Jon Stewart

A recent survey among users of the Jewish dating site JDate and its Christian counterpart ChristianMingle asked the question: “Who is your favorite political news funnyman?” Young Jewish singles prefer Jon Stewart, who finished first in a landslide, with 51 percent of the vote.

At the Christian website, 39 percent of users cited Stephen Colbert, who is Catholic, with Stewart finishing a close second. Colbert finished third among JDate users with 18 percent, behind HBO’s outspoken Bill Maher, who came in second with 23 percent of the votes, and ahead of Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” host Seth Meyers, who garnered 8 percent. — jta
