“The Daily Show” kicks off Monday in Chicago with Gov. J.B. Pritzker taking show correspondent Jordan Klepper around Chicago. And that meant hitting several bars, including The Gman Tavern, Murphy’s Bleachers and Guthries Tavern. Over the course of a bit of day drinking, Klepper got Pritzker to open up about a few big issues — like whether the Chicago-based Emmy winner “The Bear” should be considered a comedy.
"I don't know why it's in the comedy category, but I have to say it's one of the best shows on TV, and it shows Chicago," Pritzker told Klepper in the segment, which airs on the show Monday. Variety has a first look at the clip, which you can watch below ahead of the governor's appearance at the Democratic National Convention.
