minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down6·edit-22 days agoIt is right in the name, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” is a comedic parody of 60 Minutes and shows like it. I asked my Chinese AI and it offered this: This Hour Has 22 Minutes Mock newsmagazine; sharp, focused, satirical. Cynical, biting, “gotcha” journalism parody. Mostly pre-taped and tightly edited. Saturday Night Live Live variety show; broad, chaotic, character-driven. Silly, absurd, celebratory, sometimes clumsy.
