On last night's episode of Comedy Central's "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore," the second installment of "2 Chainz Explainz" aired and this time the topic was a brokered convention. Watch the video!
2 CHAINZ explains, "A brokered convention goes down when no single candidate has the 1,237 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination. Now, if this happens, the convention goes HAM. They release all the delegates and they make you vote again. They don't care who you voted for the first time around. Now that's gangster right there. If the delegates vote again and no one gets that top spot, they just keep voting and voting and voting until they reach 1,237 delegates. Even though a brokered convention hasn't happened in 64 years, if it ever happens, it's going to be a hot mess. In 1924, delegates at the Democratic convention had to vote 103 times before they picked the nominee. 103 times! Ain't nobody got time for that! So, you know me, I got a thug life, one wife, a mistress and a girlfriend."

NIGHTLY SHOW WITH LARRY WILMORE: Continuing in Comedy Central's grand tradition of producing groundbreaking late night formats,

"The Nightly Show" (twitter: @NightlyShow) will provide viewers with Larry Wilmore's distinct point of view and comedic take on current events and pop culture from a perspective largely missing in the late-night television landscape. Hosted by Wilmore, the series will feature a diverse panel of minority voices currently underrepresented in comedy and television.
