Comedy Central’s The Daily Show has cancelled plans to film at the Republican National Convention after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The far-left satire news show had already sold out multiple nights at the 1,500-person capacity Marcus Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee, where they planned to film before a live audience.
The Daily Show announced the cancellation in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
