According to Johnson, she traveled from Toronto to New York City on election night to attend a taping of The Daily Show. Johnson had ordered her tickets seven months in advance and received conformation from the Daily Show staff that she would be attending the taping. Johnson waited in line with other ticket holders for several hours before being informed she would not be getting into the taping. Johnson claims only 21 ticket holders were allowed into the studio due to VIPs taking up seats. In a rant Johnson posted on The Huffington Post, she claims the experience left her "feeling completely emotionally empty."Huffington Post: Election Night At The Daily Show... (November 11, 2008)
