At first I think, what, a comedian hosting a debate. But then I think, well why not? Among our cast of Presidential hopefuls we've got a reality TV star, a Botox-ridden failed CEO, a Communist, a criminal, a televangelist, and a guy who's worried about Evildoers on the Internet. He sure can't make it any dumber.

Just because OP posts an article doesn't mean he supports it.

Yes, and they should have a huge team of fact checkers to call out the BS right then and there.

Call out who's bs, the candidate's? Or Jon Leibowitz's?

Yeah and Rush Limbaugh can do one too I guess.

Talk about terrible ideas.

Good thing online petitions are the equivalent of going outside and yelling at the clouds in the sky.

Yeah, lets get a comedian with a clear left-wing bias to "moderate" a debate. Brilliant

A better petition would be to have actual debates. No more of the press asking gotcha questions that reflect their bias. Let the topics be known in advance and then let the candidates argue it out.

Will he be allowed to do snarky faces?

this is a great idea and here's why: people would watch. viewership for presidential debates is usually pretty low, considering the importance. millions of new people would watch a debate if Jon Stewart was moderating.

The first republican debate drew a record 24 million viewers. Pretty good.

I guess Stewart would bring in the giggity crowd, if they have the night off from the Barnes&Noble snack shack.

Only because a former reality-show host was on stage the entire time. Which effectively proves the point that was being made in regards to Jon Stewart's ability to get high ratings.
