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.
Great! Now do President.
Does Jon even want the job? It sucks. You have to deal with so many roadblocks. You get blamed for everything. You pitch ideas and make demands and some shithead dept will block you and some company throws billions to turn the public against you.
Unless he finds loopholes like Trump and load it up with toadies willing to bow to the king, which I doubt Stewart wants to abuse because he has ethics, it’ll be hard to get much of the government on his side.
Even basic shit like feeding school kids is a fucking political theater by assholes.
He doesn’t want the job. That’s kinda the point. We could use someone who doesn’t WANT the job but does it anyway.
The only people who should be allowed to hold power are people who don’t want it.
