Jordan Klepper is once again putting boots on the ground for The Daily Show, with the longtime correspondent delivering another standalone special for Comedy Central next month.
The latest installment of Klepper’s ongoing Fingers the Pulse series will see him investigate the “world of young MAGA.”
Per Comedy Central, The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse: MAGA: The Next Generation, will dive into the “pocket of young voters” who turned out for Trump during last year’s election, taking him “everywhere from college campuses to MMA Octagons.” The 2024 election saw Trump perform better than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008 with voters under the age of 30.
The half-hour special will be Klepper’s sixth Daily Show-branded special, who continues to serve as one of the show’s senior correspondents and a rotating host. Klepper’s last Fingers The Pulse special, Rally Together, took him to Trump rallies in several swing states in the run-up to the 2024 election.
Two previous specials—Into The MAGAverse and Hungary for Democracy—nabbed Emmy nominations for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Klepper first joined The Daily Show in 2014. He departed in 2017 to host The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, which was followed by Klepper. He returned to TDS as a contributor in late 2019, and has once again become a regular fixture of the show.
Klepper’s MAGA: The Next Generation special will air Monday, May 19 at 11:30 PM ET/PT on Comedy Central. It will be made available on Paramount+, the TDS YouTube channel, and VOD the next day.
