Following in the footsteps of news satire programs like "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," Jordan Klepper presents a half hour of hot takes under the guise of a somewhat unhinged conservative talk show host. Klepper, a former correspondent on "The Daily Show," tackles news of the day and interviews experts in-character. His snappy newsman persona conveys no shame in his determination to subvert the "meddling" mainstream media. A rag-tag bunch of correspondents -- all played by improv pros -- aids Klepper in this mission with remote pieces and in-studio reports.
