Entertainment | July 14, 2024, 7:34 p.m.
The Daily Show has decided to cancel its plans to cover the Republican National Convention on location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, due to logistical issues and the evolving situation in the city following an incident involving presumptive nominee Donald Trump being injured by gunfire at a campaign rally. The show announced that they will reschedule their Milwaukee tapings and will instead air episodes recorded in New York City. Host Jon Stewart is still scheduled to host Thursday night's episode, coinciding with the closing night of the RNC. Trump, on the other hand, has announced on Truth Social that he will still be heading to Milwaukee as planned despite the recent events. Further details have been requested from Comedy Central regarding the show's future plans.
