Jon Stewart Tempts Vampire Fans With Twilight-Themed Political Segment

Jon Stewart

Feeling flush with new viewers after having Robert Pattinson on the program, Jon Stewart tried to keep the viewers entertained with a “Twilight”-themed discussion of politics.

“Two men battle in this election, one of them belonging to a very old, very pale clan of ancient blood suckers,” Stewart said. “The other, a wild, young and diverse feral group of incoherent people. Both competing for something only one of them can possess: a four-year constitutionally mandated term heading our nation’s executive branch … I mean the love of an underaged woman named America.”

Watch Stewart try on a pair of plastic fangs:
