Seth is a really good interviewer. His questions always fit the guest and go off from what the guest said unlike with other hosts who just repeat unrelated prerehearsed questions.

A CROSSOVER EPISODE!!!

[@northuniverse]

[Deleted] What is this, a crossover episode?

[@lnsflare1]

Does anyone have the English translation for Alex Jones' reaction?

[@bernice_anders]

lnsflare1 *furiously shakes papers*

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Roid rage

[@GreatDayEveryone]

lnsflare1 I thought the exact same thing!!

[@martavdz4972]

Insflare1 I don't, and I'm a linguist and a translator. If I took this seriously and this was a translation job, I'd say it's about mirroring, perhaps that Jordan thinks he's describing Jones but he's really describing himself and by that, trying to find his identity. Perhaps he meant that Jordan wants to be like him? But you can't really do a translation when you, for example, don't know what the author meant by "them". It's nothing like anything I've ever translated, it feels like I'd need to get back to the client on every sentence of it, or consult a psychiatrist, or cancel the job.

[@wheatboi8255]

lnsflare1 And it's now a month later and he never responded to you. Guess he went on an epic quest for a clip of Jones sounding coherent and rational and perished after over dosing on the male enhancement pills Jones pushes on his show.

[@blueeyedtech1234]

I don’t care if your a democrat or republican but how can ANYONE take Alex Jones seriously

[@ExploringTampa]

I think it started as a big parody, "Haha, this will be funny, watch." and as he went further with it, he realized that people didn't see the humor in it and took him seriously, and now he's so far in the hole he can't come out.

[@democracydignityhumanrights]

Exploring Tampa that and I'm sure all the money he makes off idiots helps

[@martavdz4972]

The Blue Eye Gamer Don't try to understand, a sane person will never understand an insane person...

[@blueeyedtech1234]

Exploring Tampa I wish that was the truth because it’s horrifying to think this is actually who he is

[@headcold7250]

His viewers literally consume powder he has made and sells on his bogus show..that might have something to do with it. I call it "infomercials" now.

[@bullcrapmcgee1085]

Seth Myers is a great interviewer

[@RustinChole]

3:30 is sheer genius. Nailed it.

[@seanellio]

"The Opposition" was the best. Should never have been cancelled.

[@PerseusToons]

It’d be awesome if the character “Stephen Colbert” made a guest appearance on Jordan’s new show, kind of passing the torch of right-wing craziness.

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

It would be awesome if Comedy Central just focused on having great comedy instead of pandering to liberals.

[@MaoTseFunkadelic]

Maybe Conservatives should make their own satire show rather than wait to be pandered to. I'm not a fan of Alex Jones.

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

@Keith Panton name one comedian that does that. I just want comedy to make me laugh not constantly telling me how to vote. I don’t hate liberals I just hate political pandering that is disguised as comedy.

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

@Keith Panton my original comment was specifically about Comedy Central shoving politics down our throats. Funny is funny and I don’t think anything is off limits. My favorite comedian of all time is Louis CK. He is a liberal and he talks about dark subject matter but to me it’s hilarious. I don’t agree with your punching down argument because telling a joke isn’t punching anything it’s a joke. There is a lot of comedy in the things that make us different racially and culturally. The new rule though is that you can talk about those things as long as you are not white. Go ahead send me to racistville I do t care.

[@MyDefendor]

I am happy that Jordan got his own show and it was a smart premise how choice to do his act, very apt.

[@rkhound247]

I've seen his bit. It's amusing

[@pirateman1966]

I am sure I will love his show. He is so authentic and funny.

[@simonfrederiksen104]

2:22-2:30 Try replaying that segment without sound - WTF is he doing with his hands? Ghost massage?

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Simon Frederiksen you mean you've never tried ghost massage? Wow. You haven't lived until then.

[@ExploringTampa]

He's sending us a secret signal. Warning us of impending doom.

[@princessbuttercup8954]

Simon Frederiksen 😂😂😂😂

[@steh8831]

Simon Frederiksen - That's where Alex's regular audience experience 'missing time' as they get distracted by the hand gestures and flapping paper.

[@donalobrien9422]

Wax on wax off, like the karate kid.

[@main4325]

I'm really glad he has his own show

[@cactikaty]

i am looking forward to see his show.

