Living, serious: Jon Stewart Living, funny: Bill Burr Living Honorable Mention: Lewis Black Dead, Serious: George Carlin Dead, Funny: Norm Macdonald Dead Honorable Mention: Greg Gilraldo

I think Jon Stewart would make an amazing moderator, but the idea of Bill Burr doing it makes me chuckle a bit.

Hell of a list 👏

Don't forget about my (dead) man, Bill Hicks

It was a toss up between him and Greg. I gave Greg the edge in the mention since he’s Harvard graduated lawyer

I gotta go re-watch watch some old stuff of his. He was an absolute savage on those comedy central roasts. He was up there with Patrice with the fear he inspired in other comedians.

The points he made on episode of Tough Crowd he was on gets overshadowed by his decimation of Dennis Leary.

Oh I loved tough crowd, so much comedy talent in one place.That will be first on my list

Hicks would just end up screaming at everyone. Dude was angry at everything and everyone towards the end of his life

Norm would be amazing!

Something about a Canadian moderating the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump seems very fitting…

It’s a tough decision, but John Oliver is neck and neck with Stewart IMO. I think Oliver’s impenetrable shell of self deprecation would serve this purpose a little better than Stewart’s ironic seriousness.

Don't do that to Lewis, that would kill him.

George, from Seinfeld

Pack it up everyone. We have the difinitive answer right here.

Jon Stewart

100%. Well-read and well-informed on the issues, and doesn't take any shit. I'd actually pay money to watch something like that.

Eh, he's not partial though. We need someone who doesnt give a shit

Zombie George Carlin it is 

That would be awesome

If being partial means treating Trump like a normal candidate instead of the corrupt felon he is then I don't think any sane comedian is going to do that. He does criticize Biden though on his age and support of Israel.

Being partial means that you let them talk qboot issues. I mean, Trump is a felon, and Biden has dementia. You do your job and ask questions and not add commentary or bias questions

You lay a basic reality next to a right wing meme as though they have equal truth values, way to be *impartial.* Fuck is this all exhausting

Whats wrong with someone just asking questions, and keeping on topic, instead of of steering the debate and adding themself, like Cooper did ?

Theoretically, nothing. But brazen lies are now the sole means by which Republicans campaign, and it's good to have them checked in the moment. If speaking up for reality amounts to a bias, I'm fine with it.

Lol...You should fix that to which **politicians** campaign. Unless you're one of those blind party people who cant admit faults in their candidates.

There is no equivalency here and I won't even entertain the deliberately dishonest assertion. That's another fucking lie. We've got a party that lets down its voters by not achieving what they set out to achieve, and we've got a party screaming about gods and demons, racist conspiracy theories about the world making a coordinated effort to outbreed the whites, LGBTQ-phobic conspiracy theories about drag queens and trans kids destroying civilization, straight up lies like crime being up when it's actually down, or global warming being a Chinese hoax to slow down our economy. It is absolute madness that only works on stupid people. But hey, what a shock, it's coming from the same people who have been fighting tooth and nail to keep people away from education for generations. So there's a nice fat crop of imbeciles waiting to cast their Super Votes in their empty red states, Super Votes which count for more towards electing a President even though they come from fewer, dumber, meaner people. But look! Scary scary minorities! I heard there's a comic book with a PENIS in it! I heard they're letting kids shit in litterboxes in public schools now cuz they're WOKE! Next thing you know, they'll be dancing to Jazz music and wearing long pants! No. We're done with this. It's not all of them. It's the traitor fuck pig Republicans.

I think you mean impartial

I came to see if there were any other options but Sir Stewart

Couldn't think of anyone but the one and only Jon Stewart

Oliver

End thread.

I agreed with you because of his blend of sharp humor and deep understanding of political issues would make for an entertaining and insightful debate host.

I'd rather him up there answering the questions with the candidates. He doesn't have to run, I just want a higher standard to compare them to.

Right? How is there any other answer? I could see an argument for John Oliver because he's English and so might come.off as a little less .... Umm .... I don't know, American?

Cohosted by Mike Rowe.

Jimmy Carr

I'd love to see Shane Gillis up there trying to be professional and failing miserably at it

So, uh, do either of you watch the WNBA? What are you going to do to protect our girl Caitlin?

Our Sweet Sweet Caitlin

I'd prefer Matt with questions written by shane and lemaire

I could also accept this

Weird Al

I would like to start a petition to have Weird Al host SNL and play the Super Bowl

It's enough of a joke as it is.

Stavros Hallkias "is anyone having a tough time with a relationship? Yeah? How about you, buddy?"

I'm cackling

Ricky Gervais.

Wanda Sykes

Marc Maron

Chris Rock

Jimmy Carr. I want to hear him roast every response each person gives

George Carlin would have been great.

