Well I guess I fell in love with Jon when I watched his old MTV show. I thought he was adorable (along with that dude with the long bond hair who was a VJ -- does anybody remember that Curry dude?). I didn't become really obsessed I until Jon began hosting The Daily Show. My husband used to force me to watch it during the Kosovo coverage, so it was his fault! So, I started talking to this dude online from New York City online and after a couple of month I went to meet the guy and he took me to a taping of TDS. The guy was a disaster, but the taping was great. Jon turned out to be a really nice guy and he was so funny. I also got to meet Steve Carell and Vance DeGeneres. If you ever get a chance to go to a taping, GO! It's a little weird, but it's really cool! And Jon won't disappoint you since he always offers to hump you at the end of the taping if you're good. [Editor's note: This is a far better incentive than Letterman's old gift of Late Show sponges.]
