Cam, we may already have one, but which TV channel would they appear on? The ABC wouldn’t touch it (for fear of Glass House part 2), the commercial networks would make it suck… maybe SBS…

You’d only ever get that kind of content on Pay TV. Free to air only likes drivel. Cue the Cowgirl show, season #4576.

well SBS does show The Daily Show world edition or some such thing. The normal show is on Comedy Channel on Foxtel and is shows the most recent episodes same day as they go to air in USA.

Hmmm… but I think we need a version of the Daily Show that discusses Australian politics/issues. Maybe SBS could do it (or maybe TPN could hook up with C31 and hijack one of thier studios 🙂 )
