    If anything 22 minutes is Canadian Colbert/John Steward

    Aren’t those studio interview heavy, though? SNL is where I’d go to explain 22 to a foreigner, even though the live broadcast gimmick isn’t there.They do do on-location interviews sometimes, I guess…

      I dunno 22 minutes is cut and dry satire. SNL is a variety show, sure they dip their toe into pop politics but it’s primarily about entertainment/comedy

      The difference between Colbert and 22 minutes is one is more of an ensemble and the other is held down primarily by an Individual. There’s a talk show element to Stuart/Colbert that isn’t there for 22 minutes either
