The Opposition w/ Jordan Klepper is set to premiere on Monday, September 25th right after The Daily Show. While Klepper is the host of the show, he's planning on bringing along with a team of correspondents citizen journalists. The first-ever group were announced and they include Tim Baltz (Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, Shrink) Laura Grey (Jordan Klepper Solves Guns), Aaron Jackson (UCB), Josh Sharp (UCB), Kobi Libii (Transparent) and Niccole Thurman (Second City) as its team. They will be joining Jordan Klepper in satirizing the hyperbolic, conspiracy-laden noise machine that is the alternative-media landscape on both the right and left.
Klepper stated, “Like the dodgeball captain I once longed to be, I finally got a chance to select a team of fearless warriors who will use their immense skills to shield me from harm. Also, they are wicked talented and a blast to perform with.”
Additionally, they revealed who will serve on the writing staff. Among them include Klepper's Daily Show/Jordan Klepper Solves Guns alum Ian Berger as co-exec producer. Writers from Second City, iO, Drunk History, @midnight, ClickHole, round out the staff.
