The Opposition with Jordan Klepper Season 1 Episode 23 November 8, 2017

On November 8, 2017, the twenty-third episode of The Opposition with Jordan Klepper aired on Comedy Central. The show is a satirical news program that parodies right-wing media. In this episode, Klepper confronts the aftermath of the 2017 election, in which Democrats won several key races across the country.

The show begins with a monologue from Klepper in which he congratulates Democrats on their victories and expresses his shock at the outcome of the election. He then goes on to mock the conservative media's response to the election, including Fox News' attempts to explain away the Democrats' victories as isolated incidents.

Klepper's first guest of the night is journalist and commentator Kurt Bardella. The two discuss the election results and what it means for the Trump administration. Bardella argues that the election was a repudiation of Trump and his agenda, and that it represents a turning point for the country. Klepper, playing the role of a conservative pundit, pushes back against Bardella's arguments and defends the president.

The next segment of the show features a field report from correspondent Kobi Libii, who visits a Trump rally in Virginia to gauge the mood of his supporters. Libii speaks to several rally-goers, who express their support for the president and their frustration with the media. Klepper then joins Libii in the studio to mock the rally-goers and to satirize the tactics and rhetoric of the Trump campaign.

The final segment of the show is a panel discussion with three guests: former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, political analyst Amy Holmes, and comedian Moshe Kasher. The three discuss the election results and their implications for the future of politics in America. Steele argues that the Republican Party needs to take a hard look at itself and make changes if it wants to win elections in the future. Holmes counters that the election was not a decisive victory for Democrats, and that Republicans still have the opportunity to make gains in the coming years. Kasher injects humor into the discussion, riffing on the personalities and politics of the guests.

Throughout the episode, Klepper maintains his satirical persona as a right-wing pundit, but he also allows his guests to express their viewpoints and engage in genuine conversation. The show is a mix of comedy and political commentary, and it provides a unique perspective on the news of the day.
