Here’s a look at the celebrities viewers can expect to see as hosts during the convention.
What is the role of the hosts at the DNC?
Each night on the DNC, a celebrity will host one night of the convention and will kick off the broadcast with an opening statement, and then will come back onstage during the evening to guide the programming, according to CNN.
Who are the hosts of the DNC?
The DNC will have celebrity hosts every night during the convention in Chicago. Tony Goldwyn will take the stage on Monday night, and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro hosts Tuesday. Mindy Kaling hosts Wednesday, and finally Kerry Washington will take the stage on Thursday. Here’s a look at each of the stars hosting the DNC this week.
Actor Tony Goldwyn to host DNC on Monday
“Scandal” star Tony Goldwyn will take the lead on Monday hosting the DNC in Chicago. He currently stars as Manhattan district attorney Nicholas Baxter on “Law & Order” and is an ambassador for The Innocence Project.
In 2016, he directed a commercial lending support to the Clinton campaign featuring stars from the ShondaLand extended universe, including Ellen Pompeo, Viola Davis and Shonda Rhimes.
“The View” co-host Ana Navarro to host DNC on Tuesday
On Tuesday, “The View” co-host Ana Navarro will take the stage to host the DNC. Navarro is a political strategist and commentator, and a noted Republican, though she has been a vocal critic of Trump, calling him a racist for his comments about immigrants. The “Never Trumper” has also criticized politicians with ties to Trump, such as Ron DeSantis, and said she voted for Hilary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
“For me to stand on that stage and help my girl Kamala make history and become the Democratic nominee, it’s just such a mind-blowing moment.,” said Navarro on X. “I hope you will be part of this celebration of democracy,” she added.
‘The Office’ star Mindy Kaling to host DNC on Wednesday
“The Office” and “The Mindy Project” star Mindy Kaling will host the DNC on Wednesday. Kaling co-chaired a fundraiser event with Reese Witherspoon, hosted by Harris for Biden’s campaign in 2020. In 2019, she appeared on Harris’ YouTube channel where the pair cooked masala dosa together.
‘Scandal’ star Kerry Washington to host DNC on Thursday
“Scandal” star Kerry Washington will host the DNC on Thursday. Washington is no stranger to political engagement. When Democratic nominee Kamala Harris announced her campaign, Washington said on X that Harris “can and will win this,” adding, “I believe in her and I believe in us. Let’s gooooooooooooo!”
Washington was a vocal supporter of Barack Obama’s campaign in 2012, speaking at that year’s convention, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Washington has also played host before at the virtual DNC in 2020, after campaigning for Joe Biden with her husband Nnamdi Asomugha that year.
The actress has also used her “Scandal” fame to push for voter registration. In 2020, Washington posted a three-second clip to X, formerly Twitter, of her character Olivia Pope sharing a passionate kiss with President Fitz (Goldwyn) and captioned it “SCANDAL THE MOVIE. Click the link for more info.” The link did not have any more info but rather led to a voter registration website

A 26-year-old man had an argument with a co-worker before allegedly fatally shooting the colleague in Washington Heights, prosecutors said Friday.
Bobby Martin, who was charged with first-degree murder Thursday, made his first appearance Friday in Cook County court.
Martin, is accused of killing his co-worker, Antoine Alexander, 32, in a parking lot at 9411 S Ashland Ave about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Chicago police.
Prosecutors said Martin and Alexander worked together at an armed security company and got into a verbal altercation inside the guard shack on Tuesday afternoon. During the altercation, prosecutors said Alexander removed his bullet proof vest and threw it to the ground. A witness, another co-worker, then told the defendant and the victim to take the altercation outside.
After stepping outside, the defendant pulled his firearm and fired one shot into the victims abdomen, prosecutors said. The victim’s firearm was holstered at the time of the argument and the shooting. The defendant fled the scene and came into contact with another co-worker, whom he told that he had just shot Alexander.
Alexander was then taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
Martin was arrested by authorities three blocks from his home approximately 20 minutes after the shooting, prosecutors said.
Martin was detained and will appear in court again on March 17, authorities said.

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury has announced that she and her husband Matt are expecting a baby in July.
The couple made the announcement in a video on the Spirit’s social media channels, holding a baby goalkeeper jersey on the pitch at Audi Field.
Kingsbury becomes the most recent Spirit star to go on maternity leave, following defender Casey Krueger, midfielder Andi Sullivan and forward Ashley Hatch.
Sullivan gave birth to daughter Millie in July, while Hatch welcomed her son Leo in January.
Krueger announced she was pregnant with her second child in October.
Kingsbury has served as the Spirit’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, and has been named the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2019 and 2021).
The 34-year-old has two caps with the U.S. women’s national team, and was named to the 2023 World Cup roster.
The club captain will leave a major void for the Spirit, who have finished as NWSL runner-up in back-to-back seasons.
Sandy MacIver and Kaylie Collins are expected to compete for the starting role while Kingsbury is on maternity leave.
The Spirit kick off their 2026 campaign on March 13 against the Portland Thorns.
YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima could soon take a major step toward redesigning Sixth Avenue after the Washington State Public Works Board awarded the city a $985,600 loan.
The loan was approved for the design engineering phase of the Sixth Avenue project. The funding can also be used along Sixth Avenue for utility replacement and updated ADA use.
The Yakima City Council must decide whether to accept the award. If the council accepts it, the city’s engineering work will move forward with the design of Sixth Avenue.
The cost of installing trolley lines is excluded from the plan. The historic trolleys would need to raise the funds required to add trolley lines.
The award is scheduled to be discussed during next week’s City Council meeting.
