While admitting on The Late Show that he's not crazy for Biden's "Uncle Joe" shtick, Stewart said that Biden brings a larger truth to the table. “All that kind of stuff….I feel like that’s not the core of who that guy really is,” Stewart said. He added that recent events proved “we are a country in terrible danger. We are in pain. American exceptionalism – the blindfold is off and we’re seeing ourselves as who we really are.” In looking past Biden's shtick, Stewart said he sees Biden as a man "who knows who he is." That is why Stewart said he believes “in this moment this, country needs is a leader of humility.”
