FOX NEWS Eyes Right-Leaning Satirical Show

(From Reuters/The Hollywood Reporter -- By Paul J. Gough)

FOX NEWS CHANNEL might air two episodes of a DAILY SHOW-like program with a decidedly nonliberal bent on Saturday nights in late January, with the possibility that it could become a weekly show.

The half-hour show would take aim at what executive producer JOEL SURNOW, the co-creator of 24 calls "the sacred cows of the left" that don't get made as much fun of by other comedy shows.

"It's a satirical news format that would play more to the
FOX NEWS audience than the MICHAEL MOORE channel,"
Surnow said. "It would tip more right as THE DAILY SHOW tips left."
