Comedy Show For Audiences Who Think Rush Limbaugh Mocking Michael J. Fox Is Funny

Via HuffPo, Paul J. Gough for the Hollywood Reporter reports 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." "Sacred cows of the left," y'know, like stem cell research for Parkinson's sufferers, civil rights, opposition to torture, honest elections. This is obviously the stinky brainfart of people who totally fail to grasp that the Daily Show is not "left" at all, it is simply anti-corruption, anti-hypocrisy, anti-dishonesty. Of course, then again, maybe that is "left" after all, since being "right" is pro-corruption, pro-hypocrisy, pro-dishonesty.
