This is about ten times worse than the worst of Weekend Update...

Anyway, thoughts on this clip? So how is this different from regular Fox News?

If this is the same clip I already saw, then I agree that it isn't that funny. The laughtrack really makes it seem lame.

I disagree with your bashing of the old Daily Show, though. Old Daily Show > new Daily Show. Comedy's funnier when there's no agenda behind it...

Yep, the Daily Show is at its most brilliant when it goes after the media. See the recent Anna Nicole Smith segment, f'r instance. That's the big innovation to the Weekend Update (or Leno/Letterman/etc.) scheme: the target's ultimately the media, rather than celebrity personalities. And of course, the Colbert Report is the distillation of the concept, which is partially why it's so brilliant.

And Craig Kilborn was terrible

Red Eye is funny though, so Fox is batting .500 on their new comedy shows. Gutfeld's mom...
