The one clip I saw of the Half-Hour Comedy Hour was beyond cringe inducing. Right off the bat: obvious laugh track. The two co-hosts’ direction apparently consisted of “Imitate Jon Stewart. Poorly.”

The fake commercial for an Obama magazine featuring stock footage of what looked like a rally of actual African people didn’t help.

And as someone on another board pointed out: how much does the Daily Show get under Roger Ailes’s skin that he created a “comedy” show to run on his news network?
