About this Event

The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, along with the Harvard College Community of Humanists, Atheists, and Agnostics (HCHAA), are delighted to announce that Jordan Klepper is our 2025 Harvard Humanist of the Year.

Klepper is best known for his work as a longtime correspondent and host for legendary comedy show The Daily Show (alongside both Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah), and his multiple Emmy-nominated specials focusing on the political world. Bringing a deeply humanistic vision into an extraordinarily wide range of comedic interactions, Jordan has witnessed an insurrection, capsized a boat with pipeline protestors, interviewed a President, and been arrested and locked up in Fulton County J*il. He also travels the globe with his segment “Fingers The Pulse,” which has racked up hundreds of millions of views.

An award ceremony honoring Klepper, and a conversation with the Harvard Humanist community, will take place on Saturday Nov. 1 at 7pm, in the Thompson Room of Harvard University’s Barker Center, 12 Quincy St., Cambridge. Tickets can be reserved via a donation of any amount; suggested donation is $10 per person. All proceeds from this event will go to the ACLU of Massachusetts.

The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard & MIT is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, founded 50 years ago as the first-ever college or university-based institution dedicated to supporting the ethical and communal lives of nonreligious people. For more information see humanistchaplaincy.org.
