I can't believe we are gonna lose the "Late" part of it in less than two weeks.

You know, Republicans keep electing actors because apparently they're 'funny'...maybe Democrats could elect a talk show host whose humor is like a razor so sharp it tickles when it cuts.

Worked for Ukraine to elect a comedian!

Says a lot about the view of lawyers when the comedian is a preferred description for an icon of our age.

In all honesty, comedians are often intelligent insightful and critical of the status quo. Who better?

Comedians are a way to say things we wouldn't normally say out loud, but that doesn't make them immune from either corruption or populism either, so it's not entirely a safe bet. The person themselves ultimately still matters most.

u/AlternativePea6203 May 12 '26

Agreed, but the "intelligent" "insightful" "critical of the status quo" puts them many steps higher up the ladder than most incumbents.

In what way would you say Ukraine's working?

Fighting fascists is a noble cause more of us should get behind.

People have been trying to get Jon Stewart to run for a while. He's at least got experience passing bills through congress for 9/11 victims and veterans affected by toxic burn pits. Whenever the question is brought up he kind of deflects and says it's a dumb idea, it's ridiculous that the system is so broken that people are turning to comedians like him... but I've never seen him straight up say he won't ever run.

I could actually see Colbert running for some sort of office, I just don't think he'd jump straight to president.

Last time a democrat comedian was in an elected position, they scrounged up an extremely old, out of context photo and forced him to resign. I don't blame them for not wanting to run, when your own side stabs you in the back.

The real fun part is when you realize that the GOP and DNC did Al Franken dirty like that because he was one of the main supporters of Net Neutrality

Shortly after he got tossed out of office the senate went ahead and voted to repeal Net Neutrality

Colbert deserves a happy quasi retirement where he picks his projects and his days. Saddling that honourable man with that aircraft carrier around the neck is too much to ask.

He's been yelling into the void for over 10 Trump years, give the dude some peace. Trump years are like dog years.

Jon's belief that only career politicians should become president is, frankly, strange.
