‘Daily Show’ Headed to Democratic Convention
By BILL CARTER

“The Daily Show” will maintain its tradition of emulating a real news program by traveling to North Carolina in September to cover the Democratic National Convention. Jon Stewart will take his program to Charlotte for a week of programs intended to comment on, and lampoon, the convention, which has provided an ample platform for the show’s satire in the past. This will be the fourth time “The Daily Show” has gone on location for shows about the political conventions. The shows will be produced at an area called ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center, starting Sept. 4. That is a Tuesday, and for that week only the show will tape on Tuesday through Friday instead of the usual Monday through Thursday schedule. As for the Republican convention, which is set for Tampa, Fla., starting on Aug. 27, “The Daily Show’ does plan to produce a week of shows from that site as well but has not yet settled on a location. It is expected to announce plans for that coverage soon.
