He shouldn't have relentlessly mocked Biden age. Honestly Stewart probably did more damage then Fox news or any right wing media outlet, because most of Stewart's audience are Liberals and Progressives. Yet he relentlessly mocked the age of a sitting President in the face of a fascist threat in Trump. Doesn't matter if he sometimes mocked Trumps age too, because Trump supporters didn't care about his age and any fool could see it resorting to ageism only helped Trump and Stewart's ageism also help to kill Democratic enthusiasm. I do remember a clip of Trevor Noah saying "We treated Biden like shit" which seems to put him at odds with Stewart on the ageism.
