Counterpoint: Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proven that there is a lot more overlap than it might seem if their entertainment included a lot of political elements.
I used to think Stewart would make a decent novelty candidate, but now I’m thinking he might actually be pretty decent.
Even though there are notable outliers, I still believe that the grand majority of entertainers would be terrible politicians.
Just because Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura and Volodymir zelinsky all made for reasonably competent politicians does not mean that by default all celebrities would also make for reasonable politicians. I can’t imagine Governor carrot top, or senator Gabriel Iglesias.

My point was that some entertainers make fine politicians.