[@luliby2309]

That part about how these people aren't so much looking at facts, but are instead giving anecdotes and their experience of a situation is so true. The problem is that not looking at the facts will lead to sooooooo many problems.

[@unanimous300]

Jordan Klepper, I was watching the first minute of your first show on KZbin, and they pulled it from view right in front of me. Must have been some good stuff. I guess we'll never know.

[@lemonielala3080]

Omg Klepper's laugh/chuckle! 😍😍 Can't get enough!!!!! 🔥

[@MannyRutinel]

So he's basically bringing back The Colbert Report

[@MultiCardsfan1]

Manny Rutinel It's Pretty much the modern day Colbert report

[@larryhoover718]

Colbert was imulating bill o Reilly. We really needed that, at the time. Now we got cucks like tucker carlson. I feel he closely imulates tucker, which is basically a reboot of bill o Reilly. Only natural they did this

[@hittingyouoverthehead]

Manny Rutinel pretty much.. I'm not complaining, though. Jordan is funny and Colbert report of always good

[@ThePbird1]

I love it when talent promotes talent.

[@cloyettegrant1733]

Klepper is really funny in a corny way. Hope his show is a success.

[@smallseal17]

Some day, Richard Spencer's going to walk down a street, and someone's going to mistake him for Jordan Klepper. It's going to be hilarious.

[@Dante3214]

Someone goes to shake his hand, figures out who he rlly is and punches him :P

[@sycois]

Excited for this! Miss the Colbert Report.

[@greeneyes2095]

Alex Jones is freaking out he's about to get exposed on a mainstream level. He asked for it lol

[@justaburner8028]

Green Eyes Alex Jones was around with millions of followers long before anyone anyone knew who Seth or Jordan were, if you think they are going to 'expose' Alex then you're mentally challenged

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"And he says it all very disingenuously." Oh my gosh. I _never_ would've suspected Alex Jones to be capable of handling a word with six syllables.

[@seivaDsugnA]

..while emulating a football.

[@jizzosh1233]

Can't wait show looks great.

[@gametrailercentral3666]

Not sure if he can compete with Colbert's Tuck Buckford.

[@smallseal17]

Considering that after Charlottesville, when it came time to assign responsibility, a lot of the alt-right figureheads starting pointing finger and falling out... ...like, a fake feud between Jordan Klepper and Tuck Buckford would be... kind of true to form, and also... kind of amazing?

[@sdgdhpmbp]

smallseal17 That's such an OOT idea that it belongs on the WWE.

[@x2f01mick]

borot man Ocarina of Time? Sorry but what is OOT?

[@blakemonway]

x2f01mick Out Of Touch, perhaps?

[@x2f01mick]

Bmon624 ahh tyvm. My mind always goes to Zelda first.

[@jimbo92107]

Klepper absolutely should start selling his own line of expensive survival rations. Take what Alex Jones sells, then sell slightly larger portions for a little more money.

[@afafbouardi5905]

and virility pills

[@gu8386]

Klepper and Meyers: CLASSIC!

[@Lennyy15]

Im in love with this man.

[@williamgirard2412]

That explains it!!! They both broke their teeth in the Windy City! Awesome. I already liked both of them, now I love 'em!!!

[@mommalisa1226]

I must say the Remarks are hilarious on Here!😂You Guys so damn Funny..❤

[@kreshar]

I've only been one place in new york for 6 hours (on a train) and it was penn station. It was the best pizza i ever had..

[@OurFoundingLiars]

Man, I've been trying to get a show like this for 2 years :(

[@spunz83ify]

In Indonesia we have a famous desert from the province of Sulawesi called Kleppertart.

[@LadyHashZ]

I was wondering where he went! Good for him to have his own show!! I’m a fan before I even watched it! Jordan rules

[@ihorhagl517]

haha jordan is a genius

[@kudasinezuko2881]

I was expecting the improv story to say the sleepy guy is dead in the bit and we are at his funeral lol

[@stealthattack2209]

Alex Jones is a certified nut case

[@Dorian_sapiens]

Well, certifiable, at least.

[@TREVASLARK]

Nah - he's a carefully calculated nutcase, kind of like some aound up salesmen on commercial tv. I heard he was upset at QAnon for out-crazying him.

[@leojakobsen2857]

Store use factor wpxta allow excitement dramatic significantly inside.

[@supposedlyaperson2168]

Jordans such a cool guy

[@Siegaplays]

"this is mind control" LMAO

[@currentresident3775]

I love J Klepper's show!

[@DoomJoy666]

klepper shows that if you gotta quick shot on tv, if you are charming and give great commentary with good presence and boom you're a new host on comedy central

[@eaubert1]

Now I finally know where Klepper got the idea to have that mess on his desk!

[@luftlinie811]

He is underrated

[@CH-xq6if]

I found myself looking at the infowars comments section it was frightening!

[@sethroy4318]

The feel when alt-right senpai notices you

[@afafbouardi5905]

feels gross

[@tsukikotsutsukakushi9339]

I really needed to see this interview. I love the character that Jordan Klepper plays but I didn't want to see him come off as disingenuous similar to how I used to feel about Stephen Colbert during the Colbert Report days. I can't wait The Opposition!

[@that_pac123]

Omg, thank you! It's literally all anecdotal evidence! All from personal experience, but nothing from actual statistical evidence!!!

[@shoepermanbutthman2188]

I always knew he'll have a show.

[@ladymuck2]

What I notice is that the hosts chair is elevated above the guests so he is superior.

[@nathanlerud3985]

As far as proving they could influence my thoughts the only thing thst comes to mind is the brandy story when my mom slammed the door at the end of the dream which at first you might say is just the end of the dream because the door slammed but this happened at almost the same time so either it was timed or there was someone putting the thought in and or reading it out because it was completely uncharacteristic of anybody and to be anticipating that moment with a door slam off only a mind reader no way I think they put it in and either read it out or said they were simultaneously reading it out as they're just putting it in

[@nathanlerud3985]

Anthony Johnson I'm used to everything being edited so I spray and pray with information sometimes in a text message it said they used the stomach nanos before Minn when Brent asked me to read the date on a beer and while I was in the hospital and the first two times are the only times I feel 100 percent certain they had influence over a stomach ache just for icing on the cake the beer incident with Brent happened after Minn and messages talking about that capability

[@brandowag3]

astute description of media

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

Do you think Alex Jones even knows what Alex Jones is saying?

[@AmirandJake]

Jordan Klepper is doing the work of angels. Same, well-informed, articulate angels.

[@paxboniato]

anyone else (chrome users?) randomly get blackscreen seemingly only on vids from this channel? refreshing usually does nothing, gotta reopen url in safari :/

[@lisaahmari7199]

I don't know know how Jordan keeps a straight face when he interviews trump supporters. He is BRILLIANT.

[@HarrisonsFord]

The title of this video is incomprehensible, I'm still not sure how to read it.

[@1stDiaperDon]

Jordan is so clever, intelligent and a riot...

[@elconceptodematiz5574]

This show wont get cancelled after a season😉

[@SplotPublishing]

That's so meta... a parody of a parody of a parody.

[@afafbouardi5905]

hahah, took me a second but i got it ;)

[@tomboz777]

Jordon Klepper HAS THE DOCUMENTS.

[@benwasserman8223]

Maybe this will start a Klepper/Alex Jones relationship in the same vein as Colbert and Bill O'Reily

[@edwardjohnson8933]

I hate having my favorite shows over lapping each other.. the president show ain't bad really, but Colbert s monologue is 2nd to none. Gotta watch Colbert.

[@visceratrocar]

Jon Stewart did Glenn Back. Colbert did Bill O'Riley. Now Jordan is doing Alex Jones. Works for me.

[@christiegreenwood2642]

THEM ARE FIGHTING AGAINST WE!

[@mikew8880]

yo, what's with the ads running twice, sometimes tree times in a row?

[@jguerrero447]

I just need a Fresca.

[@jwk128]

Follow the wwf rule "never break character"

[@victorwilburn8588]

"And he says it all very disingenuously." As one does. When one is JOKING.

[@edmundskl]

He sounds so much like anderson cooper lol

[@harrisonrutledge5]

I love Alex Jones. He’s fucking hilarious! And a comedian too. His reaction is all staging.

[@rasaecnai]

Another Jon Stewart baby making it big! I hope its a success and good luck!

