John McCain joked about choosing his running mate on Comedy Central's Daily Show Wednesday night.

"Listen, I know you've been wondering who my vice presidential candidate is going to be," the presumptive Republican nominee told Jon Stewart. "I've got it written down. You ready?"

"You heard it here first: Dwight Schrute" – The Office character played by Rainn Wilson, McCain quiped (watch above).

"That is pandering of the highest degree!" Stewart replied.

Stewart told McCain that Hillary Clinton should be his running mate. "You would win this election," he said.

"That's one I never contemplated," McCain responded.

McCain also jokingly stood up to walk off stage when asked to repudiate President Bush, whom Stewart compared to Barack Obama's controversial former spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

"I am going to run a respectful campaign," McCain pledged. "I respect both [Clinton and Obama]."
