To me southpark of is the epitome of why Jon Stewart quit. They don’t actually do anything to solve the issues. They do very very small amounts of education and that’s it.

Jon quit to try and fight for a single issue rather than spend his time whining that others do nothing.

He quit to help lobby to get the 9/11 first responders the healthcare they were promised.

Literally in the months after he quit he only resurfaced to promote his work and even leading up to his final days he was discussing it a lot on the daily show.

I think he and his wife run some sort of animal sanctuary in NJ.
