When Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry appeared on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show last month, it drew 1.5 million viewers, about 400,000 more than its average for a night. (Related story: Stewart's America offers textbook laughs)But Stewart says that his banter with Kerry was only "mildly entertaining" and that his show faces a problem "when we tiptoe up to the line of respectability and sincerity."The problem with real-life candidates on a fake news show, Stewart says, is that they resort to their stump speech, and "I'm trying to be funny but also thinking about making news with a newsmaker."During Kerry's appearance, Stewart suggested that his energy policy include fueling cars with "Twinkies, fast food. We are the fattest people in the world. ... Liposuction right into the car.""That would probably be very efficient," Kerry replied.Stewart joked about Kerry's wife, Teresa, who inherited a ketchup fortune from her late husband, Sen. John Heinz: "Is it true that every time I use ketchup your wife gets a nickel?" "Would that it were," Kerry said. "But use the ketchup a lot anyway."Stewart has made much of his invitation to President Bush, which so far has been turned down.During the GOP convention, The Daily Show took out a newspaper ad, inviting Bush and advising, "Attire: Presidential casual."Bush was asked to check one of three boxes:&#8226; I will attend alone.&#8226; I will attend with my vice president.&#8226; I am unaware of your existence. He was asked to respond "along with a list of pre-approved questions no later than Nov. 2."Last year, Sen. John Edwards, who eventually became Kerry's running mate, announced his own decision to run for president on The Daily Show."I think that's why he lost," Stewart says.
