Ep 107. Anthony Scaramucci

In season 1 episode 107 of The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, the titular host takes on former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. In typical Klepper fashion, the episode is chock-full of satirical humor and biting commentary on the state of American politics.

The episode begins with Klepper lamenting the fact that he hasn't been able to book Scaramucci as a guest on his show despite the fact that the former communications director is seemingly making the rounds on every other political talk show. Klepper speculates that perhaps Scaramucci has a vendetta against him, or maybe he's just afraid of being talked over by the quick-witted host.

As the episode progresses, Klepper delves into Scaramucci's recent appearances on other shows, analyzing his talking points and the way in which he presents himself to the media. Klepper is particularly incensed by Scaramucci's insistence that he's still loyal to President Trump despite having been fired from his position at the White House.

Klepper mocks Scaramucci's attempts to ingratiate himself with the media, suggesting that he's more concerned with his own image than with any actual political goals. He takes particular issue with Scaramucci's assertion that he's a "reformed" figure within the Republican party, pointing out that the former communications director has only been out of the White House for a few months.

Amidst all of this, Klepper also manages to squeeze in some segments that are more lighthearted in nature. One such segment involves Klepper giving "awards" to various members of the Trump administration, including Scott Pruitt and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The awards themselves are predictably absurd - for example, Klepper presents Pruitt with a trophy shaped like a smokestack in honor of his efforts to roll back environmental regulations.

All of this leads up to the main event of the episode - Klepper's "interview" with Scaramucci. Of course, true to form, Klepper doesn't actually manage to get Scaramucci on the show in person. Instead, he resorts to calling the former communications director on the phone as he's en route to another interview.

During the brief conversation, Klepper tries to get Scaramucci to open up about his true feelings towards Trump and his administration. Scaramucci is predictably cagey, dancing around Klepper's questions and refusing to engage with any of his points directly.

Despite this lack of engagement, Klepper manages to display his trademark wit and biting sarcasm throughout the conversation. He needles Scaramucci about his "reformed" image and his repeated appearances on various talk shows, suggesting that the former communications director is more interested in self-promotion than in actual political work.

All in all, season 1 episode 107 of The Opposition with Jordan Klepper is a hilarious and incisive look at the world of American politics. Whether you're a hardcore political junkie or simply looking for some laughs, this episode is sure to deliver.
