In the season 2016 episode 101 of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, titled DNC2016 - Let's Not Get Crazy Night Four - Can We Please Just Vote Now?, Trevor Noah and his team provide a satirical and comedic commentary on the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) leading up to the presidential election.

In this episode, Trevor and his correspondents focus on the speeches and events of the night, which took place on July 28th, 2016 in Philadelphia. The main event of the night was Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech as the Democratic nominee for president, which was highly anticipated after a week of speeches from prominent Democrats such as Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton.

Trevor starts the show by addressing the mood of the DNC on its final night, describing it as a mix between a "Donald Trump roast" and a "Hillary Clinton infomercial." He then goes on to critique the speeches from the fourth night, including those from politicians like New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and former presidential candidate Martin O'Malley.

The correspondents of The Daily Show also get involved in the episode, with Hasan Minhaj reporting from the convention floor and Jordan Klepper covering a protest outside the venue. Minhaj interviews Bernie Sanders supporters who are disappointed with the outcome of the primary race and skeptical of Clinton's record, while Klepper talks to protesters who are unhappy with the Democratic Party's establishment and their perceived lack of support for progressive causes.

Throughout the episode, Trevor and his team continue to poke fun at the various speeches and events of the DNC, but also acknowledge the historic nature of Clinton's nomination as the first female presidential nominee from a major party. They also comment on the role of media and social media in the election, with a segment focused on the controversy surrounding Melania Trump's plagiarized speech from the Republican National Convention.

Ultimately, the episode serves as a humorous but critical assessment of the DNC on its final night and the state of the presidential race in 2016. While The Daily Show is known for its sarcastic and often irreverent approach to news and politics, Trevor and his team also provide insightful and nuanced commentary on the issues and events shaping American society today.
