By james art The Daily Showis Jordan Klepper is back for another shot at the MAGA faithful before Election Day 2024. And this time, he’s bringing support.
In the exclusive clip below from The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse: Rally Together, which will be broadcast at 23:30 after a new episode of Jon Stewart The Daily Show this coming Monday, October 28th, Klepper is hiring Renault 911 star Thomas Lennon to join him outside a recent Trump rally.
Dressed in his signature shorts, Lennon revived his iconic character Lt. Jim Dangle to challenge Trump fans on the former president’s turf for a real-life version of The cleaningor as he put it, “one hard hour.”
“I’ve been to a lot of rallies, and they’re lonely adventures that can lead one to pits of despair and daily drinking,” Klepper told the Daily Beast. “So I decided to change it up and get some friends to keep me company and see if they could bring some new perspectives and humor.”
As Trump brought his “tough talk on crime” to Reno, Nevada, Klepper immediately thought to get Renault 911Lennon, who he described as a “funny genius with a good heart,” got in on the action. “It turns out that in these strange times, putting a fictional character into a real event that looks like a fantasy seemed natural,” he adds.
The two found scores of Trumpers who eagerly supported a “cop purge” in which law enforcement and vigilantes could presumably beat and kill suspected criminals with impunity.
“It’s the running of the bulls, but the tourists who came to run are all the pedophiles and trash and all the things we have in this country,” joked Lennon’s fake cop, while a real Trump supporter agreed, “Get them , the hell out of here.
Or as Klepper put it, “You sort of unconstitutional Rumspringa.”
