  • Forget the UK version this is so much better

    Loving the US version of HIGNFY. Really finding its legs in the 2nd season. Digging deep into the news with funny & genuinely spontaneous exchanges between contestants & host unlike the geriatric UK version which is predictable, restrained & no v funny.

  • Brilliant

    I happened to hear a commercial for this and I’m so glad I did. It’s smart and really funny (you can hear me laughing aloud while doing the laundry at midnight) perfect to balance all the dramatic and often bad onslaught of news. Love the chemistry between the three with Michael being the perfect genius leader. Jim and Jody are so wonderful and smart and give that softer tone to Michael’s witty and cutting satire.

    Hey there Michael, long time fan here. Let me first say your comedy gets a huge nod of approval from me. One might say you’re my favorite comedian. I sat front row when you came to Salt Lake and let me tell you, your European architect boots were top tier. Now, down to business, I’m offering to send you one a real microphone, the sound quality is simply not meeting my very high standards. I’m somewhat of a sound artesian of sound if you will. Anyway, if you’re interested in my very generous offe... more
