J.K. Rowling is a welfare success story.

She lived on government assistance for years as a single mother before Harry Potter made her a billionaire and she seems pretty damn grateful for those benefits.

In fact, the successful author revealed (above) she pays "a lot of tax" on her fortune to the English government, but doesn't mind! She actually feels indebted to the system that provided for her and her child when nobody else would and told Jon Stewart:

It's been 2 years since the President appeared on The Daily Show.

Maybe it took a mutual desire to save Big Bird, but Barack Obama is finally returning to see Jon Stewart next week!

Hey, with a team-up like this, how can you go wrong? One is the most trusted man in political discourse, and one works on a network with Mr. Hanky The Christmas Poo!

Oh, those are both Jon Stewart? Oops!

We can't wait to see the POTUS discuss last week's debate and the upcoming election. He never seems more at ease than when he's on the fake news show.

Maybe it's because he knows Jon is in his corner. But hey, Mitt Romney has Lindsay Lohan backing him, so… guess they're square!

Well, Romney is anyway!

Leave it to Jon Stewart and the Daily Show to re-imagine the classic children's television show (above) so that its conservative critics can finally accept its educational value.

Stephen Colbert co-hosted Good Morning America on Tuesday, but made sure to promote his newest book, America Again: Re-Becoming The Greatness We Never Weren’t, in the process.

He took a break from the anchor desk to sit down for an interview (above) with George Stephanopoulos and discussed a variety of issues like the upcoming presidential debate, New York's un-American soda ban, and fixing the economy.

Perhaps the most important topic was Jon Stewart's debate against Bill O'Reilly this Saturday.

It was a small portion of the HIGHlarious interview, but Colbert made it pretty clear who he favored when he said:

We certainly enjoyed Barack and Michelle Obama's appearance on The View yesterday, but not everyone is as easy to please as us.

The President's being criticized for making time for a talk show while NOT clearing his schedule to meet with world leaders during the U.N. General Assembly.

This wasn't just another fail for Fox News to focus on either. Even Jon Stewart was pissed!

The Emmy-winning Daily Show host took a jab at the Commander in Chief (above) and pointed out his flawed logic by saying:

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wins yet another Emmy for Best Variety Series!

And we hope he does it for at least fifteen more. Because he's amazing!!
