Summary The 1/2 Hour News Hour, originally named This Just In, is a parody with a comedic view of the news and political world take on politics and news from a conservative view. The format is almost identical to that of the Daily Show on Comedy Central, with the exception of the show using two anchors instead of one.

If none of this quite rises to the level of Jon Stewart's intellectual hopscotch or Amy Poehler's inspired lunacy, it's nonetheless agreeably funny.
A look at the first episode suggests that, just as A.M. radio is the unassailable province of the right, TV might better be left to the left.

The 1/2 Hour News Hour is slow torture all by itself.
In truth, there's nothing wrong with partisan humor, as long as it's actually funny. But here, even the less-political jokes are hopelessly obvious or old.
It's hard not to keep staring perplexed, squinting a little, and uttering, "I don't get it" every few seconds.
It's even worse than anyone imagined.
"Weekend Update" on its worst night isn't this bad.
