Jon Stewart on 'Oprah': "I'm not Running for Office!"

USA Today reports that Jon Stewart won’t be running for public office in the foreseeable future. He defended his decision on Oprah today, saying, “My job is I make jokes. I don't solve problems. If my job became solving problems I would suddenly become a lot less good at what I do, unless the problem being had by the country was a lack of jokes.”

Jonn definitely knows what he’s good at. Jon’s wife Tracy McShane was also on the show, talking candidly about the secrets to a happy marriage, among other things. At Oprah’s behest, she shared one thing that people would be surprised to know about her husband.

“I would say I think he's nothing like this at home, in as much as he never talks about politics or world events. I forget how smart he is until I see him on television.” Awwww. Jon and Tracy also have two small children together who did not appear on the show.
