After a one-week break, Jon Stewart will be back behind The Daily Show anchor desk tonight, with the show’s regular Monday night host set to interview Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Murphy has emerged as a leading voice against the Trump Administration within the Senate, and has been increasingly critical of his own party’s leadership, cautioning on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday that “If we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone.”
This week’s Tuesday through Thursday host will be Jordan Klepper. Klepper last Daily Show guest-hosting stint came just over a month ago.
Klepper is set to kick of his week with guests Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson on Tuesday. The two journalists are co-authors of the new book Abundance, which presents a blueprint for how the Democratic party can win and govern in the 21st Century.
On Wednesday Klepper is set to sit down with actor Anthony Carrigan, best known for playing NoHo Hank in the HBO series Barry. Carrigan is promoting the new horror comedy Death of a Unicorn, in which he stars alongside Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd.
Klepper’s guest Thursday will be rocker Peter Wolf, former frontman for the The J Geils Band, who will be discussing his new memoir, Waiting on the Moon.
Klepper began his own initial stint at The Daily Show in 2014 when Stewart was still host, and stayed on through the early part of Trevor Noah’s run at the show, leaving in 2017 to host his own satirical news show The Opposition with Jordan Klepper. He returned to The Daily Show as a contributor in 2019 and has hosted several Fingers the Pulse specials in which he’s embedded himself in the MAGA movement.
