Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, recently compared the presidential election to The Bachelor, expressing concerns that there's not enough time to replace Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket before the November 5 election.

Stewart made his remarks on Monday's episode of the show, saying, "Four months is for-fucking-ever. Britain just held an election in two months. France had two in one month, defeated fascism and still had time to have an affair with Denmark." He added, "Four months is 119 days. There are contestants on The Bachelor, who haven't even met yet, that will get married and divorced between now and the election. We have nothing but time."

Stewart suggested that the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago could be a good opportunity to vote on a new candidate. He proposed an itinerary that would include a vote on Tuesday, followed by a bus tour to find a restaurant from the TV show The Bear on Wednesday. On Thursday, the party could emerge, energized, unified, and sanctified, with the entire proceeding televised for four days. Stewart jokingly suggested calling the event "The Apprentice."

While Trump hosted NBC's The Apprentice from 2004 to 2015, it's also the title of an upcoming film about the former president, starring Sebastian Stan as Trump.
