minus-squareHubertManne@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoto bad. I would look up and try to watch this show if is was a canadian sketch commedy show.
minus-squarebuffing_lecturer@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoHow would you describe it?
minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 months agoIt is right in the name, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” is a comedic parody of 60 Minutes and shows like it. I asked my Chinese AI and it offered this: This Hour Has 22 Minutes Mock newsmagazine; sharp, focused, satirical. Cynical, biting, “gotcha” journalism parody. Mostly pre-taped and tightly edited. Saturday Night Live Live variety show; broad, chaotic, character-driven. Silly, absurd, celebratory, sometimes clumsy.

minus-squareaarch0x40@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoIt’s closer to The Daily Show, but weekly.
minus-squarehume_lemmy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI’d say more like a slightly political Carol Burnett show.
minus-squareharrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt’s much better than SNL.
minus-squareThePantser@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoDidn’t know about this show and I just subbed with Jellyseer. Being from the US I hate US TV.
minus-squarepanda_abyss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt can be hot or miss, but if you’re into Canadian politics it’s been very hit this year.

minus-squarekent_eh@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoJust another example of Americans not having any clues about anything outside their borders and not even caring enough to bother to find out either.
minus-squareLucidlethargy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoBro, I’ve never even heard of this website. Way to baselessly generalize every American, even those that might otherwise align with you.
minus-squarepsycotica0@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt’s not a website, it’s a TV show that’s been on the air since 1993 (~32 years)

minus-squareSaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoSNL is Canadian SNL. Lorne Michaels is from Toronto and he scouts most of his talent from Canada.
minus-squaretacosanonymous@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI used to call Boys in the Hall Canadian SNL.
minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoKids in the Hall kind of replaced SCTV which was meant to compete with SNL. Different formats though.
minus-squareSaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoNope. Lorne Michaels produced both Kids in the Hall and SNL, many cast migrated over.
