The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brought its “Indecision 2004” coverage of the Democratic National Convention to BU, broadcasting four shows from the Tsai Performance Center, from July 27 to 30. The Emmy Award–winning nightly news parody program, on the road for the first time in two years, brought in such guests as Senator Joseph Biden (D-Delaware) and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. The audience policy was first-come, first-served, and hundreds lined up on the Commonwealth Avenue sidewalk for each night’s 7 p.m. taping. All politicians were fair game for the 41-year-old Stewart, whose show has an audience of about a million viewers. This wasn’t the first TV show broadcast from the Tsai, known mostly for music and theater performances. It was the setting for a gubernatorial debate between Mitt Romney and Shannon O’Brien (LAW’85) two years ago, and a 1996 taping of Late Night with David Letterman. Photo by Vernon Doucette
