I just read this terrible news. My heart is shattered. I'm absolutely gutted. I wasn't active here but I faithfully watch Jon every night he's on. He continues to be not just hilarious and insightful but caring in a profound way Stephen and John Oliver don't quite equal. His abundant humanity and striving to bring about change is what I'm constantly amazed with. It's never just for show but deep inside he is a wonderful and good man and sometimes I'm humbled by watching him talk about issues that most comedians could just quip about and then leave the subject. To love a celebrety in more than a fanish way is an unusual thing I'm sure, certainly for me. But if there was one famous person I love it is Jon Stewart.
On a selfish note, my chances for seeing him in person are so diminished I could cry.
