In mid-1962, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was given a partial transcript of an interview with Miles Davis. It covered jazz, of course, but it also included Davis’s ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writer—future Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the time—back to glean even more opinion and insight from Davis. The resulting exchange, published in the September 1962 issue, became the first official Playboy Interview and kicked off a remarkable run of public inquisition that continues today—and that has featured just about every cultural titan of the last half century.To celebrate the Interview’s 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon’s Kindle Direct platform. Here is the interview with The Daily Show host Jon Stewart from the March 2000 issue.
Jon Stewart: The Playboy Interview (Singles Classic) (50 Years of the Playboy Interview) Reviews
-
This interview was published in 2000. Jon Stewart was just starting his tenure on the Daily Show. It'd be interesting to read an interview with him now, as he's wrapping up his work on that show. Stewart is still young and a bit inexperienced, but it's still basically the Jon Stewart we've all come to know - sharp wit and a thinking human being.

Insightful Interview
This interview with comedian and former Daily Show host Jon Stewart reveals a lot about himself and what drives his style of humor.
