After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.
He has explicitly said before that he does not want to run for president and does not want that job.
Which is ironically part of the reason he’d be so good at it.
Which is all the more reason to have a massive write in campaign for him.
Those who do not lust for power, are those most suitable to be burdened with it.
I get what you’re saying but that’s cruel as fuck.
I think that job would kill him.
Something tells me electing a fucking mentally declining nazi with a hitler fetish is just a skosh more cruel.
Fair point, but I’m talking about the cruelty to a man who does not want the job.
It’s not that cruel. I get what you’re saying and agree a little. But if drafted into the job, I think he’d be proud to serve his country and the world.
I think it’s not just the main part of the job he doesn’t want. He doesn’t want to be the center of the media storm. He doesn’t want his years of testicle jokes to end up harming the country. He doesn’t want the job of begging for the job.
And the main job would be a duty he’d serve, not a fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
If the circumstances are right, I’d consider writing him in. If there wasn’t a more important vote. Honestly I should have done it when I lived in Maryland.
