The Daily Show will tape a week’s worth of episodes in Ferguson Hall at the David A Straz Jr. Center in Tampa during the Republican National Convention in August.
The shows will air on Comedy Central at 11 p.m. from Tuesday Aug. 28 to Friday Aug. 31.
The shows are expected to feature reports from the convention floor at the Tampa Bay Times Forum by the show’s news team, including Tampa-raised correspondent Aasif Mandvi, along with Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones, Al Madrigal, John Oliver and Jessica Williams.
The Straz Center is located blocks from the convention hall at 1010 North W.C. MacInnes Place in downtown Tampa. The show will also spend a week at the Democratic National Convention in September in Charlotte, N.C.
“We look forward to enjoying the beaches and the exciting nightlife,” said Daily Show executive producer Rory Albanese in a statement about visiting the Tampa Bay area. “Plus we assume this counts as a visit to our grandparents.”
