FNC's "Half-Hour News Hour" May Surpass Low Expectations
This contradicts prior reviews and the general indications given by the sneak previews, so my hopes aren't particularly re-elevated, but let's all have a watch, just in case Fox's new right-leaning fake news show is indeed shy of terrible.
(HT: Hot Air)
[T]hose on the left anticipating, and probably hoping for, some kind of ghastly disaster will be disappointed — and may even feel like joining in the (apparently canned) laughter more times than they’d expect. In a nutshell: It isn’t terrible.
I don't want to write off these co-hosts before the first episode has aired, but how do you not tap Dennis Miller for this gig? He already works for the network, he's brighter and wittier than either of the Comedy Central fake news hosts, and he cut his teeth as a fake TV news anchor back in the 80s when Jon Stewart was still Jonathan Leibowitz. Team him up with Drew Carey or Larry the Cable Guy or one of the other few Hollywood pariahs who's dared to declare right-leaning tendencies and there you've got a show.
1/2HNH Premieres tonight at 10 Eastern.
While you wait: Promo, Preview 1 and Preview 2.
