The ½ Hour News Hour(2007)

The ½ Hour News Hour is an American news satire series that aired on Fox News Channel, presenting current events through a conservative lens. Drawing inspiration from Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update and The Daily Show, the program used comedic sketches and satirical commentary to cover the news. The show premiered with two pilots in February and March 2007, then launched its full run on May 13, 2007, with 13 additional episodes ordered. Dennis Miller, the legendary Weekend Update anchor, appeared regularly with his "The Buck Starts Here" segment. The ensemble cast included Kurt Long, Jennifer Robertson, Manny Coto, and Ned Rice. Despite its high-profile contributors, the series was cancelled after a brief run, with the final episode airing on September 23, 2007.
