Ultimate Guide to Securing Tickets for The Daily Show

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

Although Jon Stewart is no longer with The Daily Show, it lives on with a new host, Trevor Noah. This popular comedy-news show continues to air from Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. It is taped live before a studio audience and airs later that same evening, providing a unique opportunity for fans to potentially see themselves on television. One of the advantages of requesting tickets is the accessible online calendar that displays availability, allowing you to select the best date for your visit.

Getting Tickets

  • Online: Check The Daily Show ticket availability online for the possibility of same-day or next-day tickets.
  • Tickets are not available via phone or standby options.
