The former host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, did indeed make a return to said Daily Show last night. He wasn’t filling in for Trevor, as his t-shirt and jeans might suggest, or there to promote some book or movie he was working on. Stewart only sought the platform to make sure that the Zadroga Bill, which ensures proper health care for 9/11 first responders, will be renewed.

As longtime fans of The Daily Show know, Stewart is at his most affecting when he’s fired up about the issue and he did so in the two segments he got last night.
