There's a reason the BBC show has run for over 30 years, I wish this show well.

There's a reason this is the fourth(!) attempt to copy HIGNFY in the US. And there's a reason Michael Ian Black (guy on the right) joked "we’ll probably be canceled in about three weeks" in the Guardian. How many comedy panel shows are on US TV? Exactly.
@@pierrecurie And also aggressive. See how Lisa Lampanelli treated Alex Horne on the US version. Lots of funny aggression and overspeaking thrives on this show in such an American way.
Oh and then seeing Amber Ruffin as a team captain was just perfect. I still have my doubts about the format working in the US media landscape, but if it's ever gonna work this'll be it!
I’m an Anglophile and HIGNFY is one of my favorite British comedy panel shows. I’m excited that we finally have our own version in the US. I hope this show lasts for a good long time because this clip was actually very good!
Yes. Uk version is hilarious and fun. I worry Americans are not gonna nail this one, the reason I think they lack a linguistic culture when it comes to chitchatting shit but keeping it interesting. A bit too try hard. They will also need to cast correctly for this kind of shows, it's not just being a comedian, it's being decent at recent events especially politics and main media so u can make fun of it. To be able to be silly but intelligently at that. English, are real good at that.
Ian and Paul are just so perfectly paired and are so experienced that it’s odd to see others in those roles. Hopefully this cast can develop some good chemistry of its own. This was a promising start.
Roy Wood jr., Jack Black, and Tim Walz, and the other participant with square face, are all the same person (Skirgailia 666 ) wearing CIA silicone disguise 🥸 w/voice synthesizer.
HOW do you fight back against so-called “Intelligence Organizations” worldwide peering into your personal computers(your electrical brains)? FIGHT them with your thoughts 💭 on their remote viewing monitoring, and they will be “gnawing their tongues in pain” Rev. 16:10
Roy needs his own platform. He's intelligent and funny. Glad to see him here. Don't give up Roy, you have a big fan base and yes we are pissed that TDS didn't give you a platform. Love you Roy 🥰💙
So so happy to see Roy Wood Junior with his own show! But please CNN, let us see the rest of the show! Not just this one segment! Some of us who don’t live in the US or don’t have access to CNN on cable only have TH-cam….❤
Or kudos to the British creators of this show that CNN lifted this format from Seems pretty stilted and scripted compared to the British version. Even the panellists' laughter seems forced.
@@robynmurray7421CNN also gave DL Hughely a show back in the day. They've always tried to dabble in the comedy world but it could never really stick. Hopefully Roy's show has more longevity. He's talented and deserves the success
True but whose line was always better with Stiles and Mochrie- some of our UK shows can work really well over there. Hell I prefer American The Office too. Carell just so much better than Gervais it’s not even funny.
YES MORE ROY, MORE AMBER PLEASE!!!!!! I been missing them since Roy left the daily show and Amber's late night disappeared. Two of the most important voices in american comedy IMO.
@@Johnny0lovely69 Not for everyone, though. I'm in Sweden and it's not available for me on there. Or any other streaming network I can find. It might be on TH-camTV but I ain't paying $65 for a single show even if it was. It's a shame because I love Roy Wood Jr and this looks like it could actually be pretty good. But I doubt they'll do what Last Week Tonight did and just make full episodes available for free. I mean I don't see it being a problem for them if they did (these news-comedy shows have at best a week or so of relevance, generally, so exclusivity past the airdate is pretty worthless) but CNN already made a great choice in giving Roy Wood Jr his own show. I don't see them making two in a row. But I guess if it's decent there's a chance it'll become available.
Of course it was a uk show. Hopefully it doesnt go the way of taskmaster where they got a good host for the american one, but cut the time in half, and let amy schumer get waaaay to competitive about it.
@@ytivarg5371 Couldn't finish the 1st iteration of Taskmaster US (it is rumored that it might be getting a reboot); I don't think the American contestants got the concept or maybe philosophy could be a better word. Yes, we the audience know it is for points but British panel shows have always treated points with contempt, Clive Anderson immortalising the words "..Where everything is made up and the points don't matter"
@@aarondunn6759 Yeah the american contestants took it way too seriously and didnt seem to be having fun with it. I still think reggie watts was a fine host but I was already a fan of him before so im biased.
The difference between the British version and the US version is that some of the US players are treating this like an actual competition to answer as quickly as possible and win the game. The idea of British panel shows is that the competition doesn't matter - it's just a vehicle for jokes. By answering so quickly (guy in the suit), you suck the jokes out of the set-up.
Actually it does have competition on who is first on the British version. It's just that the others get a crack at it too, because they won't keep their mouths shut. So they've incorporated it into the show.
@@tbdwoods If you've seen Mock The Week in the UK, giving the actual answer is often the last resort just so they can move on to the next bit. Sometimes even that isn't straightforward. 🙂
How have I not seen this before?!! I love all these folks and their banter and perspectives. They make me feel like we aren't in the darkest of timelines LOL
This is the best !! It renews my faith in humanity to see people use their critical thinking skills so magnificently (and hilariously). Thank the good lawd, there’s hope for us yet ! 👏👏🙏✌️
Most deserving of Roy Woods Jr.. Great platform on American cultural knowledge as well as witty. Hope this is the beginning of a long and succesful hosting caeeer for Mr. Woods... 👌🏽🙏🏾🙏🙏🏼😇✨️
Fox News saved my life. After years in a medically induced coma, my nurse put Fox News on my bedside t.v. This motivated me enough to get up and change the annoying channel. Thanks Fox News.
The original isn't really about getting it right but to get the best jokes out of it. This is a good start and I think the quiz aspect will take a step back and let the panel make jokes.
Fox News saved my life. For 24 months I couldn't have a bowel movement. One day I was sitting on the toilet and Fox News was on and I finally passed a brick. Thanks Fox News.
Oohh wow! At last the British TV show *Have i Got News For You!* America has adopted their own version! We ve had participants from US in the UK show for decades!!
This is good... Roy Wood Jr. needed his own show
The original host on the BBC show was fired after some tabloid lured him into sin with hookers and cocaine. Let's hope that doesn't happen to Roy... 😀
Definitely one of my favourite US comedians, such great insight and timing.
he has been on many
This is his own show lol
They’re not comedians if they keep making fun of republicans. They’re puppets paid by the left. It’s so obvious at this point.

