Comedy Central

CA announcements are running half an hour late, announcing Two and a Half Men as Friends

I was referring to the presentation not the idents.

I see Comedy Central have at last picked up the UK rights for The Daily Show, though will air it on Comedy Central Extra rather than the main channel.

Actually the pres on Extra is better than the main channel, I usually switch over when South Park is on as I find it offensive.

They've also got the rights to Whitney and How To Be a Gentleman.

I don't know why they would want How to be a Gentleman, it was a flop in the US and after the 5th episode it was pulled from the schedule - in fact Episodes 6 to 9 could have a world premier on Comedy Central rather than on CBS.

I've wanted to watch The Daily Show for a while now so it's nice to see it getting picked up. But it makes me wonder why CC have never shown interest in the likes of David Letterman or Craig Ferguson or other such daily, late-night shows. I know The Daily Show is more satire than chat show but they're still comedic, nonetheless...

CC's earlier incarnation, Paramount Comedy, did show David Letterman for a while. A few channels have tried Letterman but I assume it just doesn't do that well. It's a shame, but then again whenever I've been over in the US I've only ever watched the beginning

Sorry, I was talking about lamps, not presentation.

Presentation other than the idents, then.
