Overview
- The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Give the Man a Prize debuts Monday at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central, with streams on Paramount+, The Daily Show’s YouTube channel, and VOD beginning Dec. 9.
- Klepper joins a naked bike‑ride protest in Portland and says ICE agents fired pepper bullets into the crowd, describing chaotic confrontations and a crew retreat while choking on pepper spray.
- The special contrasts Trump’s pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize with images of federal deployments in U.S. cities, a tension Klepper underscored on Morning Joe by saying he is “not seeing” a president of peace.
- In Oslo, Klepper hears skepticism about awarding Trump the prize, recounting Norwegians who dismissed the idea as silly while noting a small contingent of supporters.
- The reporting sweep includes interviews with Trump backers in Mississippi and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, whose nomination of Trump is featured, as well as an editing scramble to blur extensive nudity from the Portland segment.
