“I wanted to call and say to you, ‘Happy anniversary, friend,’” Stewart told Colbert on Friday's Late Show, marking the anniversary of their Oct. 30, 2010 Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear on the National Mall that has been mostly forgotten because it hasn't aged well. “Wow, what a day it was. We really showed…Glenn Beck,” added Stewart, who pointed out that fear ended up winning. Before long, Stewart and Colbert discussed the looming presidential election. “I’m not good, Stephen. I’m not good," said Stewart jokingly "I’m terrified! I’m terrified, I’m anxious, I’m lonely, I’m wishing it was 2010 again. I just…I can’t…An election and a pandemic? How much canned soup and ammunition can one man have, Stephen?... I just want to know what is gonna happen!... I wanna know how much longer we have to keep going through this…On Election Day, are we at the Heartbreak Hill, where all that effort and all that resilience is about to pay off and we’re going to cross the finish line and finally be able to exhale, or is this the halfway point—the 13-mile mark? And when will my nipples stop bleeding? These are questions I have to know, Steve.”
