Has anyone seen this? It's horrible. It's on Fox News, and it really shows how oblivious that whole network is. It's like a news show, on late at night (like 2am), but they try to make it funny, because people up late at night are too stupid to handle news that's not about madcap celebrity hi-jinx, without some kind of condescending flair, like a funny hat, or watered-down quasi-nihilistic humor, performed by complete hacks.

They achieve their humor by having moronic, “hip” anchors, by the dozen, it seems, all competing to get their terrible joke it at the same time. They seem to be working largely without a script, which is best, considering how talentless they all are, and how badly they butcher the few prepared headlines and whatnot that they do have.

It's hard to describe how unfunny, awkward and unwatchable it really is, so I do recommend you watch a couple minutes, just to understand why I'm so irritated.

At one point, and I swear to Christ I'm not making this up, the main anchor, desperate to get a joke in during a poorly conceived segment about Bob Dylan scaring his grandson's classmates, said something about Bob Dylan locking children in his guitar case to later perform sick sexual acts on them. There was an awesome pause of horror, before they moved on. Moments like that are enough to make it unintentionally hilarious, if you have an inhibitingly overdeveloped sense of irony, like me.

I don't even know what to say about this show....you've basically covered it. I truly don't understand how it's on tv. The commercials for it with the voice over are even worse. When the main anchor glances at the camera after a joke or an attempt to be offensive...it is seriously some of the most awkward tv ever.

Is it as bad as E! news weekly, or the anything on the TV Guide Channel?

You know, Fox News really takes the fun out of making fun of Fox News. I mean, it used to be fun to watch it and point out the ways that it is not a legitimate news source. Now it's just like dropping a nuclear bomb in a barrel of fish. You know?

I've seen it, meh. That's all I got.
