You know what,
it has been a tough week.
There's a lot of anger and shouting recently,
some of it within the-the last 30 seconds, to be honest.
So I felt that this would be a great time for a segment
that highlights some feel-good stories
about the real people out in real America.
It's a brilliant idea that I just had
and small-town stations have been stealing from me for years.
It's time to take a look at some of the week's best videos
in our segment called Hey, Watch This.
We get to meet some more of Eric's Heroes.
REPORTER: It's time for Cool People Doing Cool Things.
REPORTER 2: 7 Everyday Heroes.
For Goodness' Sake, I'm Bill Anderson.
(chuckles): Oh.
For goodness' sake, I'm Jordan Klepper.
And unlike local news,
I
You know what, let's take the focus off of me
and put it on the everyman doing good
in my long-running,
first-time segment, Jordan's Heroes.

Um, first up,
a man who loves the great outdoors
almost as much as he loves helping those in need.
Which is a lot, if that wasn't clear.
A man is traveling across the country to spread goodwill,
and his only tool is a lawn mower.
Rodney Smith Jr.'s known as Lawnmower Man.
He says the idea came from a chance encounter
he had one day with an elderly man.
He looked like he was struggling, so I pulled over
and helped him out. That night, I decided
to mow free lawns for the elderly,
disabled, single mothers, and veterans.
McBROOM:
to mow laws for those in need.
Wow, inspiring story,
mowing lawns for the needy in all 50 states.
Your neighbors must love you.
Heck, the whole country is gonna be your neighbor soon.
Everyone's friend, that's you, Rodney.
Everybody loves Rodney.
Rodney, must feel pretty good about yourself.
Pretty... good.
Hey, Rodney...
You think you're better than me?
Is that what you think, Rodney?
I can mow lawns in all 50 states.
I'm handy, I'm good with tools.
I built a birdhouse in fifth grade,
a good one, the bird is still in it.
I can buy a lawn mower.
I can definitely buy one, and find one,
and identify one in a hardware store,
then I can buy it in a heartbeat.
How much could it be? I don't know.
$30,000, probably, could be.
Plus, I can go to any state I want,
as long as it's not both Dakotas or one of the Virginias.
They know what they did.
Screw you, Rodney.
You're not better than me.
This next story is sure to make you smile.
And maybe also a bit hungry.
A fast food worker in Chesterfield County
is receiving a lot of praise after this video went viral.
You can see him-- Run, Forrest, run--
chasing down a customer who forgot part of her order.
The dedicated worker successfully got
the customer's second bag of food to her
before jogging back and looking just a little bit tired.
Oh, well, you can't argue with that.
That's just a nice thing to do.
Glad a nice guy like that in the middle of the country
is getting that kind of attention.
He's probably feeling pretty good about--
You think you're better than me?
That's not a run, that's a shuffle at best.
I've sprinted out of Chick-fil-As
twice as fast as that, carrying way more bags
of morally-dubious fried chicken.
And how dare you abandon your post?
It's chaos back at that Chick-fil-A with you gone.
They're serving burritos and grilling pad Thai,
and not weighing in on what constitutes love anymore.
You're a monster.
How on Earth can you think you're better than me?
Up next...
Have you got a heart ticking in your chest?
Careful, this story is sure to melt it.
Superdaddy saved the big show.
Take a look.
Little Bella, hysterical,
crying on stage during her annual ballet recital.
Dad appears from the wings to try to calm her down.
MALE TV REPORTER: Ah, with the baby.
FEMALE TV REPORTER: While holding a baby,
-Yeah. -he joined the ballet line.
Look at the plié.
He's like, "I got this. I'm Superdad."
(bleep) you, Superdad!
You think you're better than me?
You think you're such a great dad
because your amazing moment of superdad-ness went viral
and your kids will love you forever and ever?
You think I can't go viral?
You think I can't dance with a baby?
Someone give me a baby.
Yes. There we go.
(cheering and applause)
And give me some music.
Some real Super Ballet-Dad shit.
-(sweet music plays) -Ah, yeah. See?
You are not better than me.
Shove this up your Facebook feed.
You know what? Puppy me. (bleep) it.
Yeah. Oh.
(cheering and applause)
Did you have a dog? Yeah?
Who's your Superdad now, bitch?
As a matter of fact, bring on the summer interns.
Ah, yeah. See, this is easy.
I could do this all day.
Dance with me, kids, dance with me.
Dance with me.
My kids love me, too.
No one's better than me.
I'm the Superdad.
