I like Klepper a lot. I think he'd be a great full time host when Jon gives up the mantle again.

He’s needlessly vulgar and then just doubles down on it too long. There’s something to be said for subtlety when doing double entendre. None of his guest interviews feel authentic, but that’s just me. It feels like he’s cosplaying John and not doing a good job of it.

Yeah that's a fair point. He doesn't have Jon's subelty or class-act, even if he is often on point with his overall message.
