I thought it was a pretty funny spoof on SunTV.  btw was Atwood actually interviewed on SunTV - I would like to see that.

The name of the show is this hour has 22 minutes.  The title is a spoof of an old news show.

He said it was from the show This Hour has 22 minutes.  He even italicized the name.

meh, that's like expecting an american to understand why not the nine o'clock news is not the nine o'clock news. I don't expect you to get Icelandic in jokes.

Well, I watched it.. well, must be funnier after a few molsons and if the only other thing on tv is hockey.

If this is the show's usual standard then it is just as well that the hour has only 22 minutes.

It does mostly political humour, which doesn't translate very well if you don't know the context.

Eh, It's like Saturday Night Live doing a skit where Amy Poehler playing a Faux News Bimbo interviews Whoopie Goldberg playing Toni Morrison discussing the closing of public libraries. They could have done that with almost the identical script.

no, she wasn't.  I think Krista Erickson invited her, but she declined.  It could have been fun.  I might have watched that.
