What's that on Jon Stewart's face?Brad Pitt’s beard seems to have found its way to Jon Stewart’s face – although it’s cleaned up quite nicely. Yes, Jon Stewart has joined the ranks of late-night hosts who cultivate facial hair in their off-hours, as he revealed when “The Daily Show” returned last night. “Some of you may be wondering right now, ‘Hey! What happened to your face?" Stewart said about the obvious change. "Why is Jon Stewart’s evil cousin hosting the show?” After trying to pass off the new look as the result of a run-in with a tub of Fluff, Stewart finally admitted the real reason. “The truth is," Stewart said, "I’m a Japanese snow monkey. I’ve been hiding it from people, and I can’t live that lie anymore.” How long do you think he'll keep the look?

It was certainly interesting for me to read that article. Thanks for it. I like such themes and everything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.

A new look like that means only one thing. He has a cameo appearance in some new teen comedy movie.
it doesn't ook good on him. maybe its for a movie role
in curious for how long its gonna stay there.
He's hot, regardless of facial hair. I'd do him in an instant!
Oh, great, another anti-semitic reporter, going after a jewish guy's nose!!!! You know, some people just can't leave stuff like that alone!! It's an awful stereotype, but to offer it up yet again, in this day and age? You ought to be ashamed...
Oh...facial hair...
never mind.
1 month, no more!
I used to think Jon was so attractive. Both my husband and I hated it when we saw it last night.
Is this a religious act or what? Please, let's all donate a new razor and some shave cream to Jon.
I want the old Jon back!
Oh no! Not yet another bewhiskered man! When I saw Jon's scuzzy looking goatee on the show, I said to my husband, "I find it hard to believe that very many women actually like to get up close to whiskers like that. I'd like to see a poll of how many women really like the scuzzy look." So...my husband forwarded me this article with comments. I guess I overestimated the taste and cleanliness of a lot of women. As for you, Jon, you were such a good looking man! It's a crime to ruin such a handsome face! And no, it was not funny that you came out looking like that! Did you quit brushing your teeth, too? You go shave it off, RIGHT NOW!!!
Jon Stewart ? I thought Al Gore was sitting in as host
He looks hot
Yeah, as a goatee enthusiast, I know such things generate controversy. I wrote a whole blog entry on it, for I was so inspired by the heroic gesture of good ol' Jon. [ www. markingtime4now.wordpress.c0m ] I say go for it. Probably his young kids liked it... no more reason needed than that...
@ CATom: were you born or that stupid or did you have special training?
@ Patrick: sup dude, umad?
THAT REALLY LOOKS SILLY
RATHER STUPID, JUST SITTING THERE
YUK !!!
mmmmm, evil Jon Stewart
Lose the goatee Jon! Grow a REAL beard for God's sake! I do like Brian's idea of a beard-off with Wolf Blitzer, though!
Noooo Jon... no no no.... make it go go go. Not a fan of the facial hair, AT ALL.... maybe I need to start a Facebook campaign– hey, it worked to get Betty White on SNL!!
Ditch the beard. It makes you look older (and not in a good way). Besides, you have a nice face. Why hide it?
A sad effort by him to revive his acting career. The beard makes look like a cartoon version of Sean Penn. He must be hoping to get the parts in movies that Sean Penn turns down.
Hair on someone's face is just plain disgusting. Makes me sick. Can't even look at it without feeling nauseated. I'm so glad I'm not a man. If I had hair on my face, I'd be going through laser hair removal for sure.
I think the scruff makes him look more mature and distinguished and less like a college prankster. Anderson Cooper should follow suit. That guy looks like a piece of veal.
I think he kindof resembles Jim Varney with the goatee, you know, "Ernest Goes to Camp". But, Jon Stewart is a good looking man no matter if he's brown, gray, clean shaven, or with a goatee.
who cares what he looks like? The guy is funny!
Dude, Jon, what IS that on your face? You look hideous with it, get that shaved. Brad Pitt looks pretty nasty too with facial hair, so don't follow in his shoes. Shave it shave it shave it!
I think it looks very distinguished. Way to go, John! You've got ME watching!
Is it me or he looks exactly like Sandra Bullock's ex?
Is it me or he looks exactly like Sandras Bullock's ex?
looks like a tea bag....
It looks hot Jon, if you were on my "team" – I'd be hitting on you.
