"The Daily Show" is making some changes to its upcoming coverage of the Republican National Convention.
The Comedy Central talk show revealed it will be scrapping its on-the-ground reporting on the RNC, part of its "Indecision 2024" coverage, in a post on its social media pages Sunday.
"The Daily Show" was originally set to broadcast directly from the RNC in Milwaukee from July 15-18, according to Deadline and Variety. Host Jon Stewart was expected to host a live show following the convention's conclusion on Thursday.
"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," the post read.

The satirical news program will not air on Monday but will resume production in its New York City studio Tuesday through Thursday.
The programming change follows an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. Trump is poised to become the presidential nominee for the Republican party and is scheduled to appear at the RNC on Monday.
Donald Trump injured at campaign rally after shooting attack
Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret Service during a Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after loud popping sounds rang out.
The former president later revealed on social media that he was "shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear." He was treated at a local hospital and subsequently released.
"I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. "Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening."

A day after the shooting, Trump traveled to Milwaukee on Sunday for the RNC. He said on Truth Social that he initially planned to delay the Wisconsin trip for two days because of the attack.
"(I) just decided that I cannot allow a 'shooter,' or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else," Trump wrote.
The gunman who injured Trump, identified by the FBI as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene on Saturday.
