Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962) is an American political satirist, writer, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian. He is widely known as host of The Daily Show, a satirical news program that airs on Comedy Central. Stewart started as a stand-up comedian, but branched into television as host of Short Attention Span Theater for Comedy Central. He went on to host his own show on MTV, called The Jon Stewart Show, and then hosted another show on MTV called You Wrote It, You Watch It. He has also had several film roles as an actor. Stewart became the host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central in early 1999. He is also a writer and co-executive-producer of the show. After Stewart joined, The Daily Show steadily gained popularity and critical acclaim, which led to his first Emmy Award in 2001. Stewart has gained acclaim as an acerbic, satirical critic of personality-driven media shows, in particular those of the US media networks such as CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC. Critics say Stewart benefits from a double standard: he critiques other news shows from the safe, removed position of his "fake news" desk. Stewart agrees, saying that neither his show nor his channel purports to be anything other than satire and comedy. In spite of its self-professed entertainment mandate, The Daily Show has been nominated for news and journalism awards. Stewart hosted the 78th and 80th Academy Awards. He is the co-author of America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, which was one of the best-selling books in the U.S. in 2004 and Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race released in 2010.

The Man Called Nova (Marvel) Nova - Film Series In this version, we would bypass the normal origin story, and start in the heat of it…visiting the origin in flashbacks. Xandar, The end of the Thanos/Black Order invasion Richard Rider, a Nova Corpsman, Stumbles through smoke and falling debris. Clearly in pain, he’s searching. He arrives where his destination once was…This was the building his “recruiter(although, it really was an alien abduction, wasn’t it?!flashback possibly)” The Xandarian, Rhomann Dey, had become his Instructor, his friend, mentor, and father figure here. He showed him the importance of the training he has suffered through in rebuilding the Nova Corps after Ronin had killed nearly all it’s “Centurions” in the battle over Xandar (see in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1), showed instructed, and ingrained in him the importance, so much so, Rider knew going home to Earth/Terra/C-23, was not an option he could think about until the training was complete. So close, he thinks, he had been here for several years, so close to being complete, being a Centurion, being in the Corps, and maybe even one of the “Champions of Xandar”. Richard shakes his head back into focus the pain is intense. He is holding his right side, he is certain there are broken ribs, he feels the warmness of blood. “Don’t look at it. Find him, find Dey”.
