Jon Stewart, busting balls in the mainstream media

Jon Stewart - Mark Petersen/Redux for NY Magazine

Race for the Cure 2010 - Stephen Colbert and Rick Lazio

Stephen has a history of participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and we’re happy to see that he’s kept that streak alive this year.

Kudos to Stephen for once more championing a very worthy cause!
