Jimmy Carter Visits Jon Stewart

Posted on December 7, 2005

Former United States President Jimmy Carter made an appearance on The Daily Show Monday night to promote his new book, Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis (Simon and Schuster). Carter was pretty funny, actually. He told Stewart that he'd been the governor of Georgia, the President of the United States and had won a Nobel Peace Prize, but to his grandchildren, if he hadn't been a guest on The Daily Show, he really wasn't important. He also said that he Tivos the show, and was scared to be a guest on the show. That surprised Stewart, who then compared woodcarving notes and asked to visit Carter's woodcarving workshop, where he's made over 100 pieces of furniture (when he's not building houses for the poor or overseeing other countries' elections). The book is currently #7 on Amazon.com
