irresistible’ about the disconnect between the Washington elite, both Republican and Democrat and the voters they periodically try to woo. Through the prism of a mayoral election in a tiny town in rural Wisconsin, the film tackles almost all the ills of America’s political system.
