SummaryThe 1/2 Hour News Hour, originally named This Just In, is a parody with a comedic view of the news and political world take on politics and news from a conservative view. The format is almost identical to that of the Daily Show on Comedy Central, with the exception of the show using two anchors instead of one.

It's hard not to keep staring perplexed, squinting a little, and uttering, "I don't get it" every few seconds.

It's even worse than anyone imagined.

"Weekend Update" on its worst night isn't this bad.
