“With comedy, you can have the hardest conversations.”
Jordan Klepper on NPR

Don’t miss your chance to see Emmy-winning Daily Show host and stand-up comedy star Jordan Klepper live in an unforgettable evening of wit, humor, and storytelling. Joined by former SNL star Molly Kearney, this moderated conversation and Q&A is guaranteed to entertain!

Klepper is best known for his Emmy-nominated specials that dive into the political landscape. From tackling the gun safety debate in Jordan Klepper Solves Guns to his docuseries on activism, Klepper on Comedy Central, he’s experienced it all—witnessing an insurrection, capsizing a boat with pipeline protestors, and even being locked up in Fulton County Jail.

Klepper’s segment Fingers The Pulse has garnered hundreds of millions of views as he travels the globe. Klepper wrote, starred in, and executive produced the specials Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Into The MagaVerse, Fingers The Midterms, and Hungary for Democracy, the latter earning him a Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in TV Political Journalism.

He also served as executive producer and host of The Opposition and Klepper, which was praised by the Detroit Free Press as “A fresh, powerful interpretation of news.” Alongside his nearly decade-long role as a correspondent on The Daily Show, he co-hosts the popular podcast StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson and the Webby Award-winning Fingers The Conspiracy.

Klepper’s insights have appeared on networks such as CNN, MSNBC, and Showtime, as well as in op-eds for the Boston Globe. He also lends his voice to Pete in Disney’s The Ghost and Molly McGee.

Joining him for this event is Molly Kearney (they/them), who made history this year as the first non-binary cast member of Saturday Night Live. Recently, they opened for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on their Restless Leg Tour and wrapped shooting Good Burger 2 for Paramount+. Kearney has also appeared in Amazon’s A League of Their Own and Disney+’s The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, they started their comedy journey on Put-In-Bay Island in Lake Erie, eventually gaining recognition through Comedy Central’s “Up Next” Showcase and performing at Clusterfest in San Francisco.
