Jon Stewart & Wife Tracey Open Animal Sanctuary in NJ Post 'Daily Show' Hosting Job

Jon Stewart will end his hosting duties of Comedy Central's The Daily Show on Aug. 6, 2015, and this week we learned of one of his projects he has going on for him after he departs. We're not talking about another TV gig, though. According to new reports, Stewart and his wife, Tracey McShane have purchased a farm in New Jersey, with plans of converting it to an animal sanctuary!

Farm Sanctuary, a non-profit organization that McShane has been involved with for some time, announced the news this week.

"The couple recently bought a farm in New Jersey with the intention of providing a home for farm animals rescued from cruelty, and in November, Tracey purchased Adopt a Farm Animal sponsorships for all of their Thanksgiving guests," the organization said, according to UPROXX.

Meanwhile, Stewart recently had president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, Gene Baur as a guest on The Daily Show. Clearly, this family is dedicated to this cause and hope to help out with this new farm purchase.

"The joy of interacting with animals as friends instead of using them for human consumption is life-changing," McShane said, according to a new press release announcing this big news. "A trip to Farm Sanctuary should be on everyone's to-do list, but you can also bring a little bit of sanctuary home when you sponsor an animal through the Adopt a Farm Animal Program."

Plus, it sounds like their children will be happy with this new farm because, as Tracey explained, "promises of animal shelter visits in exchange for completed homework are the norm in the Stewart household."