His best friend, Steven Colbert is perfect as his side kick. I see a man who is so together that few people impress him besides his own talent,-– therefore his witty personality makes you laugh - spontaneously, it's almost a jolt when you actually feel as witty as he does, but – somehow his intelligence and art gets a few slingers in and you realize he is maybe the best dry witty man on TV, and intellectually makes you think -forget yourself, to creat yourself, readjust your ego, or while making light of the world- makes it it seems too hard to see into, even yourself- and never forgets to tell
you where you came from. He gives us an unconditional feeling of being fine, and that everything will be fine, especially ourselves...because we are only human. This of course to me is very important in out world of entertainment. Thank you Mr. Jon Stewart. TV, news -real time- Cnn for not always expecting him to be funny, and yet, , I admire a man that can still remain as eloquent to the people without making us feel badly all the time about our bad news.. He is not a Howard Stern, he is a real genius of media, and I am not sure anyone is as good as he is. He never lets you really believe what is worst is really anything except what is in your minds.
There , I've said my peace for now. Have good week everyone. I'll write again after the weekend or sooner.
( He's got a cool website forum, too. Colbert's is wy out there, maybe however these guys are the most fearless men and there must be a good reason they stay . I am still wondering about Steven's...oh well. Long story short, good night.
Happy Birthday To President Obama too. ( I thought he was Aquarius....oh well.)
It looks 'cool' on him. Makes him look let 'business-y'...approachable and easy-going.
Shaving isn't "green". It's a billion+ dollar waste of time, money, and natural resources.
Love the look. Hope it stays...
The reason men grow facial hair as they get older is to cove sagging skin and double chins. Women are just jealous they can't have such an easy facial fix. But, the reason doesn't matter. The truth is it looks good on him. Keep it, John! Especially the gray. Real men do go gray.
You're supposed to snort it, not rub your chin in it!
I like it!!!
so sad what passes for "news" these days
I absolutely LOVE it!!!!
Of course all of the above knuckleheads just gave Stewart a five minute bit for tonight's show and didn't get a dime of the writer's budget!
LOVE it. Yum yum.
Macaque hosts The Daily Show
He should challenge Wolf Blitzer to a beard-off. Goatee's are whack. Real men have beards.
He look like an old jim rome
who. cares.
I like his beard because it is short and well-kempt. He looks good in it.
combined with the tan, he rocks it. Once the tan goes, he'll just look like a pasty college professor...
Its funny no one has asked what his husband thinks about the facial hair.
Hmmm... looks like someone was eating a Peanut Buster Parfait while hanging upside down.
I think it looks good. It helps that he is a good looking dude.
Disguised as a Southern gentleman, he can sneak into Fox News undetected and spray liberal graffiti in their bathroom stalls.
OMG!!! i didnt know it was possible for a man to have a beard. Wow Thank you CNN for telling me that a reporter has grown a beard. Learn something new everyday!1
Ugly host for an ugly show.
"There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women—and I am neither one." -Greek saying
Nice One! .......and those are the people who are against Jon's facial her. They are all either boys or ladies. No MAN there.
No Mike, that's incorrect...there are THREE types of people in this world: Those who can count, and those who cannot!
I guess he's doing this because he doesn't think he's aging quite fast enough as it is.
All you need is a big fat persian cat to pet along as you speak. Evil look complete!
John Stewart and Rachel Maddow are two of the most intelligent people on TV. At least they do research so they can present true facts. I'm in my late seventies know some history and enjoy them. I also learn a lot get some mental stimulation. I don't care what J. Steward wears, I just think he is GREAT and an asset to his sponsors.
Maybe Charles Manson's evil twin.
Flavor Saver!! LOL
I'm against it, into a fan of facial hair. ...Damn liberal hippy.
Hey Jon! Ever dip your goatee in a jar of Fluff-a-nutter................ON WEED?
Trying to look like a left wing, liberal college professor isn't much of a stretch for Stewart. Now if he could only grow a brain so easily.
You mean Jon Leibowitz, that's his real name.
Yanni writes "Just another smug talking head who belittles other people's ideas and contributes nothing to society"
Contributes nothing to society? This guy is holding back ignorance with a flaming torch and you say he's contributing nothing? Jon deserves to be smug. He's smarter, cooler and wittier than 99% of the popualation - what do you want him to do, act like he's retarded?
