You can’t fix crazy, but you can document it—which is fortunate for Jordan Klepper. The MAGA magnet is celebrating Monday’s at-long-last return of The Daily Show with a new edition of “Fingers on the Pulse,” which was recorded at last week’s Donald Trump rally in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.
While five-plus months aways from a job might leave even the most seasoned pro a little rusty, the Daily Show correspondent proved that he hasn’t missed a beat—and that sparring with MAGA morons may, in fact, be the role he was ultimately born to fill. “For better or worse,” Klepper admitted. So he didn’t waste any time in getting back to the business of desperately trying (and ultimately failing) to understand the highly confusing mindset of Trump’s most clueless ride-or-dies.
Since May, when TDS and its fellow bastions of late-night TV went dark due to the recent writers’ strike, Trump has been keeping busy, both with his 2024 presidential campaign and “juggling certain legal commitments,” Klepper noted—a not-so-subtle nod to the ex-POTUS’ various indictments and courtroom appearances.
