I had always heard that he never finished but apparently he did. :shrug:

"In 1981, I lost my virginity only to gain it back on appeal in 1983,"

Stewart also offered some advice: "Not everyone can walk around in an alcoholic haze and then at the age of 40, decide to be president. You've got to work really hard."

About "the real world," Stewart said, "To be blunt, we broke it . . . Somewhere between the gold rush of easy Internet profits and an arrogant sense of endless empire, we heard sort of a pinging noise, and the damn thing just died on us. So, I apologize.

"But, here's the good news. You fix this thing, and you're the new greatest generation," Stewart said, referring to the war on terror. "Even if you don't, you're not going to have much trouble surpassing my generation. If you end up getting your picture taken next to a naked-guy pile of enemy prisoners and don't give the thumbs up, you outdid us."
