Jon Stewart’s advocacy for first responders and their families was never a calculated plan; it grew organically from a desire to support those who serve. The award-winning host of "The Daily Show" explained that his motivation stemmed from wanting to feel useful to people who dedicate their lives to helping others.
"These aren’t the X-Men," Stewart told The Associated Press. "They’re not superheroes. They’re just men and women that made a decision. And that decision was, ‘I’m gonna be there for people in their worst moments. Whatever happens, happens. But that’s what I’ve decided to do.’"
