Jon Stewart to return as host of ceremony honoring first responders
Jon Stewart is an award-winning American TV host. He focuses his charity work on first responders and their families. First responders are police officers, firefighters, and other emergency workers. He says he never really planned this, but it just happened. Stewart explained that he wanted to feel useful and to support people who spend their lives helping others.
"They're not superheroes," he said. "They're just men and women that made a decision." He added that they chose to be there for people in their worst moments.
On September 18, 2026, Stewart announced that he will return to host the Roll Call of Heroes, a ceremony in New York City. It will take place on October 28, 2026. The event marks National First Responders Day, a day that honors emergency workers. He said he enjoys standing face to face with the individuals being honored and meeting young people who are active in their communities.
Jillian Crane, the president and CEO of the First Responders Children's Foundation, stated the nonprofit is glad he will return. Stewart has helped first responders, especially those with illnesses related to the September 11 attacks. Crane noted this makes him a great host. When Stewart supports a charity, he wants to be fully involved, not just for a short time. Taking action, he added, helps him fight feelings of helplessness and worry.
