Buckeye State becomes comedy battleground
The mid-term elections will be previewed from Columbus as part of Comedy Central's "Indecision 2006" coverage.
Comedy Central announced today that it will present "Battlefield Ohio: The Daily Show's Midwest Midterm Midtacular" from Ohio State University's Roy Bowen Theatre.
The show premiers at 11 p.m. Monday Oct. 30 through Thursday Nov. 2.
"Host Jon Stewart will be joined by his team of award-seeking commentators and correspondents as they seek to answer the age-old question: Just what the hell is a buckeye?" according to today's news release.
Stewart will be covering (or mocking?) the Nov. 7 elections live from New York City.
This marks the fifth time the series has made a road trip but the first to Ohio. It previously taped shows in Philadelphia and Los Angeles (2000), Washington, D.C. (2002) and Boston (2004).
"Midwest Midterm Midtacular" election coverage episodes will feature in-studio interviews and surprise guest appearances by top-level politicians and newsmakers.
For tickets to any of the four broadcasts at Ohio State University, viewers can send requests to osutickets@thedailyshow.com
