The Daily Show has made a last-minute change to its schedule, scrapping its planned broadcast from Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention. This decision comes in the wake of yesterdays attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, which has caused logistical challenges and an evolving situation on the ground.
Host Jon Stewart will instead present the show from its regular New York City base starting Tuesday. The show’s social media accounts shared an update, apologizing for any inconvenience and explaining the need to reschedule their Wisconsin events.
The Daily Show’s decision to cancel its Milwaukee broadcast reflects the serious nature of the incident and the subsequent impact on the convention’s proceedings.