Ya, panel shows in the US tend to be more angry than comedic :(
@@pierrecurie And also aggressive. See how Lisa Lampanelli treated Alex Horne on the US version. Lots of funny aggression and overspeaking thrives on this show in such an American way.
Paul Merton and Ian Hislop are two of many reasons. Secondly, UK has a panel show culture which does not exist in US.
The BBC version is quick witted and brutal. This is just polite.
This is the show we didn’t know we needed….❤Roy Wood Jr.
And it's also a show that's been around for 30+ years. Just not in the US. (Thanks, BBC!)
@@skabuoy Slightly astonished it's taken the US 34 years to pinch it!

Watch HIGNFY. The original
For the people 👍
“I have something racist to say” 🤣
😂
😂😂😂
We were all thinking it
That Was The Best One 😂
An American Have I Got News For You?! YES PLEASE. And Roy Wood, Jr. is the perfect host.
Roy Wood Jr. is kinda the perfect everything, though!
Yeah can't see him making Angus Deayton's mistakes!
I was like "Oh man an american HIGNFY? This is gonna be bad." followed by "Wait a second Roy Wood Jr?! This gon' be goooood!"
Oh and then seeing Amber Ruffin as a team captain was just perfect. I still have my doubts about the format working in the US media landscape, but if it's ever gonna work this'll be it!
Yeeesss!!! ❤
Tim Walz was playing Crazy Taxi non-stop on the Dreamcast? He's got my vote!
Yeah, really. I fail to see how this would reflect on him negatively.
Crazy Taxi was the reason I worked at LEGO ❤
FINALLY Roy Hosting
Ikr? Let him do his thing. We need that calm but audacious brilliance. Missed you Roy
Didn’t he already have his own show once?
I’m an Anglophile and HIGNFY is one of my favorite British comedy panel shows. I’m excited that we finally have our own version in the US. I hope this show lasts for a good long time because this clip was actually very good!
A Dreamcast lover was a cultured, wise person. There were dozens of us!
Dozens!
Every year they get together in a phone booth..
When we had 2 crazy taxi , 2 powerstones , 2 shenmues , 2 sonic adventures .....do we need more games ?
@@EmulcoolHi Friend
Honestly, that wasn't even Tim's fault. If you had a Dreamcast and Crazy Taxi there was zero work getting done.
That was honestly pretty great. I'm glad Roy Wood Jr's got a show.

BBC Panel shows are the absolute best for comedy and knowledge acquisition. Hope they do it well here
This show has been a mainstay on BBC for 35 years, lets see if the US finally embraces the greatness that is panel shiw format
Kinda wish it was packaged with CNN though. Really enjoyed it on BBC
I never miss the UK version. This seems pretty good!

CNN finally got a good show since Bouldain died.
Some of their shows start off great, I hope this one continues that way.

If he ever gets tired of this, he can pass it on to Kenan.😉
OMG as an American fan of the original HIGNFY I'm so stoked to see this!!!!
Hi Friend
You are going to be disappointed, it will bomb and be cancelled within the first year
A rare tribe, but here we are
I'm Australian and glad to see the American format. Love the original as well!
🫂🫂🫂 I found my people!!
I just love this show. We need a few good laughs at the end of the week after all of the bad news. Just what we needed!!
This was the show I did not know I needed. Amber: "I'm gonna be racist now." 😂😂😂❤
Instead of Amber, says what, it should be I'm gonna be racist now😂
but WAS it the same woman?
HIGNFY has been on in the UK for 35 years. It's great.
@@benzaiten933 its a sequel so i'm gonna say yes, but i cant actually tell with my eyes.

Roy face at that last comment.....was like damn thats funny..but ya'll going to get us cancelled!!
Great to finally have Roy back on the air.
Definitely more of this, thank you Roy Wood Jr.
This is terrific and Roy Wood Junior is a genius! This also needs to be a podcast!
Love this! Love all of them, esp Roy Wood Jr
YES MORE ROY, MORE AMBER PLEASE!!!!!! I been missing them since Roy left the daily show and Amber's late night disappeared. Two of the most important voices in american comedy IMO.

Working on the corner of McDonald's is not the same as working in McDonald's!!!
completely agree! answering the questions at all seems to be an after thought on the British version its way funnier
There's no better example of that than QI. Just watch the clip about the giant tortoise to see your point in action.
Actually it does have competition on who is first on the British version. It's just that the others get a crack at it too, because they won't keep their mouths shut. So they've incorporated it into the show.

Hilarious! Well done Roy Wood Jr. Watching from Denmark.
Joining everyone saying something positive. All great humans to have as a collective comedy panel.
Very happy about this show
First time I've watched CNN in a long time. Love RW jr.
Just here to say that Walz's choice of video game console (Dreamcast) does make him incredibly cooler.
