Jon Stewart begged Donald Trump on Tuesday night to reconsider his decision to not seek the presidency, not because he thought Trump would make a good president, but because it would give him endless material for his show.

“You had us all convinced you were gonna take oil from Libya and Iraq and make the Chinese suck your giant gold balls,” Stewart said. “Turns out, you’ve just got alluminum foil painted gold balls.”

But unfortunately for Stewart, Trump announced on Monday that he would not run for President. That left Stewart with a sudden dearth of fodder for his show.

“I’ve waited all my life for a presidential candidate like you,” Stewart said. “A mix of arrogance with a lack of filter, easily exploitable physical traits.”

“No one wanted you to be president. We just wanted to watch you run,” he added.
