Jon Stewart left The Daily Show in 2015 after hosting it for 16 years

a new movie released at a time, The World faces enormous challenges "such as showing up to a plane crash with a chocolate bar," as Jon Stewart put it recently.

"It feels ridiculous," said the former host of " The Daily Show, "There's tragedy everywhere, and they're like, 'Uh, who wants chocolate?'"

The Corona-Virus-pandemic, coupled with world-wide protests triggered by the death of George Floyd in police custody have left, a few people are in The Mood for frivolity.

it is welcomed in spite of his characteristic self-awareness, the release of Stewart's new movie welcome of those who miss his presence in the US TV landscape.

Stewart, Now 57, host of the satirical news program The Daily Show for 16 years. He was a very influential figure, attracting a dedicated audience, tuned in to every night, its wise on The Day of the stories.

by The Time he left in the year 2015 (the successor to Trevor Noah ), He Said he was tired and ready for a new challenge. What exactly is it to write why he started and directed by Irresistible - a Comedy about political Campaign financing, as I said, through a small town mayoral race in rural Wisconsin .

The Film , which stars Steve Carrell and Rose Byrne , was due to hit cinemas this summer, but it will Now be published instead of online. The proposed platform may not have been, but that is something that is not Stewart too worried.

"of Course with A Movie that made you come online instead of in theaters is perhaps The Greatest tragedy is that in Our World right Now ," he tells Bbc News , tongue firmly in the cheek.

"I mean, I know people are struggling with the pandemic, and hundreds of years of racial injustice, but if people are going to really think about how I feel?"

looks Irresistible retired marine Colonel Jack Hastings (played by Chris Cooper ) is going viral after a passionate speech at a public meeting in the fictional town of Deerlaken, Wisconsin .

The online video brought to the attention of the political strategist Gary rooms (Carrell), of the to convince drives Out There Hastings to run, as the Democrats' candidate for mayor.

the room sets about moulding Hastings in the perfect candidate, but as his Campaign gathers steam, they have competition from Faith Brewster (Byrne), who used to run the Republican Campaign .

A Problem The Film highlights, is how much money can be spent (or lost) on political campaigns. Without any spoilers, The Film is an unexpected end of something Stewart challenge the traditional political structures that we all take for granted hopes.

"I have a lot of years, detailing The Daily weaknesses, and this is kind of a narrow view, and it is short-sighted," Says Stewart. "So This Was a way to look step back and really try to, [policy], as a system. Kind of like the difference between weather man and climatologist.

"So I spent many years as a weather man and I decided to take a step and say" why is it raining here? What's going on? !' and look at it from this perspective.

"And The Key to this is to, hopefully, the spectators will have a kind of faith that you watch this other movie that buys into all the set pieces we are given. So, if you reveal finally, [the end of], you can the moment of " oh right, why we accept the system as it is designed currently?'"

"Always room for satire,'

the reviews of The Film came at the beginning of This Week , and some critics think, Stewart succeeds in his mission.

"Taken on its own terms, the elated funny Comedy offers lip-smacking entertainment, which will not surprise many with its skewering of both sides"

But everyone was won over. "The supposedly satirical attitude of the Irresistible , cannot disguise the fact that it is contrived, ridiculous, and superfluous,"

The Daily Show won two Emmy Awards in the year 2015, according to Stewart last year on the program

"the U.S. policy as a sterling job, the currently-sati rising itself, it is hard to know where there is a choice of Comedy like Jon Stewart 's is from rises Irresistibly, in The Hunt for additional purchase. Watch proves The Point : The Film attempts to scale a gigantic mountain of a topic, and just holds it always slides down the sides. "

The Point about real-life policy beyond the satire was done so often in the last few years, it's become a cliché. Countless writers and comedians have complained that it is hard to make fun of a situation in which you already have as a parody.

But Stewart thinks there will always be a place in the society.

"[Charlie] Chaplin from The Great dictator during the second World War ," he Says . "I think there will always be room and need for this type of comment.

"But I also believe that it is the least effective agents of change. So, while I think it will always be there, I think, too, that what you see Now is the Direct Action on the street brings the change," he Says - a reference to the recent Black Lives matter protests.

"Comedy bits are fun to pass around The Internet , and this Film is part of this work. "

to rotate A Movie that is a lot of Hard Work , to put it mildly. Cast and crew work long hours, intensively for weeks or months on end, before the elaborate post-production process begins.

But the question is, what is murderous, writing and directing is more, A Movie or host a daily Talk Show , Stewart Says : "the Hosting of a show, No Question . No Question About It. You're talking about 16 years.

"Well, if I had to work on this movie Every Day for 16 years, then I say, to prelude that's a killer, but that's not a thing you get, if you have a daily Talk Show , it's just everything. The Film has a different feel, they work and work, but you don't get, what you get on a TV show, The Performance and The Audience immediately.

"And The Reward to work Every Day , was to get the dessert, to perform it in front of an audience. In A Movie you don't get, but you get the quieter pleasure of being able to spend more time crafting something with a little more nuance than you might if you just try that 6pm deadline. "

earlier This Week , the cinemas would re be able to open from the 4. July, as part of the ongoing easing of closure restrictions.

But Irresistible to continue with its planned online release this weekend.

"I'm excited to get A Chance to see it, I hope it is a nice distraction," Says Stewart. "You are always design A Movie for the that the social reaction that you will love to see it with a group of people, but I also hope that it is more pleasant to observe, in the comfort of your own home. "

Irresistible is available to rent on VOD platforms on Friday .
