Last night, I was watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central, and I came to an important and life changing realization: I want to be Jon Stewart. Well, not exactly. I want to be a taller (he’s really short), younger, female version of the sarcastic, hilarious and very intelligent fake news anchor.

I know it’s a crazy and slightly horrifying fact, but a large percentage of young people rely on Jon Stewart’s program as their primary source of news. It sounds ridiculous to base your opinions and knowledge of the world on a half-hour of comedy, but with regular news programs extending the length of their programs so they can include summer fashions, wedding competitions and playful banter that ultimately just gets on your nerves, I guess I can understand why.
