A
Bestseller Since his arrival at
in 1999, Jon Stewart has become one of the major players in comedy as well as one of the most significant liberal voices in the media. In
, biographer Lisa Rogak charts his unlikely rise to stardom. She follows him from his early days growing up in New Jersey, through his years as a struggling stand-up comic in New York, and on to the short-lived but acclaimed
. And she charts his humbling string of near-misses—passed over as a replacement for shows hosted by Conan O’Brien, Tom Snyder, and even the fictional Larry Sanders—before landing on a half-hour comedy show that at the time was still finding its footing amidst roiling internal drama.
Once there, Stewart transformed

led by Jon Stewart, a comedian who has come to wield incredible power in American politics.
