Jon Stewart during Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" on Dec. 6, 2011
We don't usually check comedians, but a factual claim by Jon Stewart piqued our interest.
The Daily Show host said members of Congress in the 1700s and early 1800s often worked on Christmas. He cited a clip from the History Channel.
Really?
PolitiFact Rhode Island dug into the congressional attendance records and discovered Congress actually rarely met on Christmas.
