"Hey, remember when you, along with me and the rest of the country, joked that Stephen Colbert-Jon Stewart would make one heck of a presidential ticket? Well, America, today you&amp;#x27;re waking up to a world where that joke has come 50 percent true.Stephen Colbert is exploring a run for president. I&amp;#x27;m completely serious--there&amp;#x27;s paperwork involved. Here&amp;#x27;s the deal: earlier this year, Colbert started a PAC, which raises funds for a candidate&amp;#x27;s election. But a candidate can&amp;#x27;t officially communicate or coordinate with these groups. So: last night, on The Colbert Report, he officially relinquished control of the committee to none other than... Jon Stewart. Then, he announced that he&amp;#x27;ll form a presidential exploratory committee. Something to keep in mind: the South Carolina primary is the perfect place for Colbert to jump into the race--that&amp;#x27;s his native state. Even if he doesn&amp;#x27;t stand a chance, there&amp;#x27;s no harm in spending our Friday imagining a world in which Colbert hops cheerily on and off Air Force One, fills the White House with Americone Dream and, most importantly, wears these shoes--which he was wearing as he announced his candidacy--while entertaining foreign heads of state. Your move, South Carolina. Watch the whole thing go down below.
