Pundit, wag, TV wit, anchorman, William & Mary alumnus, AARP recruit, that rare bird known as a Jewish New Yorker, and now movie director.
I’m interviewing Jon Stewart about his film directing debut, “Rosewater,” and as always, I’m looking for suggested lines of questioning.
“Rosewater” is about an ex-pat Iranian journalist imprisoned after reporting on the Green Revolution, and appearing on “The Daily Show.” It’s a compelling story and a slick job of directing, which considering Stewart’s own cinematic career, is a delightful surprise. I’ll be asking him where he learned how to do that, but I need more. Much more. From you.
Questions for J. Stew? Post them as comments below, and thanks for the help.

When you decided you wanted to direct, what kind of movie did you anticipate making? (Comedy, drama, documentary….)
Which reaction to your undertaking the Rosewater project has surprised you most?
When is the interview?
Early Sunday. Thanks for the suggestion. Story-profile posted. Narrowed the focus of it, upon getting his answers to assorted questions.
