Anyone remember how back in boomer times CNN couldn't do this because it was a 24-hour news channel? Zoomers, this is a concept you've never seen before, but there used to be TV channels that just constantly told you what the latest news is all day and all night. Oh wait, zoomies probably don't even know what a TV channel is. 
All I know about these people is I saw Michael Ian Black on Reno 911 where he's playing a dying pervert who keeps saying the most vile offensive things possible, so he's capable of that. But I really doubt CNN has the guts to let this show be edgy enough to work. That and as I alluded to above, young people don't watch cable tv. That's a critical demographic for this kind of show.
So I'm just waiting to see how bad this bombs.

Have I Got News for You is a British political comedy panel quiz show that's been running since 1990. Remaking it with Americans sounds like heck.

We're going to make the same product with a 10th of the quality and be 10x more popular.

Just like other UK to US comedy remake successes like The IT Crowd and The Inbetweeners.

Pilots don't mean anything. If they really wanted IT Crowd to take off they wouldn't have Joel McHale as Roy.

I'm sorry that America hasn't produced anything funny since season 3 of Frasier.

Can you make up your mind on Joel McHale please.

He's way too attractive and alpha to portray Roy. None of the material works for him.

Ohhh noooo. Why do they keep taking the most British British comedies and making them American? What's left once you remove the Britishness?
