New York, NY - May 13, 2024 – Comedy Central today announced a new special The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse: Moscow Tools featuring The Daily Show’s Emmy®-nominated Jordan Klepper. The half-hour special is set to premiere on May 20 at 11:30pm ET/PT and will be available on Paramount+, The Daily Show’s YouTube Channel, CC.com and VOD starting May 21. 

As Vladimir Putin continues his gritty reboot of the Soviet Union, he's getting a surprising amount of help from the party once led by Reagan. Jordan Klepper speaks to foreign affairs experts, possible Russian assets, and probably Russian recording devices to find out whether Republicans have become the Kremlin's useful idiots. 

The Daily Show’s Emmy®-nominated short-form series “Jordan Klepper Fingers The Pulse” remains a fan favorite, with Jordan interviewing anti-vaxxers, Trump supporters, and even insurrectionists. Klepper’s fourth special comes following the widespread success of The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Midterms - America Unfollows Democracy, which amassed 3.8M views. Previous specials include Emmy-nominated, The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Globe - Hungary for Democracy, which documented Jordan’s trip to alt-right Hungary in the middle of an election and humanitarian crisis as well as 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. 

Jordan Klepper is Executive Producer, Writer and Star of The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Moscow Tools. Jen Flanz and Ian Berger serve as Executive Producers, with Zhubin Parang as Co-Executive Producer, and Ian Berger is Director. Sushil Dayal and Pamela DePace are Supervising Producers; and Abby Arora, Jocelyn Conn, Ramin Hedayati, Jessie Kanevsky, Matt Polidoro, Brittany Radocha, Shawna Shepherd, Elise Terrell and Fiona Wozniak are Producers.
