Pilot Watch: The FOX News Daily Show Clone

Anonymous tipsters report that Fox News Channel is working on a comedy pilot styled after Comedy Central's own Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Talk show host Laura Ingraham is the anchor apparent, while the program's working title is "Watch This Right Now." One source called the pilot "an absolutely terrible rip off of Daily Show" with added bits such as "music and video montage" and "mouth replacement of known news figures" (possibly in the vein of Robert Smigel's Clutch Cargo-esque "interviews" on Late Night With Conan O'Brien). Because if it's one thing the world needs, it's a fake news show on an ostensibly real news network.

1. GAG. Fox News is beyond nuts.

2. That fox in the photo is WAY too adorable to put on such a disgusting story. ;) I pity foxes...that they have to live their entire lives with such a negative association!

Oh well! Looking forward to seeing TDS trample this show in the ratings - if it even gets picked up!

This is the best news ever! A clear invitation for Jon Stewart to play a "Spot the fake news segment!" item comparing Fox News with Faux News every single day!

You don't need gag writers when Fox News can write them for you!

Tonights interview with Paul Giamatti was like watching two guys masturbate. No interview really and not really interesting except for the two getting off on each other and leaving the audience out of it. I hope they had fun. I didn't.

Yeah, Fred, that's a relevant comment.

With so much uproar and profanity from extreme Liberals, who can't seem to speak a sentance without profanity, this show must be a good one
