喜剧演员兼脱口秀主持人乔恩·斯图尔特周日对观众提出的参选建议予以拒绝。
虽然有许多艺人转型为政客，如前总统 Ronald Reagan（罗纳德·里根）、前加州州长 Arnold Schwarzenegger（阿诺德·施瓦辛格），以及最近的总统 Donald Trump（唐纳德·特朗普），但斯图尔特警告称，这种选择政治领袖的方式可能并不明智。
当一名观众询问他是否会参选时，引发了现场观众的欢呼，斯图尔特似乎拒绝了这一想法。
“你们真是太客气了，”斯图尔特说，“顺便说一句，这——我无法用言语形容人们竟然认为自己掌握着决定他人生活的权力，这简直太疯狂了。”

他表示，他和其他受欢迎的脱口秀主持人经常被邀请参选公职。
“但我确实知道，像我这样的媒体人，比如 Steven（史蒂夫）、Jimmy（吉米），我们经常会收到这样的问题。我认为这反映了——如果我可以说的话，我不知道动机是什么——这反映了我们对现状的绝望和不满。”
他认为，呼吁像他这样的脱口秀主持人竞选总统，就像是被诅咒进入了《阴阳魔界》（Twilight Zone）的某一集中。

斯图尔特接着表示，将总统 Donald Trump（唐纳德·特朗普）与独裁者 Adolf Hitler（阿道夫·希特勒）进行比较是不准确的，因为希特勒至少在自己的国家很受欢迎。
他分享了一个轶事，称这能说明整个国家的普遍情况：那些曾经嘲笑前总统 Joe Biden（乔·拜登）的人，现在却对特朗普政府感到暗自尴尬。
“我住在一个很多人都支持特朗普的城镇，”他谈到支持特朗普的人群时说，“比如，他们在熟食店会给我很多难堪。我走进熟食店，会听到很多‘嘿，你的自动签名笔怎么样？你那该死的拜登自动签名笔怎么样？’现在我走进熟食店，他们会问‘你的三明治要加什么？’”
白宫尚未立即回应置评请求。

Comedian and talk show host Jon Stewart shrugged off a suggestion from his audience Sunday that he should run for office.
While there have been many entertainers-turned-politicians, such as former President Ronald Reagan, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and, most recently, President Donald Trump, Stewart warned this may not be a wise way to pick political leaders.
When a member of his audience asked if he would run for office, prompting cheers from the crowd, Stewart appeared to reject the idea.
“It’s very kind of you,” Stewart said. “And, by the way, it is — I cannot tell you how wild it is to have people even think that having the power over their lives is something they would appreciate that you have.”

He and other popular talk show hosts have been getting asked to run for elected office, he said.
“But I do know, like, all the folks in the media like this, like Steven, like Jimmy, we get this. This is a question that comes up a lot. And I think it speaks to — if I may, and I don’t know the motivation — it speaks to this desperation and dissatisfaction that we have with the status quo.”
He argued that people calling for talk show hosts to run for office is a clear sign of desperation.
“You see somebody on television who’s saying some of the things that resonate with you. And you think, ‘Well, f— it.’ It really is, ‘I think you should be president is the line’ that comes right after ‘f— it.’”
Stewart joked that calling for somebody like him to run for president is like being cursed to be in a “Twilight Zone” episode.

Stewart went on to argue that comparisons between President Donald Trump and dictator Adolf Hitler are inaccurate because Hitler was at least popular in his country.
He went on to share an anecdote he says illustrates much of the country at large, where the same people who once mocked former President Joe Biden are now quietly embarrassed over the Trump administration.
“I live in a town where, like, a lot of people went that way,” he said of supporting Trump. “Like, they give me a lot of s— in the deli. Like, I walk in the deli, and there’s a lot of like, ‘Hey, how’s that autopen? How’s ‘f—— Biden’s autopen)?’ I walk in the deli now, and they’re like, ‘What would you like on your sandwich?’”
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
