HBO released some new photos from this next episode, “The Queen’s Justice,” and it looks like a Targaryen family reunion is in the works. OH, WHATEVER, WE ALL KNOW R + L = J.
WAIT, WHAT?
The Opposition with Jordan Klepper is your newest late night Daily Show spinoff: “The Opposition with Jordan Klepper will satirize the hyperbolic, conspiracy-laden noise machine that is the alternative-media landscape on both the right and left. The Opposition is the voice of the new America. It is the America that defines its own reality. It’s the America of paid protestors, Obama’s birth certificate, and the certainty that CNN is fake news.”
According to Vanity Fair, Klepper will play a conspiracy theorist character, ala Alex Jones, and satirize both sides of the political spectrum. So, yes, while it’s another white guy ripping on the news on late night, at least it’ll be another white guy playing a character while ripping on the news on late night. You know, like The Colbert Report.
It will debut on Comedy Central on September 25th, immediately following The Daily Show.
