“When Jon Stewart hosted The Daily Show, they said that he was the most trusted newsman in the country. Like Walter Cronkite trustworthy,” the talk show host, 69, said during his SiriusXM radio show.

“The guy is so f****** smart and bright and also witty and really measured when he takes on a debate,” the shock jock added. “He knows how to talk. You know he would work his a** off to be a good president. I’m telling you, he could also win, because people like Jon Stewart.”

“I think I’m going to run for president,” he quipped in 2021.

“If Trump decided to run again, you have to run against him. That’s my plan,” Stern's sidekick Robin Quivers replied. “That’s what’s going to have to happen. We can’t leave it to the Democrats.”

Though the radio personality admitted he doesn't have all the qualifications people are looking for, he seemed confident he could win the race.

“Who the f*** am I?” Stern asked. “I know, I’ll beat his a**. I told Beth [Ostrosky Stern], ‘I think I’m going to have to do my civic duty and run for president against Trump,” Stern claimed.
