Chicago-Based ‘The Daily Show’ Fans Welcome Their Favorite Show to the Windy City — and in at Least One Case, Hope to Shake Out an Extra Ticket


At least one 'The Daily Show' fan showed up early Monday morning at Chicago's Athenaeum Center, holding a sign and hoping for a tough-to-get ticket.

The venue, located in the Windy City’s Lakeview neighborhood, is the homebase this week for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” in town to cover the Democratic National Convention. Unlike Friedman, he had secured a pair of tickets to Monday’s taping, which will be hosted by “The Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta and feature Michigan Gov. “I’m excited to see Jon Stewart live, and it’s great to go to ‘The Daily Show’ when there is such a big event like the Democratic National Convention here,” Corns continued.
