Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” star Jordan Klepper has now produced seven of his “Fingers the Pulse” specials, with another one on the way. And if there’s anything he’s learned from his time out in the field, it’s that Americans love to talk to people with a camera.
“When you get out into the wild of America, you are constantly surprised by what people are actually talking about,” says Klepper, who has been with “The Daily Show” for more than 12 years. “Americans are a lot more creative than we give them credit for — as far as conspiracy theories go, logic for political beliefs. I don’t know if we’re evolving or devolving over the last 10 years of doing it, but I do get a pretty good sense of how the cultural norms have shifted pretty drastically since I began ‘Fingers the Pulse.'”
