In 'Daily Show' return, Jon Stewart skewers Biden and Trump over age and fitness

Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” Monday night after a nine-year hiatus and targeted Joe Biden’s and Donald Trump’s ages

Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” on Monday after a nine-year hiatus and was quick to tackle an issue on the minds of many voters ahead of the 2024 presidential race: Joe Biden and Donald Trump's ages.

“Look, these two candidates -- they are both similarly challenged,” he said as he kicked off his comeback with a 20-minute segment about the 81-year-old and 77-year-old front-runners.

“They are the oldest people ever to run for president, breaking, by only four years, the record that they set last time," he said.

Stewart, who built a national profile as "Daily Show" host skewering Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, used special counsel Robert Hur’s new report about Biden to get into concerns about both candidates’ ages and competencies.

Hur, explaining his decision not to recommend charges over Biden’s retention of classified documents while out of office, wrote last week that, if indicted, Biden could present himself to the jury as a “well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
