It's a 30-minute show, and the Fox News Channel has bought two of them, and essentially these are pilots. These are programs designed to see if they work, after which if they do then the big-time budget flows and these shows get produced for real. So they've got two test runs coming up. The first one is Sunday night at ten o'clock after Sean Hannity's new one-hour show, and in these episodes, I open each show in a skit as the president of the United States, and Ann Coulter is the vice president of the United States, in each of these skits. Now, we went out and did three of these. Only two of the programs have actually been produced yet, and as I say, the first one airs on Sunday night at ten o'clock. Now, the fireside chat. I did a version of a fireside chat skit that would have opened the third show, had it run. Actually no. I take it back. The fireside chat skit does run in episode two. They're going to put the opening with me and Ann Coulter on YouTube this afternoon, is what I'm told, for people to get a look at. I'm not that versed in YouTube. I don't know how to find things there. If you just look at "The 1/2 Hour News Hour," sometime this afternoon it's going up and you can get a heads up. That's in episode one.

It was great!
Weely!>
The comedy message board, "aspecialthing" has already started a thread on this and their comments are almost entirely negative. None of them seemd to get the "BO Magazine" joke.

Thanks for defining 'pilot' for us Rush. We'd never have guessed.
Ian has the opening on hotair:

Ouch!
Rush was OK, but the stuff on YouTube was low-brow. I hope they get someone to punch up the humor a little, or this show, even with Rush won't last till April Fool's Day.
Who's going to be teh first to print up Limbaugh/Coulter stickers?
So FNC doesn't want to be taken seriously for about a 1/2 hour each day or week?
Bizarre.
I would rather see icons like Limbaugh or even Coulter doing what they are good at. (Not performing as the opening act for bad comedy.)
Good grief.
That laugh track was lain down with a trowel. Awful.
I don't get why sitcoms and comedy shows have to have laugh tracks anyway. Are they trying to cue us so we know when it's supposed to be funny?
Call me crazy, I thought it was funny.
Best line, "If you don't we'll invade your country, kill your leaders and convert you to Christianity."
I know that line alone would make for a great DUmmie FUnnies.
I must be one of the only people here at FR who LOVED this! :-)
ROFL! It's the DUmmies' worst nightmare, isn't it??? :-) :-)
Didn't even mind that silly laugh track much.
Previously she's meant it seriously and I tend to agree. Now it's a joke?!
Thanks for the post!

Thanks for the ping!
I agree...I was embarassed for them....
Bumper stickers - great idea
For the naysayers:
1. The laugh track is part of the satire
2. It is satire
3. It is a satire of Saturday Night Live
4. It was funny
5. How'd she get this number? ROTFL
7. How's the moroseness going Rushbashers?
8. Rush and Ann are not poll driven
Note to Fatima: re #17 What on earth are you talking about?
