http://www.mediaite.com/tv/stewart-if-fckface-von-clownstick-trump-runs-in-2016-i-might-not-retire/Jon Stewart welcomes another slew of Republican candidates to the 2016 race Thursday night. And while George Pataki, Lindsey Graham and Rick Santorum cant make him change his mind about leaving The Daily Show, a real-life Donald Trump candidacy might just make him scrap his retirement plans and put Trevor Noah out of a job.
While Santorum and Pataki might be showing early signs of promise, Stewart said they would have to work a bit harder to catch up to the mid-season, mildly racist form of someone like Carly Fiorina who said the Chinese can take a test, but what they cant do is innovate. Or Lindsey Graham, who said he knows the Iranians are lying because he family ran a pool room.
Theyre all very colorful characters, but for me for me there can be only one Fuckface von Clownstick, Stewart said, before playing the clip of Trump saying he knows how to defeat ISIS, but doesnt want to give it away.
Not because I dont have a foolproof plan, I do, Stewart said as Trump. But Im not going to tell you, Im withholding it for now, because I am a tremendous asshole.

Richard Nixon, 1968. Yeah, right. Politicians with secret plans are not among my favorite things.

(16,230 posts)6. Nixon was my first thought.
Surely Trump remembers Nixon doing this. It's almost like he's looking for ways to make people point and laugh at him.

But he said we'd have to elect him first before he'd tell us the plan

(14,084 posts)10. Forgot about that one!
I guess that's what happens when you get to be an old fart...1968 is clear as a bell, but 2008? Not so much.

I could support a Trump run in that instance.
The guy replacing Stewart is BOOOOOOORING.

Jon Stewart is running a boot camp intended to help war veterans break into the television industry. In fact, he has been running this program with some degree of secrecy for three years, according to a New York Times interview with the long-time host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

"You get into the television industry generally by going to certain colleges known for having good television programs, getting internships and getting to know people who work in the industry," Stewart told the Times. "A lot of veterans never had that opportunity because they were busy at war. This is a way to give them that chance.
