Jordan Klepper interviewed a man at a vigil for jailed Jan. 6 insurrectionists who said he had to recover from his Stop the Steal obsession. (Watch the video below.)

In a web exclusive shared by The Daily Show on Wednesday, the guy said he was completely consumed by the rallies, sleeping in his car for three months to attend them.

To confirm the mans apparent change of heart on former President Donald Trump s lie about his election defeat, Klepper asked him: Do you still believe the election was stolen?

It was to be the big payoff, the light bulb of reason going on for a reformed conspiracy theorist.

Said the man: My response is I dont think the election was stolen ... I know the election was stolen.

A disappointed Klepper bowed his head in frustration. I thought this was gonna have a good ending, he said.

What the man said next didnt make it any better:
