Jordan Klepper will once again “finger the pulse” in a new Comedy Central special focused on young Donald Trump voters.
Presented by “The Daily Show,” the special, titled “MAGA: The Next Generation,” will premiere immediately following “The Daily Show” on May 19 at 11:30 p.m. It will stream on Paramount+ and be available on “The Daily Show’s” YouTube channel starting May 20.
Klepper, the “Daily Show” host known for his man-on-the-street interviews at Trump rallies, will meet young Republicans where they are, visiting everywhere from college campuses to MMA octagons. He’ll seek to answer the following questions: “In 2024, Donald Trump did better with voters under 30 than any Republican candidate since 2008. Was it because of economic anxiety or were they drawn to the rizz of a 78-year-old fist dancing to YMCA? Is the MAGA vibe shift permanent, or are young voters just rebelling against a Constitution that’s been bossing America around for 250 years?”
“MAGA: The Next Generation” is Klepper’s sixth special for “The Daily Show.” He’s previously hosted Emmy-nominated programs focusing on Republicans’ affinity for Russia and Hungary’s far-right government, as well as a special in which he reflected on his bizarre experiences on the 2020 campaign trail. Klepper’s specials have also covered the American midterm elections and dove deep into the psyche of Trump’s most rabid supporters.
Klepper first joined “The Daily Show” from 2014 to 2017 as a correspondent under hosts Jon Stewart and then Trevor Noah. He left for a brief stint to host his own satirical program, “The Opposition With Jordan Klepper,” and returned full-time in 2019. In 2023, he joined a roster of hosts that includes Stewart, Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic.
