Only Jon Stewart Can Make Sense of the Trump Candidacy

Unable to explain the success of Trump's campaign, Stephen seeks out Jon Stewart for advice interrupting the former "Daily Show" anchor's blissful, kale-fueled isolation.

Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT. Only on CBS.

---
Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

"I leave you people alone for ONE election cycle..."

Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert is a legitimate ship and I entirely agree now.

if an illegal immigrant fights a sex offender is it considered alien vs predator?

[chinamanandfriends]

I was really hoping for Jon to say "The guy who ATE PIZZA WITH A FORK, that guy??!"

[MuffinLady]

Oh, I see, THAT's why real Stephen changed his pair of glasses, so we can tell them apart.

[Redoer]

One of my greatest creations, Mr. Jon Stewart. America needs you

[slashingkatie]

I want to see more of the adventures of Jon Stewart Mountain Man.

"The guy who apologized for insulting all Hispanics by tweeting a picture oh himself eating a taco bowl...that guy?"

[QueenMegaera]

"Call me if you're gonna be late!" ❤ Ah, these two are awesome together. I love how they're both constantly about to crack up in this.

[snapperl]

I would stop everything and campaign for jon stewart for president if he would just run.

[luvyou-baby]

He actually said that about black ppl... That's insane

[hannahmoran]

Jon Stewart was always my favorite. The Daily Show just isn't the same without him around; when he yelled "BUBBE!" I nearly fell on the ground from laughter. We miss you, Jon!!!

[aaronmendez]

the only way this skit could of been funnier is if Steve Carell lived in that cabin too. imo

[flynnmanabrams]

Jon Stewart isn't the hero we deserve(Obviously) but he is the hero we need right now.

[gmcubed]

Anyone else think he got his new glasses just so we could tell when he brought the old character back?

[barhoom]

did on just say that his place is not a Pokemon gym ???

[Snowfire]

I'm crying tears of joy over here. THE DYNAMIC DUO IS BACK!

[xarvous]

The fake-eagle noise immediately sold this bit. Also, all the spit-takes. Never too many spit-ta*spittakes*

[spitfiresergi]

I love Stephen's smile, you can tell how much he misses just going back and forth with Jon Stewart. Man they worked so well.
