CNN exec says tonight's drive-in town hall with Joe Biden is 'going to be like American Graffiti' (so, a comedy then?)

Perhaps because they were aware that the enthusiasm was off the charts for recent pro-Biden car parades, CNN thought it might be helpful to the Democrats to keep with the car theme:

Will any of the cars have a windshield that doubles as a teleprompter for Joe’s convenience?

From Variety:

CNN is planning a town-hall event with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tonight that is so complex and ornate viewers may mistake it for something entirely different.

“It’s going to be like ‘American Graffiti,” says Mark Preston, CNN’s vice president of political and special event programming, in an interview.
