‘The Daily Show’: Jon Stewart On “Terrible F***ing Week” & Why RNC Plans Were Canceled: “You Really Don’t Want To Be In The Hard Perimeter”


Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show after the Comedy Central show scrapped plans to broadcast from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee following the Donald Trump assassination attempt.

“Hey Jon, come back to The Daily Show just for the election, it’ll be fun,” he joked. Stewart acknowledged that the show was supposed to be broadcasting from Milwaukee to cover the RNC “but because of the attempt on the former president’s life, the venue in which we planned to do the show, which was originally located in the soft perimeter was shifted (understandably so), to the hard permiter.” In addition, Stewart gave “the biggest slice of praise” to the production team and crew for reshuffling after the scrapped plans for the RNC shows.