[@nyla-amarasmit8117]

Wow very early!! Only 1000 views.. Xxx 😘😘💕💕

[@LadyHashZ]

inge smit yes

[@MrRacecourser]

Awesome Alex Jones promo.

[@BryceChillis]

hey he's doing colbert's old thing! cool!

[@ewenchan1239]

And Alex Jones wonders why he lost custody of his kids....

[@mrgrey2752]

I can't believe they cancelled it

[@LukeDallert]

I wanna see how Jordan Klepper taking mind control of Alex Jones. That would be probably too easy to own Alex Jones. 😄👌

[@rocketman7356]

So its a Trevor Noah spinoff of Steven Colbert's character Tuck Buckford, inspired by Alex Jones, and now being promoted on Seth Meyers. I see.

[@Montesama314]

Alex Jones, Mr. "I'm so tough because I drink caveman semen, please buy some today!" gets offended really easily. He's afraid that "they" are learning to attack him... that's only a bad thing for him because "they" will be able to see through Jones's bullshit a lot easier once they're familiar with his style of angry non-reporting. (Another way to see through it would be to watch a couple of Jones's segments, but you'll only be confused by the end. Trust me.) Me? I don't need "mind control." I know better than to argue with a guy who makes huge ridiculous claims without proof. You just have to back away slowly.

[@Montesama314]

@Keith Panton Yeah, that's pretty much his shtick, while also claiming his show is a foot away from poverty so please give him money now (while wearing a genuine Rolex on screen).

[@seivaDsugnA]

There can be no repayment of the suffering this PoS brought upon the families of the Sandy Hook victims.

[@SLORB857]

nothing says good satire like going on a talk show and stating that its satire.

[@JustSomeGirl87]

His hairline is interesting... not"bad"... just interesting...

[@JC-ev2ns]

Hopefully this is the 2017 Colbert Report and doesn't get prematurely cancelled like Larry Wilmores show. Trevor has been given a huge amount of leeway by Comedy Central but has been struggling. They are really missing that Stewart-Colbert 1-2 punch and hopefully fingers crossed if this new combo can capture even half of those guys magic they will be fine

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

They should give the show to a person of color

[@JC-ev2ns]

They tried that already

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

J C there are enough white people on tv

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

He should've been in character.

[@magnusmadkrantz147]

Thank god Alex Jones is off The air forever on every platform.

[@C2DP27]

Yes, because censoring anything we don't agree with is so inline with free speech. 🤦

[@normanharris7333]

I miss Alex Jones... he always made me feel good and silly😎🤣

[@nathanlerud223]

depending on whats going on you might have to take me at my word for more thsn i wish but in ark i wrote out on paper chill out and a long note and showed it in my room and then updated fb and at the very top i mean first thing and the ratm on my birthday is the only other thing off the top of my head being at the very top but josh homme onstage and it says when someone tells you to chill onstage or something it said chill or just chill thats not naturally occurring you know about all this we can start talking but i need to know what people think and k ow

[@NewMessage]

I loved his show when it was called 'The Colbert Report'.

[@philiphicks1273]

Alex Jones always looks like he’s seven seconds from a massive stroke.

[@polyorchid528]

I feel sorry about the Alex and his costody battle. Not for him but for the woman that had to have sex with him.

[@TheBlarggle]

It's Colbert 2.0 essentially. That's not a bad thing.

[@paulhalfpenny1139]

Very Chris Morris.

[@cvgurau]

i've seen all of three episodes of TDS since Jon left, so it seems weird to me that this guy got his own show. Like, too soon, weirdly. But it's been two years since Jon left..... sigh ....

[@Amt2451]

Remember when you didn't have to explain the joke to have it done over and over and over again?

[@compscilaw]

Ugh. I fucking love Jordan Klepper.

[@cestlaami]

Tuck Buckford exists tho

[@jschultz0805]

Klepper is a fucking Boss!

[@Ziontrainism]

I think Jordan should've got the Daily Show job.

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

Ziontrainism why because he is white?

[@Ziontrainism]

No. I don't find Trevor funny. He did have very big shoes to fill, though.

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

Ziontrainism you are extremely racist. Disgusting.

[@afafbouardi5905]

no. i'm finally warming up to Trevor Noah. He's killing it

[@codywhite9248]

Did he compare... breitbart and infowars with the Blaze??????????
