MORE ABOUT THE SHOW
NEWS TO ME is a
current affairs comedy quiz show that brings together 6 distinctive
talents from across the political spectrum and from the diverse fields
of comedy, journalism, video and music.
Act I of NEWS TO ME
features “SOLO SPOTS” in which the week’s Guest Host and each of the
four Panelists offer their unique take on a top story in news.
Act II is kicked off by
the week’s Special Musical Guest performing a topical/satirical song.
Then, the Host becomes moderator for the rousing NEWS TO ME QUIZ, in
which the 4 panelists compete for a cash prize to their favorite
charity.
NEWS TO ME aims
to inform and amuse, giving the audience a personal understanding of –
and connection to – issues that may previously have been only “sound
bites” to them.
In an era of endless
“screaming heads” on cable talk shows, NEWS TO ME provides an
antidote that is congenial rather than confrontational; it is about
listening, laughing, and above all, leaving the viewer feeling happier –
a smarter! – about current events.
