“I know liberals say, ‘Don’t say Joe Biden is old’ — don’t say what people see with their own eyes!,” he said during his appearance at the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, which debuted on the streaming service on Friday, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“You can say it, he can’t hear us,” he added.

“I know you know how f—ing old he is, and I know you don’t want to say it because [Donald] Trump is so scary, but he’s so f—ing old,” Stewart continued.

“When you watch him on television, you’re nervous, aren’t ya?”

Stewart pointed out: “I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president.”

The political commentator, who returned as host to The Daily Show in February after eight years, complained that Americans will have to choose between Biden and Trump in November’s election.

“Why are we allowing this? And now we’re going to have a president that’s the two oldest people that have ever run for the office of the presidency,” he said

Stewart has long criticized Trump and the Republican Party, but in recent months he has also irked Democrats over his comments about Biden.

“These two candidates … are both similarly challenged,” Stewart said upon his return to the late-night show.

“And it is not crazy to think that the oldest people in the history of the country to ever run for president might have some of these challenges.”

Biden turns 82 on Nov. 22. Trump turns 78 next month.
