“Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper on Wednesday mocked Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade for “not buying” the United Nations’ claims that Donald Trump’s videographer may have inadvertently halted the president’s escalator ride.Klepper — who clowned right-wing media figures for wanting to “breathlessly recount” the incident as the president’s “harrowing brush with danger” — played a clip of Kilmeade calling a statement from a U.N. spokesperson into question and emphasizing the appearance of an ellipses in it.“We’re making ellipses feel sinister now?” quipped Klepper before launching into a conspiratorial tangent. “What are these dots? What are they hiding? And don’t get me started on semicolons! Are you a period or a comma? Pick one!”He then asked how Kilmeade could be an “expert” on escalators before tossing to more of the host’s remarks on “Fox & Friends” where he claimed that it’s been nothing but smooth sailing when he gets on the moving staircases.“I do a lot of shopping, go to a lot of malls, go to the second floor where the men’s stuff is, you know, because you walk in on the first floor. Never happened to me!” Kilmeade declared.Fox News’ Peter Doocy, who appeared for a live hit outside the White House, bluntly replied: “Uh, that’s great.”Klepper’s audience got a kick out of Doocy’s response.“That’s it? Your whole story about the escalator is that you also once went up an escalator? Another fascinating addition to the discourse,” Klepper joked.Watch more of Klepper’s Wednesday monologue on “The Daily Show.”Close
