Jordan Klepper appeared on Monday\u2019s edition of \u201cMorning Joe\u201d<\/a> to promote his new \u201cDaily Show\u201d special and to push back on President Trump\u2019s peace prize campaign<\/a>, bluntly telling MS NOW viewers, \u201cI\u2019m not seeing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

His new special, which premieres Monday night on Comedy Central, is titled \u201cGive the Man a Prize\u201d and it follows Klepper as he asks Americans on both sides of the political aisle during recent protests in cities like Portland and Chicago whether or not Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. The special also sees the \u201cDaily Show\u201d host travel to Norway to ask Norwegians if they believe Trump should be given the award.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had this narrative of this man who wanted a Nobel Prize so much that he was campaigning for it,\u201d Klepper said of the special\u2019s origins during his \u201cMorning Joe\u201d appearance. \u201cAt the same time, we see what\u2019s happening in Portland and Chicago, federal troops, masked men taking people off the streets, it was like, \u2018This is very incongruous here for a man who wants a medal so bad that he proclaims to everybody that he is the Peaceful President.\u2019 I\u2019m not seeing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding his Norway trip, Klepper noted, \u201c[Norwegians] are the nicest folks who quite often didn\u2019t want to express opinions on camera because they just saw no need for that. The folks who we did talk to were so kind but so blunt about the way in which they saw America, and, quite frankly, that was, \u2018Donald Trump doesn\u2019t deserve this prize. It\u2019s silly.\u2019\u201d The Comedy Central star added that there is a \u201csmall slice of Nordic MAGA\u201d who support the president\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for the vast majority of Norwegians, the Nobel Prize is theirs to bestow to somebody who is worthy of it,\u201d Klepper continued. \u201cThe one little caveat is they have given out this award to spur some kinds of change, too. An aspirational Nobel prize is not off the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In addition to addressing Trump\u2019s Peace Prize campaign<\/a>, Klepper spoke on the change he has witnessed among the president\u2019s supporters over the past year. \u201cI was at the Trump inauguration and I saw a shift in the supporters who were [there]. It confirmed everything they believed,\u201d Klepper explained. \u201cFor a little while in the Trump era, it seemed as if people were aware of inherent cruelty that are in some of these beliefs, aware of some of the incongruities of the logic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut suddenly Donald Trump gets elected for a second time and that defensiveness is gone,\u201d the comedian concluded. \u201cThere\u2019s just an openness to believe what it is you believe.\u201d When then asked about the state of mainstream comedy in the second age of President Trump, Klepper insisted that satirical and lighthearted resistance is more necessary than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take a lot of pride in being a part of this late night tradition,\u201d Klepper said. \u201cYou see what\u2019s happening at these cabinet meetings, you see what\u2019s happening with FIFA. What you\u2019re watching is people capitulating. The emperor has no clothes and all these people are there to tell him how sexy he is when he dresses. I think you need more people to call out the nudity that is there, and late night hosts have been doing that for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
