Jon Stewart should stand aside and let someone younger run the show

88. Sure, but two things...

One, that stuff is important, but that doesn't mean that people aren't thinking about age. We can't put our heads in the sand. These other things can be discussed as well, while not simply ignoring the elephant in the room (even if it's largely the media that has put the elephant there in the first place). But that also brings me to...

Two, that stuff is not as easy to make a humorous, entertaining sketch about. That is, after all, the point of the show.

I think what you're looking for is more of a John Oliver approach. But we also have John Oliver for that. That's not what Stewart does. But sure, not every show is for every viewer, and even not every left-leaning show is for every left-leaning viewer.

People here similarly sometimes get bugged when Colbert takes jabs at Biden. Colbert, likewise, is not for everyone. But mass entertainment is not exclusively targeted toward "us." And again, the show is much tougher on TFG, and there is again that argument to be made that the show makes its TFG points more strongly (at least to the "general public" ) because it does not see our candidate as flawless.
