Jordan Klepper: Suffering Fools
Best known for his work on The Daily Show and his Emmy-nominated specials, Klepper has carved out a niche for himself in the realm of political satire. From his groundbreaking coverage of the gun safety debate in “Jordan Klepper Solves Guns” to his eye-opening docuseries on activism, Klepper fearlessly dives into the heart of the political landscape.
Jordan has witnessed an insurrection, capsized a boat with pipeline protestors, interviewed a President and been arrested and locked up in Fulton County Jail. He also travels the globe with his segment “Fingers The Pulse” which has racked up hundreds of millions of views.
Klepper, with nearly a decade of experience as a correspondent on The Daily Show, wrote, starred and executive produced “Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Into The MagaVerse,” “Fingers The Midterms” (the most watched special on Comedy Central) and “Hungary for Democracy,” the latter of which garnered him a Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in TV Political Journalism. He executive produced and hosted “The Opposition” and “Klepper” on Comedy Central, which was called “A fresh, powerful interpretation of news” by the Detroit Free Press.
In “Suffering Fools,” Klepper shares personal stories from his time on the road, including run-ins with Presidents, failures in the entertainment world, and encounters with the colorful characters of anarchy. With his unique blend of humor and candor, Klepper explores our universal desires and exposes our collective idiocies, offering a hilarious and insightful commentary on the absurdity of our current moment. What a foolish time to be alive.
