Looks like our wishes have been granted. It'll be interesting to see how "conservative leaning" humor plays...

Oh good, finally, something to watch on Saturday night.  I won't have channel surf trying to decide between the Comedy Channel and the Discovery Channel to find something moderately intelligent to watch.

I've been encouraging this kind of thing for years.  They need to branch into over-the-air broadcasting to compete against CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS.

They need a nightly news to go opposite the networks, a weekend show opposite 60 minutes, a late night show to counter nightline, a latenight comedy/variety talk show (with Dennis Miller?) to go against Lefto and Lefterman, and a bunch of other decent programming.

The audience is there....

Imagine real humor. As one who has turned off Dave... for many years, this is a genius idea. Sponsors!

ALso, FNC is boycotting the OJ interview.

Kerry: "You know, education, if you make the most of it ... you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

"Taped before a studio audience in Los Angeles"

How can you tape a show on that pokes fun at liberals in a town like LA without starting a riot that would make the "can't we all just get along" riots look like an out of control kindergarten class?  Fox will have to go to Utah to tape the show:  any state touching the Pacific would be too dangerous a place.

Second, you would have to provide a laugh track to let the LA audience know that it was joke: a flashing sign board would require the ability to read.

this has long been waited, even a little listing may-not create sea-sickness from the real facts, an can be aired without the perversion of fact , hopefully they can bring on mr zell miller, v. d. anderson or anyone else who can stand up to the butchers of truth, so "now" i'll be able to watch the tellie without head butting it and getting tazered by the "o'dorly orderly"... thank you ,to whom ever heard my crying

My idea for a great comedy show is to use the YouTube example as a guidepost. IOW, play short clips of no more than about 5 minutes each parodying whatever is happening in the news and media. One example would be when Katie Couric was interviewing the priest of Mark Foley and asking him about how he massaged Foley with his hands, etc.. I would have presented a parody where Katie goes beyond that and gets all excited as the priest goes into more detail. All the while Katie is getting hotter and hotter until she can't even do her broadcast because she is moaning in ecstasy at the images she is conjuring up while questioning the priest.  Suddenly she snaps out of it to give us the latest "news" about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Another great parody clip would be when Nancy Pelosi (made up like the Joker) announces that Steny Hoyer has been elected Majority Leader while Murtha is angrily standing in the background. Murtha is getting angrier and angrier until he can't stand it any more and wrestles Hoyer to the ground while yelling that they must now all learn to work together.

The incident where Chuck Schumer told Kerry to get lost in the Senate hallway would also be great for parody. Maybe have a hurt looking Kerry in the background scream "PLEASE!" and a somewhat chastened Schumer returns and tosses Kerry a towel in a way reminiscent to that old cola commercial where the football player tosses a kid his towel outside the locker room.

PlayStation 3. Show a video game version of John Edwards trying to cut ahead in a Wal-Mart line and the other gamers try to zap him.

The way to do all this is to use an SCTV type format but instead of a local TV station make it a fictitious all news cable station. This would allow the playing of short news parody clips as well as showing satirical versions of ego driven talk show hosts.

More ideas for a comedy show:

We need a parody of Rita Cosby. A correspondent whose voice is so hoarse that we can't even understand what she is saying. Also some talk show interviewer who is so old fashioned and out of touch with current culture that he doesn't want to even look at the internet because is scared of all the buttons you have to touch (think Larry King).

"the Daily Show tips left"... ;

TDS doesn't mearly "tip left", it out and out toppled over onto its side spilling it's load of 'we make fun of everyone equally' all over the road. Jon has had a really bad case of BDS since the start of the war in Iraq. Can you imagine how pissed off he would be if this new show became really popular and took away the buzz from his show?

I give it two episodes before the left starts calling it "Mean and Spiteful" or "In bad taste" or probably my favorite "The White Houses attack machine/station/show"

Ill watch it even if its not funny just to get its ratings up.  I just leave my TV on Fox News anyways, even if I am not watching it. Gotta keep those ratings up

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
