[php] Satire hands a right
Fox, Surnow prep conservative skein
By MICHAEL LEARMONTH

Comedy Central has made a good living out of skewering the political right.

Now Fox News Channel, a primary source of material for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, is teaming with the exec producer of “24″ to try its hand at a news satire show for conservatives to love.

Joel Surnow, co-creator of “24,” is shooting two half-hour pilots of a skein he described as “‘The Daily Show’ for conservatives,” due to air in primetime on Saturdays in January.

If successful, the show could take its place on the regular schedule, adding satire to FNC’s formula of news and opinion.

“The way I look at it, almost every comedy show or satire show I see uses the same talking points against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney,” Surnow said. “The other side hasn’t been skewered in a fair and balanced way.”

The working title of the show has been “This Just In,” but that will change because AOL just launched a broadband comedy channel by that name.

The pilot segs will be co-anchored by comedians Kurt Long and Susan Yeagley and feature a family of correspondents. “There will be some elements of ‘The Daily Show’ and some of ‘Weekend Update,’ ” Surnow said.

And as conservative humorists, they will of course be standing on the shoulders of giants.

Ladies and gentlemen, Republican funnyman Dennis Miller:

I liked the part where Dennis Miller decides that he is in charge and those that are for imagration need to leave the country ..........I tell you what Dennis , why dont you leave the country , some say Canada doesnt have a huge mexican problem ........... or better yet TRussia Mr Miller , they are used to 1 person making all the decisions for everyone else ...... Communism seems to be your bag ......

I think that Dennis Miller is downright hilarious. He's one of the brightest comedians on the face of the planet, and he has a penchant for the rib-cracking body punch. I would watch it just for him.

Stewart is alright, Colbert is pretty good, but Miller is much better than all of the daily show guys combined, IMO.

I guess liberals are better at comedy and conservatives are better at talk radio.

Exactly. How can you beat that?

Although O'Reilly did a number on O.J. Simpson. He's got some real balls to blast Fox over that... but wait - just this second I thought of something. What if Fox decided to dump the show, and before they announced it, they went to Bill-O and tipped him off so he could be "the hero"?

I wouldn't put it past them ...

As far as the new show pilot ... I admit I loved Dennis Miller - he was my favorite guy - until he went far-right wing-nut on us. Even so, I gotta be honest, I'd watch the show at least a couppla times.
