(CNN) -- When Piers Morgan asked Steve Carell and David Steinberg about comedians' handling of Election 2012, the CNN host noted that there have been quite a few "fantastically funny" moments in the GOP race in particular. "Do you thank God every day that these things happen?" asked Morgan. "Yes," answered Steinberg, "This is a gift from God to comedians the likes of which we have never seen." "It's a ship of fools that is -- it's just unbelievable," said Steinberg. "I used to have a theory that I took almost through all the presidencies. And it was that you're either -- it's like the Three Stooges. You're either a Moe, who's in charge, or a Larry, who wants to be a Moe, or you're Curly, who is nuts and totally just off the page."
