Fox News Channel preps right-leaning satire: "By Paul J. Gough
Nov 20, 2006
Fox News Channel might air two episodes of a 'Daily Show'-like program with a decidedly nonliberal bent on Saturday nights in late January, with the possibility that it could become a weekly show for the channel.
The half-hour show is executive produced by '24's' Joel Surnow and Manny Cota and creator Ned Rice, who previously wrote for 'Politically Incorrect' and 'Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson' through This Just In Prods. It would take aim at what Surnow calls 'the sacred cows of the left' that don't get made as much fun of by other comedy shows.
'It's a satirical news format that would play more to the Fox News audience than the Michael Moore channel,' Surnow said. 'It would tip more right as 'The Daily Show' tips left...'"
That sounds as funny as a punch bowl full of dead puppies. Great. Can't wait to see the comedic side of torture, Iraq, and global warming. Lemme guess, 30 minutes of John Kerry botching jokes, Ted Kennedy and bridges, and the physical comedy of Michael J. Fox.
Maybe I can wait.
