Who gives a shit what the host of a gameshow has to say about a person who hasn't said they were running? And if he does say he's going to run, this statement from Ken still doesn't matter.

This is infotainment at best.

hasn't said they were running

Have you never seen a US presidential election before? They always do this shit and the frontrunner who hasn't announced their run yet but everyone know is gonna run has to be my least favorite trope so I'm just glad someone is actually dunking on one of those clowns for once instead of the entire media apparatus licking their own eyeballs like lizards in anticipation of Hillary announcing she's gonna run

Yes, I have seen an election before. I'm turning 50 next year. I've seen this dog and pony show long enough to know that what passes as "news" in this self absorbed media landscape. This guy's opinion will vanish by the next news cycle.
