Jon Stewart Welcomes Donald Trump To His New Debate Moderating Job

When Jon Stewart heard that Herman Cain would be suspending his campaign for president, The Daily Show host was despondent, depressed, and "losing all hope" that his job would ever bring him joy again. But then, like God closing a door and then opening a window to reveal "a circus peanut wearing a badger," news broke that Donald Trump would be moderating a Republican debate, with or without Mitt Romney. It goes without saying Stew Beef is stoked:

The icing on the cake is that Trump told The Today Show that if the "wrong candidate" is nominated, he might just run as an independent. This has Stewart simply elated: "This guy! If the people in the debate he's moderating don't satisfy him, he's jumping in himself!" Pizza for everyone!

  • At the end of the day, our President, the leader of the Free World, will never be a reality show star or contestant, for that matter. Not unless Kim Kardashian revitalizes her career and decides to run and break that glass ceiling, once and for all, with a two-hour special on E! anyway http://bit.ly/sqiKbr

  • I love Jon Stewart, never ceases to be funny. Can't wait to see his response after the debate
