MANCHESTER, NH, February 4, 2016 -- This week, the most important debates about our country’s future will happen in New Hampshire -- Hillary vs. Bernie, Cruz vs. The Republican Field and most critically, “The Daily Show” vs. the system. Just days before the nation’s first presidential primary
“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” will travel to New Hampshire as part of its ongoing coverage of
“Democalypse 2016” to present “Podium Pandemonium: A Debate About Debates,” an off-air event moderated by “Daily Show” host, Trevor Noah. The debate will be held in Manchester, NH on Friday,
February 5 at 8:00 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom at the Radisson Hotel.
Said Noah of this crucial debate: “Debating debates is an important debate to have at this critical moment in the future of debates. I will debate debates anywhere, anytime as long as it's Friday night in
New Hampshire. Of course, I might skip the debate, but probably won’t. This debate is too important to
America’s future debates to not show up.”
Moderated by Noah, “Podium Pandemonium: A Debate About Debates” is a satirical exploration of the presidential candidate debates. Do debates even matter? Is there really ever a “winner”? Why do the attacks and talking points always seem so familiar? Debate participants addressing these topics include Howard Dean, former Governor of Vermont, former Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee and 2008 presidential candidate; Michael Steele, former Chairman of the Republican National
Committee; Donna Brazile, Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee; Ryan Lizza,
Washington Correspondent, The New Yorker; and Alicia Menendez, Anchor, Fusion who recently moderated the network’s Brown & Black Forum. Also on hand will be members of “The Best F#@king
News Team,” “Daily Show” correspondents Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Hasan Minhaj,
Jessica Williams and Roy Wood Jr.
