Whether you’re a flaming liberal or a staunch neocon, you have to appreciate Jon Stewart’s wit and humor. Especially when The Daily Show host takes on the Mafia. Born in New York City in the 1960s, Stewart has exhibited a fascination with all things Mafia since he began his career as a comedian and has frequently done mob bits on his show - that’s bits, not hits.

At Gangsters Inc. we can appreciate such humor. That is why, in light of Stewart’s departure from The Daily Show this year – he will be replaced by Trevor Noah, we have compiled a list of the best Mafia-related bits Stewart and his The Daily Show did on Comedy Central.
