Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper aired his latest The Daily Show special on Monday that proved why conservatives should stop trying to win the approval of liberal comedy shows and Norwegian socialists as he tried to argue there is a logical disconnect between the idea that President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and what the administration has done in cities like Portland, Oregon. Worst of all, Klepper couldn’t even keep his clothes on for the entire episode as he joined Portland’s Naked Bike Ride to try to make his point.
Before traveling to Portland, Klepper jetted off to Norway to interview former Nobel Committee Chairwoman Berit Reiss-Anderson, who claimed the criteria for the award include either having “contributed to fraternity between people or nations, to peace institutions, and/or contributing to reducing standing armies.”
At no point did Klepper press Reiss-Anderson on the Nobel Committee giving an award to Barack Obama before he did anything. Nor did he press them on giving awards to people like Yasser Arafat, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Abiy Ahmed. Instead, a solemn but sarcastic Klepper asked, “Donald Trump has a new ‘no fatties in the army’ policy. Does that count?”
