Original: ‘This Hour Has 22 Minutes,’ a Canadian Sketch Show, Beats American Late Night to the Punchline https:// lemmy.today/post
The Canadian satire program 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' is being credited with landing political punchlines before American late-night hosts, according to a New York Times-framed discussion circulating online. Commenters are weighing in on whether the long-running Halifax-based sketch show has become quicker to the joke on US news than America's own late-night monologues.
