Jon Stewart took time last night to look at the trending topic of 'Dad Bods', defined as "a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. The dad bod says, 'I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time.'"
Does this mean men no longer need to lust after the ripped physiques they are so accustomed to seeing on the cover of 'health' magazines (see below)? Stewart brought in Daily Show correspondent Kristen Schaal to weigh in. Schaal commented, "It's finally time that society recognizes that a man's body changes when he has kids." But, what about women? Is there such a thing as a 'Mom Bod'? Sort of. The 'Mom Bod', as Schaal points out, is something slightly different: the Hollywood 'Mom-bshell.' Said Schaal with biting sarcasm and yet scathing sincerity of a news broadcast where a svelte female anchor was flanked by two 'Dad Bod'-ed male colleagues, "If that woman had a belly at all they would not let her on that show."
