Alison Stewart is an American radio and television journalist. She was one of the hosts of the Bryant Park Project, a morning drive news program from NPR. Stewart first gained widespread visibility as a political correspondent for MTV News in the 1990s.

MSNBC alum, and all-around TV sweetheart Alison Stewart (so says Chris, who worked with her too) will be guest hosting The Rachel Maddow Show tonight and tomorrow night.

She went on to anchor news segments for New York City's WHTZ, host PBS' Act Against Racism campaign, and contributed to Swing magazine.
On November 18, 2008, Stewart filled in as substitute host on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show (TV).

Stewart served as a panelist on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! on August 2, 2008. She appeared again on August 31, 2008 and October 11, 2008, making it likely she will become a regular on the show.
