CNN Launches A Comedy News Show

You know the Colbert Report, and how it's really successful? And how other forms of news are less popular and some are dying? CNN noticed that too! So their Headline News channel will soon be airing Not Just Another Cable News Show, a weekly program with a light take on hard news using memorable gaffes from the past week. Time.com Washington editor Ana Marie Cox, of Wonkette fame, and noted Canadian/Huffington Post contributor Rachel Sklar will be commenters. The show, whose concept is stolen from the first segment of the Daily Show and whose title is stolen from the Wayans brothers, begins April 5.

Maybe CNN can hire Jim Ward to do his impression of Wolf Blitzer. What is it Jim says is Blitzer's diet -- something or other and dry wall. Very funny.

Common CNN. Nothing original? How about asking LLLLLLLLLLLiberals?!

from wikipedia

Even today, the phrase "Eddie Haskell" is known to refer to an insincere brown-noser.

He was known for his neat grooming<2>—hiding his shallow and sneaky character. Typically, Eddie would greet his friends' parents with overdone, good manners and often a compliment such as, "That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver." However, when no parents were around, Eddie was always up to no good—either conniving with his friends, or picking on Wally's younger brother Beaver. Eddie's two-faced style was also typified by his efforts to curry favor by trying to talk to adults at the level he thought they would respect, such as referring to their children as Theodore (Beaver's much-disliked given name) and Wallace, even though the parents called them Beaver and Wally.

A weaselly wise guy, Eddie could be relied upon to connive and instigate schemes with his friends—schemes for which they would be in the position of blame, if (and usually when) caught. One of his most infamous pranks with the Cleaver boys involved fastening a chain around the rear axle of their friend Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford's car, causing unplanned damage as the entire third member and wheels became detached when he tried to move the car. The prank has been repeated on police cars in scenes in the films American Graffiti and Gone in 60 Seconds.

Played by actress Alison Arngrim, Nellie Oleson was a manipulative, witty, sharp-tongued character on the NBC television show, Little House on the Prairie. Her parents, Nels and Harriet Oleson, owned the mercantile in the small town of Walnut Grove, set in post-Civil War Minnesota. Nellie had long blond hair, acted very prissy and spoiled, and had a vicious and manipulative personality. Her counterpart and nemesis was the tomboy Laura Ingalls, played by Melissa Gilbert. Nellie and Laura feuded during their school years together.

Wow! Hats off to you SoCalDem! You're great!

which in turn was stolen from the old BBC comedy show "Not the 9 O'clock News"



Is there no originality any more?

there's nothing new under the sun

and good artists borrow.

GREAT artists steal!

That show was great

Rowan Atkinson (known by most now as Mr. Bean) was in both, though.

Blackadder was certainly a great show though. Not the 9 O'clock News was more like the newscast parodies of Monty Python. Blackadder was something completely different.

I know who Rowan Atkinson
any excuse to play a Blackadder clip

I read that, and when I saw the name Rachel Sklar, my first thought was "I wonder if she's any relation to Leland."

Famous bass player. Well, famous among musicians, anyway. Look him up on Wikipedia.

Not Necessarily The News

Answer: They won't.

But in this case, the aforementioned show not REQUIRED to succeed at the orders of their Corporate Masters, will probably therefore be allowed to fail.

with Tucker Carlson and Bill Press?

Their Pubs Minds are largely UNABLE to be CLEVER...they gatta be a fucking Libreal to accomp that....Bwahahahah

Sorry, if the Pubs do this...its fish outta the water...They will fail only because The TRUTH PREVENTS them from success....

Bwahaha..............

Come, we go :toast:
