Jon has an uncanny ability to speak truth to power. We don't have many of those right now. If I were president, I might ask him to join an advisory board, similar to what Kal Penn did under Obama.

What we need are more young and progressive people running for office. Everywhere. Especially at the local level.

The number of religious Karens running unopposed is too damn high especially at the school board level.

I dunno, a president who actually knows how to use the bully pulpit again could be just the thing we need.

Then he will be Al Franken. I really enjoyed his time in office throwing truth in people's faces, but it didnt come to much.

I've been wanting him to do this for years now.

...telling reporters, “We are huge fans of Colbert. We love the show.”

Yeah, we see through your bullshit corpo speak. I'm very glad to see more people waking up to corpo speak and how little it means.

Stewart won’t miss a beat if his show is canceled. He will go elsewhere

His podcast is quite good if people haven't listened to it!

He needs to realize that as President he could do a show every day.
