John Stewart blew it. He didn't want to responsibilities back in the early aughts and here we are in the 20s and his trying to become relevant and save the country.
His chance to do that was after that rally for nothing where it was clear the guy has political power but didn't want it.
This is it. He rejected any sort of responsibility and tried to do his whole “I’m just a comedian” bit when he could’ve been forming an organizer network like Bernie’s presidential campaign did. Instead Colbert went from doing one of the most timely bits of political satire to being the new Letterman and Stewart took a vacation during The Trump Show season 1
