You're listening to Comedy Central. Devin, are you ready? Devin. I am I ready? This first part, it's two lines of script, but he's nervous. He's like, should I make eye contact here? Should I pretend like I'm casually reading? If I casually read, do I have to keep my eyeline on these words the entire time? Are we going to play this? Don't you do the Jordan Klepper thing to me? Don't Jordan Klepper me? You do this to other people.

You don't do. You do the Jordan Klepper thing to me.

Don't Jordan Klepper me?

You do this to other people.

You don't do this to people in the building?

Let me turn it on you.

Hello and welcome to the precap where we sit down with this week's daily show host to preview what's coming up and recap some of the news we might have missed.

My name is Devin Delequanty. I'm a writer at the show and I am joined today by the Jordan Klepper. Hello hello Devin yes is there applause on these podcasts there should be in your mind yes there always

is every podcast they do there's applause yeah there's sighs and eventually there's

clicking off after about 12 minutes when they realize it's just another podcast

with people talking but that's not what. But that's not what this is.

That's not what this is.

This is the greatest podcast. This is the podcast. All the people want, they want to know what you missed and they want to know what you're not going to miss. We live somewhere in the middle here. This is about what you're going to see this week on the show, but also what we missed. Last week on the show, we're sort of in the, we're edging.

This is daily show edges right now.

Seamless transition. What did we miss last week, Jordan? What did you miss? What has your week been like? My week has been being stuck on a tarmac because of the government shutdown and weather that has attacked the East Coast. So this is the problem. When you get to host the daily show, you get to sit behind a desk, they put you in a beautiful suit, the audience laughs at your jokes. It's very cushy. Life is pretty good. If you're John Stewart, you come in once a week and get to do that. I like that. That's a great job. Great job. Everybody should be John Stewart. But when you're not, occasionally, when you're not hosting

the show, you go out into the world, you talk to people. I traveled out into the world and

getting back to New York City was an impossibility this week. So I spent a lot of time on the

tarmac in Memphis because the TSA all across the country is understaffed because it turns out we don't fund the TSA.

We send that money elsewhere or we fight to make political points.

Yes, I've been on the road a bunch in the last couple weeks for some stand-up shows and for daily show stuff.

And most of my flights have been delayed, canceled.

Three times in the last two weeks, I've gone up in the air, circled so many times that we ran out of gas and had to land somewhere else.
