I'm Definitely Not Opposed To "The Opposition"

The newest show from Comedy Central

I'm Definitely Not Opposed To "The Opposition"
Vanity Fair

Throughout my time in New York for school, I've been lucky enough to see more than a few TV tapings in some of the most famous studios in the US, if not the world.

From Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show to the ever-funny SNL, being able to watch quality live comedy in a cool, totally unique atmosphere is one of my favorite pastimes. Knowing this, it comes as a surprise to no one that when my job offered me tickets to check out Comedy Central's new show The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, I was totally on board.

Arriving at the show was easy enough: the studio is located in Midtown, and all that stood between me and a very funny evening was a security check and a slightly chilly reception room.

After waiting about a half hour for the show to start--my coworkers and I had arrived at the earliest possible time in order to get good seats--we were ushered into a small studio that was decorated with the corkboard mind-maps of a conspiracy theorist--only these theories were totally revolving around Beyonce, Russia, and the existence of sentient computers.

You see, The Opposition is the exact opposite of its sister network The Daily Show: it mocks the ridiculousness alt-right media by imitating it to the point of hilarity, something that Jordan Klepper was able to pull off flawlessly. With pitch-perfect comic timing and a good-natured grin when not on camera, Klepper leads The Opposition to victory in its quest to deflate the ego of the alt-right.

With episodes available for free streaming online, The Opposition is a new comedy you should definitely check out. And if you score any more studio tickets, feel free to invite me along!

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
