Description

Academy Award-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss writing, directing, and starring in his Oscar-nominated film, "A Real Pain." They talk about carrying generational grief and grappling with his own life’s meaning as a descendant of Holocaust survivors, how he got unprecedented access to film at a concentration camp in Poland, how his relationship with Kieran Culkin mirrors their characters, and how that influenced his role as director. #DailyShow #ARealPain #JesseEisenberg #KieranCulkin Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

This is one of the best interviews i've seen on the Daily Show. Jordan knew the material and asked interesting questions and Jesse was given the space to be hilarious. 10/10

This turned into Jordan’s audition for Jesse’s next film. They would be great together.
