“The Daily Show will not broadcast Monday (tomorrow) but we’ll be back up Tuesday through Thursday from our NYC studio,” the announcement read.
The statement continued, “Our apologies for the inconvenience, but due to logistical issues and the evolving situation in Milwaukee, we need to reschedule our events on the ground in Wisconsin and will look to make those up in the coming weeks.”
Marcus Performing Arts Center CEO Kevin Giglinto released a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel saying, “In light of the incredibly shocking and sad events that took place yesterday in Pennsylvania, ‘The Daily Show’ will not broadcast from the Marcus Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention, July 15-18.”
Giglinto added, “While we were looking forward to hosting The Daily Show, we support and stand by their decision. … We apologize for this unexpected change, and we thank you for your understanding.”
Trump has already arrived in Wisconsin, saying he would not let the shooter change his schedule.