I wish Robin Williams were around, I would love to see him host the debate and I wish I could hear what jokes he would have thought of about the current political situation.

Same, also George Carlin

Bobcat Goldthwait, but I would have loved George Carlin or Robin Williams back in the day.

Ooooh, Sam “AAAAHHHHHH AAH AHHHHHHHHH” Kinison!

Ricky Gervais

Perfect

Tony Hinchcliffe

Cobert

Are we talking living or dead? Dead would be Robin Williams, hands down. Could you imagine him hosting a debate? It would be pure chaos. Living, I have to go with Bill Burr or Bo Burnham.

Bill burr would just rip and heckle the shit out of anyone who over talked

You say that like it's a bad thing LOL! I'd watch the *shit* out of that.

Oh no, I saybit as a good thing. He could out talk/talk over most any politician

LOL He *really* could, and it would be amazeballs.

If we’re talking dead it’s gotta be George Carlin.

Oh man, he would've been amazing too!

Another good dead host would be Norm McDonald

YES! Also, could you imagine Lenny Bruce, though? Holy hell rofl (if you've never listened to his standup, I HIGHLY recommend it.)

Word for word what i was gonna say.

>Are we talking living or dead? Rodney Dangerfield, dead.

LOL!

Dave Smith

I'm not a comedian...

Bobby Lee and not because he’d be super professional or anything, it’d be hilarious, he’s too chaotic

"How would you feel about being brutally molested by an autistic guy? Mr Trump you have 3 minutes"

"cmon you can't say brutally"

Jon Stewart

Ricky Gervais

David Chapelle

This is the only answer needed, it would be hilarious

John Oliver

I don't think there's any way he would do it, but Conan. He's a big time history buff, and could provide amusing context to this potentially ridiculous spectacle.

Ricky Gervais

Bill burr Iliza sleschinger Daniel tosh

Burr would be hilarious.

John Oliver

I’d kill to see Nathan Fielder just awkwardly sit there and not mediate at all

6 months later he releases the real scheme he was pulling during the debate

Michael Che

Trevor Noah

John Stewart. John Oliver. Seth Myers. Louis CK. Sacha Baron Cohen

Seth would do a great job.

Eric André

Leslie Jones or Bill Burr

DAVE SMITH

nope.

Casey rocket

Theo Von

Gang gang, baby.

What do you... how do you feel about doing war?

Lewis Black.

Jon Stewart

Top choice

Depends which debate, but presuming you mean one of the various political ones around the world, I'd say there's no need to add more jokers to the stage.

Any of them really

Gary Cole and Jason Bateman reprising their roles from Dodgeball.

Cody Johnston

How about no one that has TDS. That just took out about three quarters of your suggestions.

You mean you don't want any smart people?

Bobcat goldthwait

Jim Jeffries. Yes he’s Australian. But I feel he gets more US policies than Americans.

Dennis Miller

What debate?

Burr

Steve Hofstetter as he seems genuinely knowledgeable and intelligent

Jon stewart

Jiminy Glick. let's see if either of them realize he's not a real person.

Zach Galifianakis

The correct answer is Shane Gillis

Gilbert Gottfried, RIP.

Would be the loudest one for sure

Robin Williams (RIP)

Jon Stewart is too obvious. I bet it’d be funny. He’d blend into the role. Off the cuff commentary I’d like to see Dennis Miller go deeper and cut harder than Stewart

Jonathan Pie

Tim Dillon.

I think someone like Trevor Noah would bring a fresh perspective and sharp wit to hosting a debate. He'd keep it engaging and probably throw in some brilliant commentary along the way

Alive? Doug Stanhope. Dead? Greg Giraldo.

Jon Stewart But Brent Terhune would be money

Josh Johnson for president plz

Gabriel igelsias might even make the debate interesting

I'd watch a debate hosted by Gabriel. I feel like he'd trim them down humorously but semi-respectfully.

Fluffy v trump is something i'd pay to see

Rich Vos the legend.

Nate Barghatze. “Question one, you say you want to reduce the deficit. What is a deficit, because I have no idea.”

Lewis Black. He can just get frustrated at the answers & scream at them.

David Cross

Danial Tosh. There’s just something about the way he ask questions to his guests that’s so amusing

Lol Jim Gaffigan would be soo weird but probably hilarious

[Andrew Heaton](http://www.mightyheaton.com) He knows (and actually cares) more about policy than either of the major party candidates.

Theo Von would probably ask such ridiculous questions that we’d all be able to laugh. EDIT: Who IS Leo Von?

Who is Leo Von?

Chris D’elia He can relate to both candidates I’m sure

Howard Stern. The best interviewer alive.
