Tonight in Denver, Barack Obama will make history by becoming the first man in over three and a half years to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for President. Here is everything you need to know about tonight.
•The speech will take place at the 75,000 seat INVESCO Field at Mile High, where the Seahawks are 1-0 all time, beating the Broncos 23-20 in 2006.
•The speech should start sometime between 6:45 and 7:00 p.m. (ish).
•Tonight’s theme is "Change You Can Believe In," narrowly beating out "Pajama Day."

•The Daily Show isn't back to the stratospheric level it was at when Ed Helms, Rob "Come On" Corddry, Steve Carell, and Stephen Colbert were the correspondents. However, after a few years lost in the woods, it's once again pretty funny. Their DNC coverage is titled "Look Who’s Coming to Denver." We gave the pun an initial half smile, however, thirty seconds later when we actually got the joke, we laughed out loud.
