This Hour Has 22 Minutes is not "Canadian SNL"

    Just another example of Americans not having any clues about anything outside their borders and not even caring enough to bother to find out either.

    I used to call Boys in the Hall Canadian SNL.

    Kids in the Hall kind of replaced SCTV which was meant to compete with SNL.

    Different formats though.

    Nope. Lorne Michaels produced both Kids in the Hall and SNL, many cast migrated over.

    I have no idea what you are trying to say.

    SCTV was created to compete with SNL. It kept many Canadian comedians in Canada, like John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Catherine O’Hare though some also did SNL—like Marin Short.

    I am saying Kkds in the Hall filled the comedy void in Canada left by SCTV. You can disagree about that I guess.

    Didn't know about this show and I just subbed with Jellyseer. Being from the US I hate US TV.

    It is right in the name, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” is a comedic parody of 60 Minutes and shows like it.

    I asked my Chinese AI and it offered this:

    This Hour Has 22 Minutes

    Mock newsmagazine; sharp, focused, satirical. Cynical, biting, "gotcha" journalism parody. Mostly pre-taped and tightly edited.

    Saturday Night Live

    Live variety show; broad, chaotic, character-driven. Silly, absurd, celebratory, sometimes clumsy.

    I honestly fucking hate this trend. If I wanted to know what an LLM would say about something, I would ask it myself. Shit like this is not a substitute for human interaction.
