Replying to a redditor:

> Hi Jon, What was going through your mind when Stephen Colbert lost his composure while eating a banana on The Daily Show?

> My greatest joys on the show were trying to make Stephen break, or the other correspondents. Because you felt as though you had accomplished something somewhat Herculean. It's not easy to tickle those folks, but when it happens, you savor it.

Replying to a redditor:

> Mr. Stewart, Besides Rosewater, do you have a favorite movie? Any upcoming movies you are really looking forward to?

> I'm unfortunately an enormous fan of almost every movie that I go to see.

> I'm that annoying person that walks out of every movie and goes *THATWASUNBELIEVABLE! Can't believe they figured out how to train a DRAGON!*
>
> That being said, I'd have to put almost any Scorsese movie at the top of the list. I had to learn how to do accents somewhere.
