24 creator, Joel Surnow, is producing what he calls "A Daily Show for conservatives.“ Naturally liberals won’t admit The Daily Show is Left-leaning, but they don’t admit anything’s Left-leaning. These are the same people who think CNN’s too pro-American. Anyway, The Hot Little Number I Call Mrs. Harry and I were lucky enough to score some seats to watch the taping and had a terrific time. It was our first ever look at the live taping of a TV show and we found it to be a fascinating experience.
The Half Hour News Hour is actually nothing like The Daily Show because The Half Hour News Hour is actually funny. The two stars, Kurt Long and Susan Yeagley, displayed none of Jon Stewart’s smug self-satisfied mugging or Colbert’s tiresome ironic self-awareness. Instead, they’re both charming performers with a strong chemistry who blend seriousness and absurdity in the same way SNL did in the heyday of it’s Weekend Update series.
I’m not going to review the show here. It was shot out of order and the few dud jokes will hopefully be edited out, and how it will all come together is anyone’s guess. But as a series of sketches, most were laugh-out-loud funny and brutally clever skewering environmentalism, political correctness, the ACLU, and many other liberal sacred cows.
It’s nice to finally have a powerful, outspoken producer on our side. I’m encouraged by what I saw Saturday and think Surnow understands there’s an audience out there largely ignored and ready to become a cash cow with more smart programming. Like I said, I can’t recommend a show before it’s put together, but I strongly recommend you give it a chance. Some of the jokes were timely, so I expect it will air soon.
I can see it now:
"Colmes, you ignorant Slut!"
:oD
How about a "You may be a Libearal..."
recurring skit?
:o)
Then we reply by putting together
a video of a couple of *thousand*
derogarory and slanderous attacks
made on republicans over the years
on every different type of program
coming out of Hollypuke, Buttstank,
& the NY and DC News and talk shows...
hell we wouldn't even have to go back
more than a year or two..much less
the length of time FNC has been on
the air...much less than all the lies
of all the leftist monkey pigs have
been talling on the Late shows as they
bragged about what drunken, drug addict,
immoral trash they are...over the last 45
*years*!..
Yeah you're probably right. I figured after getting kicked in the gonads by Cheney, Wolf would need something to help him get his tail out from his rear. A new cause would just do that in the minds of liberals.
While the devolving DemoSluts will do *any*thing.
It took me a couple of episodes to figure out that the Colbert Report is a show about a liberal pretending to be a conservative and ultimately the goal was to make conservatives looks like idiots.
"The Drunken Adventures of Edward Kennedy" - The camera, imbedded in an ambulance, follows Ole Teddy from his first drink of the day to his last.
"The Hillary For President, Keep An Eye On Bill Segment" - The camera follows a sneaking Bill Clinton as he attempts to keep his escapades from his presidentially aspiring wife.
"Pelosi's Corner" - The camera follows Ms. Speaker as she visits classroom after classroom teaching 'her grandchildren' how she will protect the youngsters rights to become transgendered, transsexual, bisexual, homosexual, and a Sadist or Masochist.

I love it. This should be fun.
Amen brotha
Something tells me that the show will scan the Free Republic not just for feedback on how well they're playing to conservatives, but for ideas and slogans to play on the show as well.
Interesting! Good for Surnow!
Hey, that's a hate crime in NJ, isn't it?
"They have the media, holly-weird and academia."
...who think the truth is propaganda.
I see many libs saying Fox news is Faux news more. But, hey I'll watch this.
I didn't know Manny Coto was a conservative. That guy almost saved Enterprise.
"The Hillary For President, Keep An Eye On Bill Segment" - The camera follows a sneaking Bill Clinton as he attempts to keep his escapades from his presidentially aspiring wife. "
LOL!
And every time Slimy Willie is on the
screen, have 'Sneakin through the Alley
With Sally", playing as his "theme music".
>B-}
"Hopefully it will get 11:00 or 11:30 if it is indeed coming on the Fox News channel (I'd rather it not be on a news channel but no big deal) to counter Jon Stewart directly."
I prefer it run on CBS against The Daily Show.
Hey, one suggestion for Ailes that I believe would really help this show:
Make the episodes available on the Fox website for streaming download (like they do with the show The Office). The younger generation rarely watches TV but if the episodes are somewhere on the web then it will really help spread the word about this show.
does anyone know if there is an official statement from foxnews about this? i only found some news articles discussing the show but nothing official from fox news??
I haven't heard of any official statement. If I do I'll be sure and post it.
