The Precap | Jordan Klepper on "Bored" Trump's UFO Report, Cruise Ship Improv, and Crying During Basketball

from The Daily Show: Ears Edition · host Comedy Central

This week's host Jordan Klepper sits down with Daily Show writer Scott Hercman to recap the latest news, and preview the week to come. They look back at Jordan's first days at The Daily Show as weird costume fodder and history as a cruise ship performer, and dig in to reports that Trump is "bored" with his war in Iran, preferring to sew chaos with UFO reports, constant construction and late night NFL kickoff criticism. Looking ahead, they preview Trump's trip to China with his CEO entourage, and bask in the glow of a successful basketball playoff run with the New York Knicks. -- Watch the full video version of The Precap on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NsRwpf5ehdI -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
