On Thursday’s episode of “The Opposition With Jordan Klepper,” citizen journalist Laura Grey took a page from Jeanine Pirro’s playbook and lobbied Donald Trump for a new job as first daughter.
During a segment in which Grey defended Fox News personality Pirro’s fitness to replace Jeff Sessions as Attorney General — Politico reports she has been lobbying for the job — Grey noted all the ways Pirro has criticized and condemned Sessions. Then she turned her attention to Ivanka Trump.
“Can Sessions and hire Pirro. And while we’re here, Ivanka is doing a terrible job as your daughter! You need someone more qualified. Wink,” Grey said, while awkwardly winking directly into the camera.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Opposition,” Jordan Klepper was certain that the impending International House of Pancakes restaurant chain name-change masks a terrible threat — and he brought in almost his entire team to figure out what it is.
On Wednesday morning, Ihop announced on its Facebook page that on June 18, it will change its name by flipping the P (for “pancakes”) to a B. Ihop didn’t actually say what the B in “Ihob” will stand for. Most people assume “breakfast,” but Klepper found that suggestion appalling.
“Ihop, the letter that was broken in your name wasn’t the P, it was the I, for ‘international.’ I hate the fact that my Create-a-Face pancake is made in a globalist enclave full of espionage — and French toast,” the pretend right-wing fanatic exclaimed.
