Following the news that they’ll be taping in Charlotte, NC for this year’s Democratic National Convention, The Daily Show has just announced that they’ll also be heading to Tampa for August’s Republican National Convention.

“We are incredibly excited to spend a week in the beautiful city of Tampa,” said Rory Albanese, Executive Producer, ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.’ “We look forward to enjoying the beaches and the exciting nightlife, plus we assume this counts as a visit to our grandparents.”

Since our 50-day Countdown to Futurama began last week, we’ve seen a lot of cool junk from the first episode of the one-hour season premiere, “The Bots and the Bees,” but today we get our very first glimpse of the second episode, “A Farewell to Arms.”

But you'd have been right.

These sketches come from Futurama's season premiere, "The Bots and the Bees," which airs Wednesday, June 20 at 10/9c. In case you missed it, you can see Bender and his bastard son Ben in a clip from the episode right here.
