Comedy Central’s The Daily Show had planned to broadcast four episodes from the Marcus Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee during the week of the Republican National Convention, July 15-18. But on Sunday, the show announced that those Milwaukee shows have been canceled. They may be rescheduled “in the coming weeks.”
“The Daily Show will not broadcast Monday (tomorrow) but we’ll be back up Tuesday through Thursday from our NYC studio,” a social media post reads. “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.”

UPDATE: On Sunday evening, the Marcus Performing Arts Center posted this message to social media:
