I can’t wait. But, there is potentially a political component. If Stewart has the same influence over younger demographics as he did in his heyday — if he has 10% of it — it could be a problem for Democrats.

While he is unabashedly left-leaning, satirical attacks on both parties are more likely to land on Biden. (1) Because the audience is left-leaning, (2) Trump’s supporters are more baked in, and (3) even intelligent people manage to talk themselves into the currently fantastical idea that there is more than one presidential option on the left.

In short, taking away even a handful of votes from Biden turns comical problems into electoral ones.
