Angry Optimist: The Life and Times of Jon Stewart Book by Lisa Rogak (2014)

As a big fan of Jon Stewart, I thought I'd read a bit about him. We do have the New Jersey background in common. It was interesting to see what made him who he was. He was very athletic, but short, so keeping people laughing was a survival skill. I also learned a bit about how much work went into the production of one of those half hour shows I enjoyed so much. No wonder he stepped back from it. I actually didn't finish the book, as it started to get into the negative characteristics of Stewart, and though I am sure they are there, I do not care to learn about them.
