Summary

Recorded Thursday, April 18th. Jordan Klepper is joined by Supervising Producer, Ian Berger, and Segment Director, Zach Golden, to take us behind the scenes of Donald Trump’s Criminal hush money trial in New York. They discuss how they prepared for this shoot given Trump’s promise of ‘all hell [breaking] loose’ and how they pivoted when they found there was actually more media than MAGA supporters. Plus, Klepper and team talk about running into Andrew Giuliani and the one MAGA supporter who was not just proud of her January 6th attendance, but plugged her appearance on America’s Most Wanted.
