He became a citizen of the United States in 2014.
Career
Jones joined The Daily Show cast in September 2005 as a contributor. Jones was promoted to a full-time reporter after his wife left the show in late December due to family separation. Carl Monday, and Laguna Beach, followed him with a large following at The Daily Show. "Jason Jones has set the bar too high," Rob Corddry said before he left The Daily Show. I can't say the things he says to people. His book The true values of Wasilla, Alaska, is one of the most popular pieces on the Daily Show website. Jones appeared in a pilot for the sitcom Love Is Relative on September 20, 2014, when he left The Daily Show briefly to appear in a pilot.
Jones was sent to Tehran in June 2009 right before the 2010 presidential election was tense. Journals in Iran included an interview with Newsweek journalist Maziar Bahari, who was detained after the bitter 2009 presidential election in Iran. During Bahari's time in jail, his interrogators charged him with espionage and used Jones' testimony against him. The charges were fabricated later, according to Bahari, who later confirmed that they were false. In the film version of Bahari's ordeal, Rosewater, Jones appeared as himself before interviewing Bahari. Daily Show host Jon Stewart wrote and directed the film. Iranians' greater understanding of the US in comparison to Americans' knowledge of Iran, was mocked in another segment of Iran. TV Guide classified the segment as his signature segments on the show, alongside a 2011 piece in which he invited cameras to his vaping.
In the absence of Jon Stewart, he co-hosted The Daily Show with his wife Samantha Bee on October 7, 2014. On that episode, he revealed that he had recently become an American citizen.
Jason Jones revealed that he would leave The Daily Show in 2015 to begin working on The Detour, a TBS show that he co-wrote and executive produce with wife Samantha Bee.
Jones was sent as a satisfaction reporter to cover the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He often mocked Russian culture and the country's perceived police state on his tour. Jones tried to find a protest spot in Sochi in one episode and was encouraged to park further outside of the city to an abandoned parking lot that had been designated as the city's protest zone by police officers, but then police officers approached him and asked to leave due to a lack of valid paperwork. The crew's cameras and other electronic equipment were jammed as they entered an apartment to conduct the interview during their interview with opposition figure Alexei Navalny. Jones also managed to schedule a mock interview with Mikhail Gorbachev, who insisted Gorbachev put up the wall, a play on president Ronald Reagan's begged me to "tear down" the Berlin Wall. Alexei Navalny was arrested several days after doing the interview with Jones, which was also mocked by Jon Stewart. Jones was able to talk with Sergey Markov, a well-known Russian politician and scholar. Jones grilled Markov about Russia's stand on gay rights, to which Markov replied that there are no issues regarding gay rights in Russia and that "you are absolutely free to have sex with this table." The statement has since gained notoriety in relation to Russia's stance on LGBT rights. During the course, Jones also referred to Russia as a conservative paradise, noting the country's low flat tax, pro-gun ownership, opposition to gay marriage, and the Orthodox Church's powerful presence. He also stated that Russia may be the "absolute red state."
Jones has also appeared on television with his Canadian sketch comedy troupe The Bobroom, as well as being the host of Craft Corner Deathmatch on the Style Network in 2005. He co-wrote, co-starred in, and co-produced the 2004 film Ham & Cheese with fellow Bobroom alumnus Mike Beaver; the film was also nominated for six Canadian Comedy Awards in 2005. He has appeared in several feature films, including the 2002 Syfy original film Terminal Invasion and the 2003 film Public Domain, which also starred Don McKellar, Nicole DeBoer, and Beaver.
He appeared on Queer as Folk on television, as well as on CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother as "Tony." Len Pewels, host of the fictional Len Pewels' America, has appeared on NBC's Law & Order twice. Jones appeared in a CBS sitcom about a celebrity chef (to be played by Jones) and his partner (to be played by Samantha Bee) in 2008. In a film called Coopers' Camera (USA Cooper's Christmas), Jones and Bee starred as husband and wife in which their Christmas was shot on a new (1985, at the time) camera.
