Another presidential candidate just means more fresh meat for Jon Stewart, who has been having a field day with so many interesting personalities joining the race for the White House.
And with 17 major candidates currently in the running, "there is already a whiff of desperation," Stewart said.
The "Daily Show" host's latest target was New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who officially declared as a candidate this week.
"Why, why, why?" the Comedy Central star asked on Wednesday night's episode as he aired Christie's laughable announcement speech.

This cheeky crow was pictured hitching a lift on a bald eagle's back.

"We've been just throwing in fibbiddy bibbiddies for the laugh," said Con Harding, one of the country's most sought-after cattle auctioneers.
"Just for the fuck of it. Anytime you hear an auctioneer get up to full pelt, you're listening to about 20% information about the animal in the ring, 20% bidding, and 60% of made up words that we just throw in for the craic".
The admission has shocked livestock traders up and down the country, who for years have prided themselves on being able to understand an auctioneer, with many claiming to "know exactly what he's saying" despite today's revelation that they are in actual fact just talking pure shite.
"I feel kinda foolish right now," admitted Kieran MacCaughan, a dairy farmer from Laois who regularly attends livestock markets.
"Whenever the auctioneer started up with the 'hoobiddyboobiddythreehundredfourhundred', I'd nod along as if I was following him word for word... to learn now that they were just taking the piss out of us is pretty annoying, to be honest".
Following their admission, the cattle auctioneers association of Ireland have promised to quit the messing and just speak English when selling livestock.

Shabani the gorilla, who now lives in Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, has attracted a large following of admirers who visit him because he is so 'handsome'.
CNN reported that about 100 admirers constantly surround the primate's exhibit, shouting and call his name whenever he comes out.
The hunky gorilla's rise to fame took off after mugshots of the 18-year-old animal began going viral on Twitter.
The western lowland gorilla was raised at Sydney's Taronga Zoo but moved to Japan in 2007.
Sorry ladies. He's taken. According to zoo officials, Shabani has two wives, Ai and Nene. They also said he's an excellent father to his children, Kiyomasi and Annie.

In the rehabilitation center for children in difficult situations in Gvardeyskoye village, in the Tula Region, children live only temporarily, but the staff always stays in touch with them to see how they are doing and help when necessary.
One of the boys who was in the care of the center was diagnosed with cancer, and it was a terminal case. Misha knew he was going to die. But his talent for loving life and telling beautiful stories outlived him. When in the hospice, Misha wrote "Tale of Little Moon Ray" - a story of loving life and bringing light and hope.
An image of the work installed for the Sculpture Mile event, before its removal.
But somehow, a wood and tile sculpture by New York-based artist Jim Osman, valued at $10,000, was removed from a public art show in Madison, Connecticut this week by a local maintenance worker, who tore it apart and threw it in the garbage.
The piece was installed as part of the shoreline town's Sculpture Mile exhibition, which is organized by the Hollycroft Foundation, a non-profit that supports artists and art exhibitions.
The worker, who remains anonymous, believed the sculpture was trash left behind by local skateboarders and used a hammer to dismantle the structure.
"He didn't think it was art," foundation president William Bendig told the Associated Press. "All he had to do was call us and we would have moved it."
Osman spent a month creating the piece—a contoured bench lined with green artificial turf that was inspired by the designs of French architect Le Corbusier and meant to be climbed on by passersby. Osman has previously exhibited at the Lesley Heller Gallery on the Lower East Side, and teaches Fine Art at Parsons.

"We're currently trying to determine what happened to ensure it doesn't happen again," said Joel Kight, Director of Digital of the Athens Banner-Herald.
The erroneous message on OnlineAthens, which is being shared across social media this morning read,
"This is the emergency broadcast system. Please ignore this message as always. BTW, the sun just exploded, and we're all about to die.""And to our knowledge, the sun has not exploded," Kight said.
Indiana University researchers discovered the Internet phenomenon of watching cat videos, from Lil Bub to Grumpy Cat, does more than simply entertain; it boosts viewers' energy and positive emotions and decreases negative feelings.
Assistant professor Jessica Gall Myrick, Ph.D., surveyed almost 7,000 people about their viewing of cat videos and how it affects their moods.
"Some people may think watching online cat videos isn't a serious enough topic for academic research, but the fact is that it's one of the most popular uses of the Internet today," Myrick said.
"If we want to better understand the effects the Internet may have on us as individuals and on society, then researchers can't ignore Internet cats anymore.
