‘The Daily Show’ Sets Guests, Host Lineup for Democratic Convention (Exclusive)

As a seasoned gamer of political satire, I must say that the lineup for The Daily Show during the Democratic National Convention is nothing short of exhilarating! Having followed their journey since the turn of the millennium, it’s like revisiting an old friend who’s come home after a long hiatus.

This venue is a few miles north of the United Center where the main activities are taking place. Here’s a picture showing the set-up, with the iconic Chicago skyline as a backdrop.
