Yeah, I think they'd do a decent job. The fact is that "experience in politics" is not actually something you want in your leaders. Sure, you want diplomacy but never politics.
Anyone can lead a country. Thats why the president has armies of counselors, study groups, intelligence agencies, research agencies, etc. The president doesn't need to know much of anything. He just needs to be an honest, reasonable person with a good cultural background. So a lack of political experience is a complete non-issue when it comes to leading (getting elected is, of course, another story).
We don't know much about Stewart or Colbert as men. We know them as figures, characters and whatnot, so its a bit difficult to judge how well they would actually do for their people. However, based on the persona they choose to portray, I think they'd do a very good job. Stewart seems like a very reasonable and open-minded guy.
PS: I'm not saying that extensive preparation in economics, religious, sociological or in any other academic area wouldn't help out. I'm just saying its not a requisite and they don't necessarily make a good leader.
