Jordan Klepper is not setting out to be another Stephen Colbert.
Klepper is a correspondent for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” who will spin off into his own 11:30 p.m. show for Comedy Central this fall, just as Colbert (and later, Larry Wilmore) did from “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” But that’s where the comparison ends, according to network president Kent Alterman.
“This isn’t about Jordan trying to create a character like Colbert’s character was,” Alterman said. “This is really about trying to play to Jordan’s strengths. He’s so quick and so smart… Even on the field pieces [on ‘The Daily Show’] there are times where he plays almost a clueless, arrogant liberal and other times he goes the opposite direction.”

Comedy Central has finally announced a new companion series for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” and they haven’t gone far to find a host. Jordan Klepper, who’s been with the show since 2014, will move to his own new late night talk show this fall.
“Jordan’s talent has become so increasingly obvious it would take a real fool to not offer him this opportunity,” said Comedy Central president Kent Alterman, who announced the show (which doesn’t yet have a title) on Tuesday morning.
