If you liked Jordan Klepper’s work on "The Daily Show," you’ll probably enjoy his new series “Klepper.” Like a sort of gonzo George Plimpton, Klepper explores some of the darker aspects of American civic life today — like the story of U.S. military veterans who are only welcome back across the border after death, and undocumented college students forced to study underground in Georgia.

The series airs Thursday nights at 10:30 on Comedy Central and is accompanied by a podcast.

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in late 2008 and became news director in 2013. He began working on Morning Edition and has produced The Capitol Connection, Congressional Corner, and several other WAMC programs. Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and various newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
