Most people in America think of Jon Stewart as a comedian or satirist, whether they like him or not. With Stewart's retirement now in the works, the BBC has chosen to focus on his more philosophical side. In 30 seconds, the BBC highlights Stewart's thoughts on the internet, the news, convictions, and life. They even put the quotes (complete with British spelling) over stock inspirational music. It must be nice to have a global following. Watch. —Peter Weber
