“The Daily Show” is coming to Chicago, as well as Milwaukee, for on-location tapings during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
The show will have full weeks of broadcasts from the RNC in Milwaukee (July 15-18) and the DNC in Chicago (Aug. 19-22), respectively, airing 10 p.m. weeknights on Comedy Central.
Beyond that, details of the on-the-road coverage plans, titled “Indecision 2024,” were few in Monday’s announcement. Jon Stewart recently re-joined “The Daily Show” as Monday host but his appearances during the conventions were not confirmed. Venue and audience ticket information will be supplied at a later date.
The announcement followed recent news that Stephen Colbert will bring his “Late Show” on CBS to Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre during the DNC (and will also broadcast live from New York during the RNC). Audience tickets for those shows are also still to come; more at auditoriumtheatre.org.
