Jordan Klepper is once again putting boots on the ground for The Daily Show, with the longtime correspondent delivering a new standalone special for Comedy Central next month.
According to Comedy Central, The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Give the Man a Prize will send Klepper across both the U.S. and Norway as he interviews Trump supporters, naked bike riders, costumed protestors, and even a former member of the Nobel Committee. The premise: if Trump is so certain he’s a man of peace, could that argument actually persuade anyone in the country responsible for handing out the prize?
The new special marks Klepper’s seventh entry in the Fingers the Pulse series and arrives on the heels of his Emmy-winning installment, MAGA: The Next Generation, which earned the 2025 Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction Program and delivered the highest share ever for a Daily Show Presents special.
Klepper’s previous installments have taken him from rallies to foreign capitals, all while tracking the evolving landscape of MAGA politics and global democratic backsliding. Past specials include Rally Together, Moscow Tools, America Unfollows Democracy, Hungary for Democracy, and Into the MAGAverse.
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 is now one of the show’s five rive rotating Tuesday through Thursday hosts.
Klepper’s Give the Man a Prize special will air Monday, December 7 immediately following The Daily Show on Comedy Central. It will be made available on Paramount+, the TDS YouTube channel, and VOD the next day.
