I really like Jordan Klepper. Comedy Central gave him two shots at his own show. The first was funny but at times, it felt like a cheap foreign knock-off of The Colbert Report. The second was clever and sharp and daring and, from what I can discern, watched only by me. Now, he's back on The Daily Show and doing something he does real well: Venturing with a camera crew into what you might call "Enemy Territory" and finding utterly clueless people to interview.
I feel twinges of guilt enjoying a segment like that. I don't like prank shows because I think they're largely rigged: You either make a fool of yourself or you get edited out. This is almost that but not quite. I'm sure when Klepper went around with his microphone, he chatted with some people who didn't come off as clueless clowns. But that's not funny so that's not in the segment. To his credit though, he's done this with Democrats so he reinforces my belief that every political movement has its idiot faction. But really, what I like about him is that he usually manages to achieve smart and funny at the same time. See if you don't agree…
