The news network will produce a version of the BBC's 'Have I Got News for You' this fall, after adding HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher' to line-up.
CNN is producing a U.S. edition of 'Have I Got News for You,' a long-running British comedic panel show that riffs on current affairs. The network announced Wednesday at parent company Warner Bros. Discovery's advertiser presentation in New York that the series will go into production this fall and air Saturdays in prime time. 'Have I Got News for You' premiered in 1990 on the BBC, where it continues to air.
” Fox News is already employing a similar strategy. The network launched 'Fox News Saturday Night' last year, using a rotation of comic commentators as hosts to lead a conversation with guests. Comedian Jimmy Fallia became the permanent host for the program, which has drawn nearly 1 million viewers in the 10 p.m. Eastern hour. The conservative-leaning network's nightly comedy talk show 'Gutfeld!' is the among the most watched programs on cable news.
