I don't understand your replies. In the video Jon addresses the impulse people have to want folk like him, Colbert, and Kimmel to run for office. He insinuates his disagreement but understands the sentiment. In other words, exactly your point.
On the other hand, you keep arguing the point of Jon as POTUS in this comment thread when the only point being made was that, unlike most celebrities, Jon has knowledge and experience in the legislative process. You stated that he had no other qualification other than fame. I corrected that misconception. Nothing more.
yet ITT everybody is already voting for this imaginary ticket
read the comments… the celebrity worship is out of control here
I get that, for the overall post. I was just noting that this specific comment thread was in response to your comment about his qualifications and experience. Nothing more. It later got filled with other trains of conversation, but my response to you was specific to that one subject, not whether or not celebrities in general should be public servants.
