For all our UK forum members, I thought you would find this piece of news interesting.
It's one of the funniest Tv Shows on in the USA right now in my humble opinion:
Quote:
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Jon Stewart and his merry band of "senior correspondents" are about to invade Britain.
"The Daily Show," Comedy Central's award-winning fake newscast, is set to become part of the lineup on a new digital channel in the United Kingdom this fall. More4, a digital spinoff of broadcaster Channel 4, will launch in October.
The deal marks the first time that "The Daily Show" will be seen in its entirety outside North America (the show also airs in Canada), according to several news reports. A condensed version of the show currently airs on CNN International.
The show makes most of its jokes at the expense of American politicians and the news media, but More4 head Peter Dale doesn't think the humor will be lost when "The Daily Show" crosses the Atlantic.
"I think it's irresistible to an audience that likes an irreverent brand of humor," Dale tells Reuters. "It's made for British audiences in some ways."
