Stewart stepping back from the Daily Show is also probably a big reason why Trump got elected in 2016.

That may be true but it's unfair to put so much on one man.

It is, though I think it was just a perfect shitstorm of Stewarts way of eviscerating trump was missing, disillusionment in the obama era (mainly die to republican obstructionism), disillusionment in Hillary as a candidate, some people wanting revenge for Bernie and ofc, reddit+facebook+twitter disinformation campaigns being new and highly effective at manipulating voters

Yeah, I agree. I'm mostly just wondering why we can't clone him?

Whether it’s true or not it has definitely crossed Jon’s mind a time or two I’m sure.