And what's up with Yanni? Is this a tribute to the worst infomercial artist of all-time (no offense to Zamfir), or is that your real name? In either case, quite unfortunate.
I'm not certain that I've ever heard anything so patently absurd in all of my life.
Jon Stewart, standup comedian, is "holding back ignorance with a flaming torch"? The Rhine River vis à vis ignorance in your world is the host of a half-hour comedy show? Not a prominent educator, not a great philosopher or statesman or spiritual leader or even an author – but a guy who tells jokes on TV? You realize that the Daily Show isn't real news, right? You're familiar with a cultural world beyond television, right? You're familiar with those thick, bound collections of printed paper called books, right?
If you can, in all candor and seriousness, participate in the pretentious canonization of any entertainer as a paragon of social commentary and wisdom, then clearly this "flaming torch" you claim Stewart carries has burned a hole in your brain.
I feel sorry for you. But I feel even sorrier for your mother.
I'd assumed it was the last remnants of talent seeping out of his pores.
Being an old bird, I like that look and his face goes very well with a beard.
The goatee is the mullet of the 21st century.
Since we can't say "Retard" any more, Sumemi is the retard of the 21st century.
amazing that a goatee can get this many people going. WHO CARES.
LURVE IT – bet it won't last though
The Goatee: A man's ace in the hole when he wants to hide a sagging neckline. Sorry ladies, it's Just for Men!
Just another smug talking head who belittles other people's ideas and contributes nothing to society.
When I saw the headline, "What is on Jon Stewart"s face" I was betting anything it was Obama butt marks
HAHAHA!!! Nice one !
do they realize how much older it makes them look. he just aged 10 years!
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to the state of journalism today? Even if it's an entertainment story – do at least a little bit of research... if you would have done this, you would have found out two things:
(A) – He's growing the beard out for a reprisal of his role for a sequel to The Faculty (as Prof. Edward Furlong)
and (B) – Before that screen capture was taken above, he jokingly dipped his chin into a jar of marshmallow fluff... hence, why it looks whiter than normal.
He looks quite dashing, IMO. I have a thing for facial hair, and he pulls it off much better than I thought he would. If the wife likes it, he may just decide to keep it.
the faculty 2? that would be great lol
I think it looks good on him.
Facial hair, no facial hair – Jon, I could care less. I'm so into what's in your brain, do what you want elsewhere with your body; I'll always adore you.
I alwary though that John was a priate at heart!
For the love of it people.. the man has a goatee and he looks great... is it going to change who he is and how he does his show.. I doubt, the change is good, keep it or lose it... this Canadian still loves you
The fake news from the Bearded One is so much better done than the real news from the beardless fakes.
I'd bet anything that the morons on here who are saying there's anything wrong w/ facial hair are the ugly mofo's who can't grow it. I'd also be willing to bet that any chick who says she doesn't like it has never had the inside of her thighs tickled properly. I know you're tingling just reading this girls...
Or...maybe it just looks stupid.
In other news Lohan farted. Now that is world changing news.
Looks like baby batter, I should know!
Looks like he forgot to swallow.
he looks SHHHO adorable. cutie pie!! mwahh
So here's my guess: He's starring in Western where he has to look tough. Beard helps?
A friend of mine came home from college having grown such a goatee. His mother, an earthy sort, said, "It looks like you have a @%&# growing under your nose." It was a salty word used to describe a woman's nether regions. I have never been able to look at the too-trendy-to-be-hip too-ubiquitous goatee in any other sense since. They are the mullets and the rat-tails and the bald guy pony tails of this generation. Risible.
He needs a grey suit, with a vest, skinny dark tie and a Homberg hat. Straight out of a bunch of 60s espionage movies.
Great, now he REALLY looks like a child molesterer.
Why does it have to be a "look" he's going for. He's a dude maybe he just felt like changing it up for a bit. I don't particularly enjoy having facial hair but I do occasionally let it grow just for the hell of it.
Looks like somebody dumped a load on his chin.
He looks like the most interesting guy in the world from the Dos Equis commercials......
Stay thirsty, my friends.
Jon--Your face is too cute to cover up.
Well, the good Jon has gone back to that happy parallel universe. Enjoy your budget surplus, no wing-nuts and zero corruption in Congress, Jon! Now you'll have nobody to make fun of while your doppelgänger wreaks havoc in our universe. I bet the evil Jon will start to agree with Stephen Colbert a lot more often!
