Comedy Central's late night news satire

"The Daily Show"

will begin airing a multi-part series about Alabama tonight.

The show sent all four correspondents (including Birmingham native Roy Wood Jr.) and two crews to several cities this week to film multiple segments about Alabama history, politics, culture and more.

The series is called

"Alabama Week."

The New York City-based show, which airs Monday through Thursday, learned shortly after the 2016 presidential election that it was least popular in Alabama, according to

in the U.S.

"'The Daily Show,' Comedy Central's news satire and talk show, typically has a politically liberal point of view," the article states. "It's most popular in cities and other more liberal-leaning areas along the coasts. Peak popularity is in San Francisco; it's least popular in Alabama." (For what it's worth, the show on the NYT list that was most popular in Alabama: "Criminal Minds.")

That inspired them to launch a trip to the South to meet as many people as they could and learn about the culture, and perhaps why they don't watch the show.

The show visited Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery Selma and Tuscaloosa, the latter shoot involving Paul Finebaum and four of his more popular callers, as well as correspondent Jordan Klepper.

Shortly before the show sent crews down, Alabama Rep. Patricia Todd

she was contacted by "The Daily Show" and would do an interview with them that week. "They conducted a national poll and found that the show is the least popular in Alabama, so they are coming to find out why," she wrote.

They also shot in smaller counties outside the state's larger cities. Following their Tuscaloosa shoot, they traveled to a nearby area to ride with local bikers.

The segments will air on Comedy Central starting tonight. "The Daily Show," hosted by Trevor Noah, airs at 10 p.m. central Monday through Thursday, on Comedy Central.

The network shared a press release Monday afternoon stating the following: "'Alabama Week' will feature nightly segments shot on location in cities and towns across the state including Selma, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville, Mobile and Montgomery covering topics including history religion, politics and the great outdoors. Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, Hasan Minhaj and Alabama-native Roy Wood Jr. report."

Popular Finebaum show caller Phyllis Perkins (aka "Phyllis from Mulga") participated and discussed the experience with Finebaum during his show. Phyllis said Klepper's comments poking fun at Alabama history and culture frustrated her.

"I was really angry yesterday," Phyllis said, in reference to Klepper's questioning and jokes about her home state, during Finebaum's radio show the day after the shoot. "It was just little punches he was making at people in Alabama."

"That's the reason I got all over his butt, because how dare him?" she said.

"I don't think he ran over you," Finebaum replied. "I think you showed The Daily Show on Comedy Central the way things really are."

He then asked Phyllis how concerned she is that she'll turn on the program in a few weeks to find she and others are butt of jokes all over the country.

"As long as I took up for my state, my beloved college and our beloved coach, and all that Alabama stands for, I don't care what those idiotic people -- ignorant people -- say about me," she said. "They know what they can do. They can stick it!"

The show also

to talk to protestors and supporters at Rep. Gary Palmer's Congressional town hall in Hoover.
