Jon Stewart turns 50 today! The irreverent silver fox had an eventful election year, bringing much-needed laughs to the seemingly endless campaign. With so many women's issues on the forefront this year, we especially appreciated the dose of cutting analysis Jon mixed in with the humor each night. We could often thank The Daily Show for bringing more attention to the troublesome stances taken by politicians, and we're sure Jon didn't mind some of the more ridiculous moments.
