Fox News Channel is preparing a new Saturday night comedy show tailored to its largely right-leaning audience. . . . The show would take aim at "the sacred cows of the left” that don’t get lampooned very much by other comedy shows, according to Joel Surnow, co-creator of "24” and one of the executive producers of the new Fox program.

"It’s a satirical news format that would play more to the Fox News audience than the Michael Moore channel,” he told the Hollywood reporter.

"It would tip more right as ‘The Daily Show’ tips left.”

Sounds like somehing right up the alley of a Rush Limbaugh. Rush has been doing this forever, and so have a bunch of other right-leaning talk show hosts and commentators.

Sounds like something for Dennis Miller.

I'm getting Dennis Miller vibes here.

I caught this guy Mancow on Fox Saturday night. What's up with this guy?

[tomnbeverly]

About time... The left uses it as a politcal spring board... note Letterman/Orielly episode.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Hope that happens!

[Humidston]

What fantastic news! It's about time someone took on all those anal liberals!

"I caught this guy Mancow on Fox Saturday night. What's up with this guy?"

He does a Chicago radio show, I think. He shows up on Fox & Friends a lot.

Sounds like something for Dennis Miller.

I'd go along with that.

"I'm getting Dennis Miller vibes here."

Me too. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Mancow used to appear early morning on Fox News. He is a nut but hits the libs hard.

The Daily Show seems to have pushed shows like SNL further to the left. Sometimes it seems like they're not even trying to be funny anymore.

[Sue Perkick]

Works for me! He's certainly the perfect choice.

Last week I dumped cable tv, in favor of over the air HDTV. $600 a year for Fox News Channel is too much for this retired old bird.

Cross reference on thread topic for more information and comments.

Hope it's better that Manncow.....geez...that show sucked...

[SeanOGuano]

He does this segment where he calls up fast food stores around Chicago and says "Hi, this is Jose. I'm not coming in to work today." He usually gets one that has a Jose.

I'm getting Dennis Miller vibes here.

I'm hoping for a BS (Barbara Streisand) look-alike to present the wacky-left positions and opinions.

[unkus]

I see calls of Politically Incorrect already.

The prototype should be like the SNL Nancy Pelosi sketch
