SHE SAID SHE WOULD DRAIN THE SWAMP.
SHE FORGOT ONE THING.

I saw another clip this morning that I thought was very funny. It opened showing the White House and the announcer says "And now - the President of the United States". Then they show the Oval Office with Rush Limbaugh sitting behind the desk. Later his phone rings and his secretary announces "The Vice-President is here". And the door opens and in walks Ann Coulter.
I say give the show some time. Even SNL wasn't all that funny at first.
Is HE the father of Anna Nicole's baby?!?
And any weatherman who dares to question the Global Warming thesis must be immediately branded as a heretic and deprived of his credentials immediately.
SCTV was FUnnie from the get-go.
No living Democrats can spell.
Well, I agree with you there.
Unlike those DEMOCRAT pillars of moral purity: Bawney "Turn the Page" Fwank, Bill "The Man from Grope" Clinton, Gavin Twosom, James McGroovey, Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy, Jesse "The Daddy" Jackson, William "Cold Cash" Jefferson. . . .
DRAIN YOUR OWN SWAMP, NANCY!
SCTV was deliberately sabotaged by NBC. What happened is that SCTV had consistently better material than SNL. So NBC offered SCTV a deal to appear on its network. Then what they did is broadcast it in the early AM when hardly anybody was awake and then cancelled it due to "poor ratings."
If you are going to quote me, please quote me accurately. The term is "hi-frikkin-larious"
I saw the Rush clip on H&C last night and it was painful to watch. I just wanted it to be over after 10 seconds of it, you know, like a root canal.
SCTV was BRILLIANT, very funny! I laugh just thinking of Guy Caballaro, Edith Prickley, Johnny LaRue, the Shmenge Brothers, Lola Heatherton. . . .
The format you describe, PJ, of a cable news channel would be loose enough to allow satirizing current events.
The Simpsons has a knack for doing that, too: they're watching Kent Brockman, a celebrity visits Springfield--lots of ways to work in contemporary references and still stay within format.
Well, last time I checked, Dennis Miller nor Kelsey Grammar were sitting in their whitey-tighties in momma's basement, pecking away on their keyboard, and stealing twenties from her purse to order late-night pizza.
One of the hosts on the fictitious CCC of "Media Circus" would be a fast talking, hyperactive, host of "Softball" called Matt Christopher. Whenever the subject turns to the Scooter Libby trial, rivers of drool flow from his mouth.
Are you thinking, amybe, Ben Stein?
Another CCC host would be a Rino Yuppie named Huckster Carlton who is constantly battling lousy ratings and lives in fear of being cancelled. The program director of CCC tell Huckster that he needs to get rid of his trademark bowtie because the audience hates it. However, Huckster stands his ground and they come up with the concept of Huckster wearing an even bigger bowtie with this twist---whenever Huckster gets excited about something, the oversized bowtie spins like a propellor.
That guy is no media critic.
Rush indicated yesterday that that clip is currently on YouTube. Sorry, I haven't seen it so "no linkee".
Another host on legal matters for CCC would be Nancy Graceless. She would dress and act like Roland Freisler of the German People's Court (Volksgerichtshof). Any guest of hers who is accused of committing a crime such as the Duke Lacrosse players is given the screeching Freisler treatment by her in that they aren't even given a chance to speak. (Important for her to wear the Volksgerichtshof judge hat and gown.)
"Are you thinking, amybe, Ben Stein?"
No, I was mentioning another funny conservative-Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Mark Steyn.
