With a PoD during or after 2006, please figure out a logical series of events that would lead The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and 10pm Live's David Mitchell to jump from being satirical comedians to active politicians and, within a decade, reaching the highest office in the land for their respective countries. I'm assuming that a very big and dramatic event would have to persuade them to make the leap into politics.

Bonus points for detail.
