It’s almost been three years since the 11:30PM slot during the week at Comedy Central has been occupied by something uber-satirical in nature. The Colbert Report ended at the end of 2014 followed up by a much more grounded The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, then, briefly by the game show @midnight.
Now, Jordan Klepper looks to return to a Colbert Report-ish show with The Opposition that will be the companion to The Daily Show. In fact, think of The Opposition with Jordan Klepper is to Infowars as The Colbert Report was to The O’Reilly Factor.