Whats important here is how Jon's wife feels about it or better yet how it feels.
He looks HOT!
Looks like he pushed an ice-cream cone into his chin, must of been drunk when he went to Baskin Robbins.
or on meth
It will be gone tonight. It was a vacation mistake.
FYI: That is not a beard. and no, it's not a "goatee beard", either. there is no such thing. The Right Reverend Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top has a beard, the oxi-clean dude had a beard. That is not a beard.....
Jon, your beard is weird.
Joh,
What's next a pirate earring and beads strung in your hair?
Honestly my first impression was you have the face of Jesse James if he lost 30 or 40 pounds.
Ok, so you got a beard. That don't impress me much.
The picture looks much worse than the actual beard. As part of the gag, he stuck his chin in a bottle of Fluff marshmellow goo. The white stuff stuck to his beard like glue and he was left with it for the remainder of the show. That's why all the white marshmellow is concentrated at the point of his chin.
Having said that...I wasn't a fan of the look even before he coated it with Fluff.
I don't mind facial hair, I just wish his was ONE color! It looks so weird... and slightly creepy
if you guys actually watched the show you'd know its not that gray...that's marshmallow fluff lol...it is greying but its not as bad as that picture up there
Hey, it does look a little strange-and if it is for real-so what. My hair began turning gray when I was 29 and people still give me grief about the gray-but as one the comments made above...I do have stories to tell and I earned every one of these gray hairs-not to mention the old gene thing. My Dad died when he was 41 and his hair was completely gray. Whatever, and oh yeah, Todd-learn to spell and/or make sentences that make sense, please.
Very Blitzeresque. Does he get a situation room now?
It should be made clear that most of the white on his chin is literally marshmallow fluff.
go full beard or go home-goats taste good in vindaloo-but they don't look good on mens faces.
yum... vindaloo.
not sure what tasting good has to do with a goat being on someone's face, but it is still mildly amusing. and true... they do not look good on mens' faces.
YO Jon– I have nothing against snowmonkeys, I just wouldn't want my sister to marry one.
If he was balding or thinning hair, he would be my love of my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems like the gays favor facial hair and regular people don't. Go figure. I don't hold it against you John.
We do.. John is a total cub!! grrrr
an article on john stewart's facial hair, lmao.
I am one of the few old enough to remember Jon when he was young.
Like when he was on MTV? I remember that.
Cool, got that Lucifer thing going.
Clean shaven, Jon is super handsome. Now, he reminds me of my brother.
I was actually hoping for egg ... raw or maybe something else along the same lines........
Looks icky.......& gray.
Stewart has to like the way the guy looks who stares back at him in the mirror, so if he likes it, good for him! At least he isn't wearing pieces of furniture and trying to pass it off as style...GAGA!
looks wrong (or as Todd would say, rong it looks). I vote for the razor.
Watch your back Blitzer!!!!
Jon, get rid of it. It reminds me of Dude Palin.
Jon looks like he is constipated and needs help. I don't care for the tufts of hair on each side of his chin.
He'll be tickled red to know that it makes him a dead ringer for Leon Trotski.
Yeah, I'll have a bucket of extra crispy, and a couple pieces of original recipie.
(Alternative wise-acre responses:)
The south shall rise again!
The alternate Star Trek universe strikes again!
Mr. Stuart, why did you put this couch in your office? And why do you want me to tell you about my mother?
D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis .... and Jon.
HA! Too darn funny!
My grandfather used to say "Why cultivate it on your face when it grows wild on your $%hole". Quite classy I know. Where it with pride John....it looks good.
Your grandfather was in the Army, wasn't he?
That's great! I'd love to hear more pearls from Grampa! lol!
I like it!
I think he needs to do a segment on the many names for men't facial hair.....my favorite- The Womb Broom
flavor savor! oh this game will turn out badly hehehehe
Or the dreaded Herpe Curtain...
Ball Duster...
Sorry Jon, had to mention it.
Jon, please start using the grecian formula and ditch the salt-n-pepper look. You're too young for that. The Beard can stay!
Jess, grey happens. Jon Stewart is, patently, not to young. Do you have some kind of existential horror over the simple fact that people do, in fact, age? He's 48. His beard and hair are greying. Why should he pretend to be younger than he is? There is nothing wrong with being the age he is, or twice that age.
