This low-budget mix of parody and satire is highly underrated. It is along the lines of Kentucky Fried Movie or the Groove Tube; skit-based comedy centered around watching late-night television. Admittedly its frequent dry humor may bore some, but fans of the previously stated films will enjoy it. Released on VHS by Troma in 1998, this film was actually produced in 1991 (as stated on the copyright in the credits). Troma fans may be surprised that this movie is actually funny, gory, and yet accessible. Tommy Blaze truly is a great skit-performer, and I wish he had continued to work within that. Sadly, I have never seen "The Newz" which was a short-lived comedy variety show during the mid-nineties; but I imagine it was funny, like so many hastily cancelled skit shows in that time period. (The Ben Stiller Show, and Alex Winter's The Idiot Box, come to mind) Seek this movie out, there are used copies going around for less than $10.
