Jordan Klepper will premiere a new comedy special focusing on the forthcoming midterm elections and the political landscape surrounding them. The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Red Flags is scheduled to air Oct. 26 on Comedy Central at 11:30 p.m., following the regular Daily Show broadcast.
The special represents the latest installment in Klepper’s Fingers the Pulse series, which has garnered recognition in the Emmy Awards, winning the past two years in the best writing category for nonfiction programs. The most recent special in the series, Give That Man a Prize, won this year’s Emmy for nonfiction writing.
According to the program description, the special documents Klepper traveling across the country to interview various political figures and activists. The special examines multiple political concerns within the MAGA movement, including declining poll numbers, international military conflicts, economic conditions, and other campaign trail developments. The special will also be available for streaming on Paramount+ and The Daily Show YouTube channel the day after its initial broadcast.
Klepper has previously discussed the format of these specials, noting that the hour-long presentation allows for more extensive exploration of political topics compared to standard Daily Show segments. He explained that the specials use on-the-street interviews as a foundation for deeper examination of broader political arguments and movements across the country.
