July 14 (UPI) -- Comedy Central has announced that "The Daily Show" will go dark Monday. and the rest of the week's shows will be taped in New York instead of Wisconsin ,where the Republican National Convention will he held.
The original plan was to tape the Jon Stewart-fronted show in Milwaukee from Monday to Wednesday, and then broadcast a live episode Thursday.
The plan changed, however, after an assassination attempt sent Republican nominee Donald Trump to the hospital with a bullet wound to the ear Saturday.
One spectator was also killed, while two others were critically injured.
Secret Service agents shot and killed the sniper.
