“The Daily Show” has opened up ticketing for its August visit to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention.
Would-be audience members can go to 1iota.com and request one or two tickets for any or all of the four episodes that will be taped here Aug. 19-22.
The episode on Aug. 22, the convention’s closing night, will be live and anchored by the show’s recently returned host, Jon Stewart. Other “Daily Show” stars will anchor the three earlier episodes, which will be taped in the late afternoon before the night’s broadcast.
“The Daily Show” will tape at the Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture, 2936 N. Southport Ave., also the show’s home base during its last Chicago stint with then-host Trevor Noah in 2017.
Ticket applicants sign up for a space in a queue and may or may not be awarded tickets. The site warns that the venue will be overbooked and “a ticket may not guarantee admittance.”
Also coming to town that week will be “Daily Show” alum Stephen Colbert, whose “Late Show” on CBS will set up shop at the Auditorium Theatre during DNC week.
