The very first State of the Union Address will be delivered by President Trump tonight live at 9PM EST/6PM PST.

Of course, late night will not miss an opportunity to get right in on the aftermath as soon as POTUS finishes attempting (maybe) to speak like an adult.

So, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air immediately after coverage ends on CBS (meaning it’ll be primetime here on the West Coast). He’ll have the hosts of Pod Save America: Tommy Vietor, Jon Favreau & Jon Lovett, 2 Dope Queens’ Jessica Williams & Phoebe Robinson as guests.

Trevor Noah and Jordan Klepper will go for a one-two punch by both going live after the State of the Union with The Daily Show and The Opposition at 11PM EST/8PM PST & 11:30PM EST/8:30PM PST respectively.

Oh, don’t forget that Jimmy Kimmel will being interviewing Stormy Daniels, the porn star that is making claims to have had an extramarital affair with Trump tonight as well at his normal time of 11:35PM.

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.

See how much that analogy rings true tonight at 11:30PM on Comedy Central.

As The Daily Show will be to The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, so will “the best f*cking news team” be to “Citizen Journalists”.

Next Monday, The Opposition with Jordan Klepper will make its debut with an 11:30PM return to something more satirical, Colbert-Report-ish on Comedy Central. Joining Klepper in this mission will be Tim Baltz, Laura Grey, Aaron Jackson, Josh Sharp, Kobi Libii and Niccole Thurman.

Given the show’s premise of Klepper of being “the opposition” at all costs, we’re sure his team will be used plenty in the field. We wouldn’t be surprised to seem them play heightened characters in panel debates too.

You know, it just occurred to us that The Opposition with Jordan Klepper might be the spiritual successor to The Colbert Report.

Klepper, now a former Daily Show correspondent, is set to satirize conspiracy theoriests, alt-right, etc. by taking their side to the nth degree, similar to the beloved, ironic, conservative political pundit character Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report.

See for yourself in this teaser, then look for The Opposition with Jordan Klepper’s premiere on Monday, September 25th following The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
