For his first bit back on the job, Trump supporters weighed in on the impeachment

“Trying to cover the campaigns of all the Democrats who are running for president is just crazy!” said Noah. “Luckily, I know someone who is talented and crazy enough to follow them all and his name is Jordan Klepper.”
Klepper is also set to perform at Pop-Up Magazine’s live show in February, TheWrap reported exclusively.
