NEW YORK, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will travel to political hot bed, Washington, DC, to broadcast a week of shows as part of its ongoing "Indecision 2010" coverage of the fiercely contested midterm elections. "When Grizzlies Attack: The Daily Show Midterm Teapartyganza" will be taped at the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Sidney Harman Hall and air nightly at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT from Monday, October 25 through Thursday, October 28.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company's Sidney Harman Hall is located at 610 F Street NW. Tickets for the tapings will be available only through the show's Web site, www.thedailyshow.com, not through the venue's box office.

"When Grizzlies Attack: The Daily Show Midterm Teapartyganza" will feature news and analysis on heated races across the country from host Jon Stewart as well as reports from "The Daily Show" News Team (Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones, Aasif Mandvi and John Oliver).

(2002) and Columbus, OH (2006) for special, mid-term election coverage.
