New York and Los Angeles usually corner the market when it comes to TV audience opportunities, but late-night fans in Wisconsin have a rare opportunity to catch a taping this summer.
The Daily Show is seeking audiences for their “Indecision 2024” broadcasts from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this July.
The full week of shows coincides with the dates of the RNC: Monday, July 15 through Thursday, July 18. It remains unclear if Monday-night host Jon Stewart will host any of the episodes.
As we’ve previously reported, The Daily Show is set to take “The Best F*cking News Team on Television” on the road twice this summer, with the show visiting Chicago for the Democratic National Convention in August. (Stephen Colbert will also take The Late Show to Chicago for the DNC.)
While TDS has made a tradition of visiting the conventions during election years, these tapings mark the show’s first time on site since 2016. In 2020, the late-night shows were broadcasting remotely amid the pandemic lockdown and the conventions themselves were scaled down — forcing The Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah to cover events from afar.
Tickets for The Daily Show’s Indecision 2024 tapings from Milwaukee are available to request now through 1iota. The Mon-Weds shows will be taped in the afternoon, while Thursday night’s show has a scheduled start time of 9pm, which may be an indication that the show plans to air live that night. (If tradition holds, that’s the night Donald Trump will speak at the convention.)
