Jon Stewart Show - Gin Blossoms "Hey Jealousy" - TV Performance (1993)

The Gin Blossoms made a memorable appearance on The Jon Stewart Show during the show’s MTV era, performing on the October 25, 1993 episode hosted by a young Jon Stewart. The band performed at the height of the breakout success of their album New Miserable Experience, bringing their jangly alternative-rock sound and hits like “Hey Jealousy” to MTV audiences just as 1990s alternative music was exploding into the mainstream. The performance captured the loose, edgy atmosphere of early-1990s MTV late night television, with Stewart’s informal interview style and the show’s reputation for featuring emerging rock acts that were often ignored by more traditional talk shows. The appearance also came during a bittersweet period for the band, shortly before the death of founding songwriter Doug Hopkins, whose music helped define the Gin Blossoms’ signature sound.
