(258,847 posts)I remember reading that there's one subject he does not enjoy discussing - though it's tough for him to avoid these days - and that's Donald Trump.

(258,847 posts)Probably only a day, yet we have yet to see or hear anything except a garbled message from someone who has no clue what he's even talking about...

(258,847 posts)He obviously goes to great lengths to inform us, but he makes it palatable with great humor. I know a lot were disappointed that he didn't take over The Daily Show, but this is the perfect medium for him. As a citizen of the world, he can choose to bring up subjects that we wouldn't hear about otherwise - and he doesn't have to focus on Trump, which I've read is his least favorite subject!
