After leaving ''The Daily Show'', Stewart took up playing the [[drum]]s, saying it was partly to give his life the structure he no longer had without a daily late-night show to work on. He has been taking drum lessons from New Jersey–based drum teacher Andy Bova, a former member of the [[Indie rock|indie-rock]] band No Wine For Kittens.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.grammy.com/news/jon-stewart-plays-drums-benefit-suicide-prevention |title=Jon Stewart Plays Drums To Benefit Suicide Prevention |first=Renée |last=Fabian |work=[[Grammys]] |date=November 9, 2017 |access-date=October 26, 2023 }}</ref>