As someone who recently got sick of hiding gray I am so happy to see others not afraid of it!
looks good run with it, shaving sucks, much easier/less painful to trim
I agree with Amanda I like this look. I'm a fan of facial hair on men if it's neat and trimmed like this. And please – no "Just for Men" – that stuff looks so fake. Of course, he's cute without it, too. I met him once a long time ago when I was in college and I think he's just as handsome now as he was then.
I completely agree! He looks smokin' hot with this look!
I guess he didn't want to be the last customer at Starbuck's without a goatee.
i think he looks hot also
Definitely HOT – no matter what look he sports!
Personally, I love the look but I'm a huge fan of facial hair on men. Jon looks hot.
Amen!! He's hot no matter what he does!!!
completely agree – HOT
John Stewart, Hot? Get your eyes checked, or your heads examined.
So now some guy named Robert Noonan is the arbiter of what makes men look hot or not?! Robert, it may be you who needs their head examined.
I watch Jon every night. I could really care less about what he looks like. Now if Megan Fox had a goatee, then I'd probably be against that.
why oh why does every other man in America think the chin hair/goatee is a cool look? Two words, dude: common and dated. yuck
Exactly, this is a bad look for him. I thought his face looked dirty. It covers up some of facial expressions and it is his facial expressions that make him so funny. So beard = unfunny.
As opposed to every man without a goatee is not uncommon?
And if we, and our significant others, are happy with it... why does it bother you? Are you that insecure in your own physical appearance that you have to judge others for doing things that make them happy?
Your just jealous because you are one of those people that try sooooooo hard to grow a goatee but it's patchy, grows longer it places where it shouldn't and isn't thick enough to make you look like anything other than a teenager. Don't worry you'll be a big boy soon with a goatee of your very own. Don't be a hater.
Wade, that is the funniest comment I read today. You are right. I don't know what is the problem with all these REAL MEN haters. I say YUCK to looking like teenager. Up Goatees!!!
Jon looks hot facial hair or not...I think you are just jealous.
He looks like a record store clerk.
LOL
Ha Ha you said "record store" and "clerk"... you're old! But so am I as I remember when both of those actually existed
SHANNON, that is hilarious and sooo true!
and, sadly, i didnt even notice David R's old-fashioned ways--eegads, i can be such a flibbertygibbet!!
Dude, if you're gonna have a beard, get some Just for Men and get back in the game bro!
There's nothing wrong with a man looking distinguished. Our culture puts too much emphasis on looking like a 20-something even when we're more like 50- or 60-something, and personally, I think it's wasted. Flaunt those gray hairs, people! It means you've survived and you've got stories to tell!
I'm going down to the car to get my security badge and headphones.
lol
The color says energy....... but the gray says experience...............
Some of us, many of us, absolutely love gray. Keep it Jon, I am quite sure you will look wonderful no matter what you do anyway.
just for men touch of gray my man, touch of gray!
Couldn't disagree more... the gray is bad ass!
that is very funny, but i'd still totally do him! smart and funny (oh yeah, and rich too), yep, i can overlook some ugly facial hair for all that!!
"Your beard is weird." Buy some Just for Hosts!
Usually I'm ok with grey if it looks distinguished. But I kind of think Jon – who usually looks really good – looks like he dipped his chin in some yogurt. Not really the most flattering look for him!
Its only a matter of time before Bond catches up with you and stops your evil doings Stewart!!!
You win. Right here, this comment, for the big prize of the whole interwebs: You Win.
HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Hey todd, nice grammar.
wow is there something wrong with todd? That was the dumbest post I have ever seen..
Hey Todd, How do you know what a meth dealer looks like?
Todd, Meth induced comments are not accepted here. Wait until you sober up.
Todd... you seriously need to learn how to write a coherent sentence. In fact, I'm amazed that you even managed to type http://www.cnn.com into the address bar.
hey Todd, way got to. u reilly nailed it! lol U tell it like is it. lol let's toke some cristal meth 2gater sometime. lol KKK lol
Says who??
It's obvious you're no lady!
Everything looks like spooge to you.
yes, yes it does. LOL
Next time wipe off the keys before you type.
That's because you're a 13 year old imbecile.
No, you're a 13 year old imbecile. NA NA NANA NA!!!!
