COMEDY CENTRAL ANNOUNCES THE DAILY SHOW PRESENTS: JORDAN KLEPPER FINGERS THE PULSE: MAGA: THE NEXT GENERATION

• The brand new special premieres May 19 following The Daily Show on Comedy Central

April 29, 2025 – New York, NY – Comedy Central today announced a new special The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse: MAGA: The Next Generation featuring The Daily Show’s Emmy®-winning Jordan Klepper. The special is set to premiere right after The Daily Show on Monday, May 19 at 11:30pm ET/PT and will be available on Paramount+, The Daily Show’s YouTube Channel, and VOD starting May 20.

In this half-hour special, Jordan explores the world of young MAGA––a surprising pocket of young voters who emerged in support of Donald Trump during last year’s election. 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? Jordan Klepper––who is basically under 30––will find out by fingering the pulse of MAGA everywhere from college campuses to MMA Octagons.

Klepper’s sixth special arrives following the widespread success of The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse: Rally Together. Previous specials include Emmy-nominated The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse - Moscow Tools; The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Midterms - America Unfollows Democracy; Emmy-nominated The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Globe - Hungary for Democracy; and Emmy-and Directors Guild Award®-Nominated The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse - Into The MAGAverse, which revisited Jordan’s encounters at Trump rallies along the 2020 campaign trail.
