The Daily Show With Jon Stewart is loadin' up the truck and moving to Charlotte. North Carolina, that is. For a week.

The Comedy Central show is taking 125 staffers to cover its fourth Democratic National Convention and broadcasting a week of shows. The Daily Show's coverage of the 2012 DNC will be taped at ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center and air nightly at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT from Sept. 4 through Sept. 7.

"We are incredibly excited to spend a week in the beautiful city of Charlotte," said Rory Albanese, Daily Show exec producer, in a release. "And to the good people of North Carolina, for their southern hospitality in hosting 125 smart-aleck New Yorkers, we offer in advance our thanks, but most of all, our apologies. Honestly, we didn't mean to break that, and we promise we'll pay for it."
