    In most cases I agree. Stewart is not a political neophyte though. I mean it’s not like he runs a reality show

    His humour requires wit, understanding and nuance. His product is much more intelligent and complex than say, a competition show where people compete for a " job" with some thinly veiled gangster.

    So basically he’s waaaaaaay over qualified to be president.

      I listen to his podcast weekly. I haven’t listened to the one from the OP, but in the past year I have become very disillusioned with Stewart.

      Every interview is an absolute softball “what’s your favorite color” BS where each and every answer is a boot that is slobbered on with “BAM”, and “BARS” and every misdirect and deflection by the guest is just accepted and the root of the few harder questions goes unanswered without protest outside of maybe the Christie interview.

      The Jeffries interview was absolutely embarrassing, for example.

      It’s very different from Stewart 15+ years ago.
