Plot Synopsis

Executive produced and hosted by Australian comedian Jim Jefferies, THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW is a weekly, half-hour series in which Jefferies takes on culture and politics with an unapologetic, honest and international approach. Each week, Jefferies tackles the week's top stories from behind his desk and travels the globe to far-off locations to provide an eye opening look at hypocrisy around the world. Featuring interviews, international field pieces, and man-on-the-ground investigations, Jefferies covers the most controversial issues, all through the lens of his distinctive brand of comedy. On the series premiere, Jim tackles the tricky subject of racism. On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 10:30pm ET/PT, Comedy Central debuted the fall premiere of THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW.

Season 2 of THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW premiered on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 at 10:30pm ET/PT. This season, Jim continues to shake up the humdrum formula of the political late-night show, as he attacks current events and travels around the globe for a firsthand look at the world's most pressing issues. After a three-week break, THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW returned with new episodes on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at 10:30pm ET/PT on Comedy Central.

On Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 10:30pm ET/PT, Comedy Central premiered the third season of THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW. The new season focuses on diversity and culture from across the globe, as Jim takes viewers to multiple countries for segments that highlight unique and thought-provoking international experiences, like immigration, gambling and racism. Not content to leave the investigating to a team of correspondents, Jim is one of the few late-night hosts who sends himself around the globe to learn more about the world we live in. No other host travels so far or so frequently, to explore such a wide range of topics. This year, Jim visits Hong Kong to find out if shark fins really give you sexual powers; fakes his own funeral with some South Koreans; spends a night with the "ladyboys" of Thailand; learns why millennials in Japan are too scared to date each other; strains diplomatic relations with North Korea at the DMZ; goes on an African safari with a team of badass female rangers; and finds out why his jokes could land him in jail in Singapore. After a four-month break, THE JIM JEFFERIES SHOW returned with new episodes on Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 10:30pm ET/PT on Comedy Central. In the second half of Season 3, the Australian late-night host will take viewers to places around the world, including Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and South Africa. Jefferies explores social credit scores in Hong Kong that utilize very unsettling facial recognition technology, racist products in Australia, population decline in Japan because socially awkward millennials aren't having sex, traditional healers in South Africa, and more. Previous global destinations have included South Korea, Thailand, Australia, Africa, and throughout the United States.
