The Daily Show with Trevor Noah season 2016 episode 96 titled RNC2016 - Submission Accomplished Night Four - The Party's Over features a comedic analysis of the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention (RNC) held in Cleveland, Ohio in July 2016.

The episode begins with an animated intro highlighting key moments from the RNC, including speeches from notable Republicans such as Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence. Noah then takes the stage, clad in a suit and sporting his signature youthful humor and wit.

Noah starts the show by focusing on Trump's acceptance speech, which he deems as the longest and "darkiest" (referring to its gloomy rhetoric) speech he's ever heard. He calls out Trump for his fear-mongering tactics and his overall portrayal of the state of the country, contrasting it with the reality that America is still the most prosperous and powerful country in the world.

Noah also delves into topics such as the lack of diversity at the RNC, pointing out that there were barely any people of color in attendance, and poking fun at the convention's use of "white noise" to drown out minority voices. He compares the RNC to Wakanda, a fictional African kingdom from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is known for its exclusivity and reluctance to let outsiders in.

Throughout the episode, Noah interviews various correspondents on the ground at the RNC, including Desi Lydic and Jordan Klepper. They provide a behind-the-scenes look at the convention, exposing its flaws and hypocrisies in a comedic and irreverent manner.

In one segment, Lydic interviews a Trump supporter who is wearing a denim shirt emblazoned with the words "Make America Great Again" along with a Confederate flag patch. She points out the contradiction in his choice of attire, given that the flag represents a time in American history when many people were not equal. The segment showcases the confrontational and unapologetic humor that is characteristic of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

In another segment, Klepper interviews attendees at a nearby bar, who are watching the RNC speeches on TV. He teases them for their unwavering support of Trump and their blind faith in his policies, even when they don't fully understand them. The segment provides a lighthearted perspective on the RNC and its attendees, highlighting the absurdity of their beliefs to a nationwide audience.

Overall, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah season 2016 episode 96 is an insightful and comedic analysis of the final night of the Republican National Convention. Noah's irreverent humor and sharp wit combined with the show's correspondents' on-the-ground reporting provide a unique perspective on the convention, and showcase the show's ability to blend politics and humor in a way that is both informative and entertaining.
