Have I Got News for You: US Version - Full Season
February 24, 2025 2:15 PM - Season 2, Episode 1 - Subscribe
This is for the US adaptation of the longtime UK news panel show.
Producers of the original UK Have I Got News For You have been trying to bring the show to the United States for about 20 years - and finally seem to have succeeded, with Roy Wood Jr. as host and both Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black as team captains. The show airs on CNN - and happily seems to have retained a good deal of the spice of the original.

I’ve really enjoyed this UK to US adaptation - the writing is surprisingly sharp, and most the guest picks on point. That said, I really feel like this show is going to get cancelled as soon as some Trump Admin goon finds out about it and starts yammering about CNN bias. 🙄
(Also, given my previous disdain for Michael Ian Black’s erm… flaccid Dem politics, I’ve been particularly pleased to see him scoring off of people like the aforementioned GOP rep!)

Oh and Amber Ruffin has *really* been great in this - her skills are really showcased here in a way that not many got to see with the Amber Ruffin Show (RIP). Absolute credit to her.
