Jon Stewart 2016 Debate Moderator Petition and WWE SummerSlam Hosting Update

It seems like there is no rest for Jon Stewart. Not only is the former Daily Show host guest hosting this weekend’s WWE SummerSlam event, but might be helping America decide who will be the next President of the United States. There is an all new Change.org petition, calling for Jon Stewart to moderate a debate for the 2016 presidential race.Check out the report below for an update on Stewart's post Daily Show life.

The petition calling for Jon Stewart to moderate the debate, lays the argument, writing:

“Jon Stewart is more than qualified to tackle the moderating job. Mr. Stewart has interviewed 15 heads of state, 22 members of the United States Cabinet, 32 members of the United States Senate, 7 members of the United States House of Representatives, and scores of other political leaders from this country and around the world while establishing himself as the most trusted person in (satirical) news.”

The petition also went on to call on America’s trust of Stewart to help drive home the point:

“Another important attribute of a moderator is trust. Many in the US believe Jon Stewart shares their worldview and values. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll reported that 52.1% of respondents agree that Mr. Stewart ‘generally shares [their] view of the world’ on ‘some or most issues’. Choosing Jon Stewart would be a popular choice among voters.”

At the time of this report the petition to have Jon Stewart moderate a debate, has a 122,356 signatures out of 150,000.
