Have I Got News for You

The best thing on CNN nowadays is a 30-minuite comedy show. Comedy? CNN? The most laughs on CNN are when the newscasters fail to flow up the many errors and lies being told all the time. Or when they say "breaking news" and it already broke a while ago. Put up all that aside. This new, quirky, irreverent and sometimes silly show is about the only good thing on CNN right now. They give you the news chopped up, dissected, twisted, and mish-mashed so many ways you'll still be laughing from the last bit when the new bit gets you too. No, it's not perfect and sometimes it is downright infantile, but it's funny, innovative, pertinent, topical, and did I say funny?

This is a good one.

Holds the spirit of the original BBC version, but with its own unique twist.

It was smart, funny, well rounded and well written. Roy Wood Jr. As the host was absolute genius casting. They've also done a very good job picking guest team members/comedians/personalities to be on the teams.

Interestingly, this show has a unique approach in that the questions just basically provide as a jumping off point for the jokes, but they're also very interestingly constructed game play as well.

The way they approach topics is very refreshing & wonderfully light hearted.

Top notch show all around.

I didn't want to like this show, but I can't help it, I loved it. This game show is extremely clever. It's on CNN, so it's obviously left leaning but done with a great sense of humor. Roy Wood, Jr. Is so quick witted and the rest of the cast is hysterical. Michael Ian Black is brilliant, informed and funny. I love the idea that it includes the most current events and brings levity to such a crazy reality we're all dealing with for the past week. I hope they are able to keep up the freshness and the lighthearted appeal and not slide into stale repetitive content. I think it helps that they are genuine comedians that are quick on their feet to keep it high spirited and current.

I like Roy Wood Jr, I love Michael Ian Black and it was very funny at times, but I was also confused. What is this show supposed to be. It seems very random. Meaningless points and teams. A retread of the weeks news where the panel guesses the story, quote, or person involved? Huh? It's like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me but not as good. I also saw this is based off a British show of the same name that's run since 1990. That show is clearly a success to last that long. So here's hoping the show finds its footing and a better structure in the episodes to come. I'll be continuing to watch to give it more of a chance.

But I really Enjoyed it.

Roy, I lived in Alabama for 15 years so I am legal bound to love him.

Amber, Does "Things Seth Can't Say" so I am legal bound to love her.

Micheal, Will always be Johnny Blue Jeans, so I am legal bound to love him. And who knew he was so well informed, up to date on current events, and intelligent.

Matt, is a highly regarded and respected Journalist and Commentator so I am legal bound to have no influence on him what so ever.

Robin, First African-American woman to be head writer. So I am legal bound to say she is an absolute wonder and almost old enough for me to date her. Yet I still would. (sometime rules need to be broken)

First Show and right out of the gate you picked good guest so I am legal bound to say I am going to watch it again next week.

Please Keep it up.
