Born on November 28, 1962, in New York City, Stewart grew up in a Jewish family in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. His early experiences and education laid the groundwork for his future career in entertainment and political satire.

After graduation, Stewart moved to New York City, where he began pursuing a career in stand-up comedy.
