Jordan Klepper steps away from the friendly confines of a New York studio to return to the hallmark of his comedy résumé. He's on-location, embedded on the front lines of American activism to report on the country's pressing issues, among them veteran care, education challenges, discrimination, and environmentalism. Punctuated with his self-deprecating wit and lots of way-harder-than-I-thought reality checks, Klepper rides shotgun with resistors, contrarians and dreamers, seeing firsthand America's fighting spirit. "As I learned from middle school basketball, you only experience so much from the sidelines," he says.
