This has become essential weekly viewing for me. It's light relief in these times and discusses more of the week (and is generally funnier and has a better mix of news) than Bill Maher. I think they should definitely continue having a mix of guests from across the political spectrum and show that it's OK to strongly disagree without being disrespectful. Especially with elected representatives, they have been elected and being able to let them show who they are and make fun/be made fun of is a good thing for democracy (and entertaining viewing) regardless of their party. Roy Wood Jr. is hilarious and like Amber and Michael can mix being funny with being well-informed when needed; the perfect host and captains. There have been some side splitting jokes and moments between the panel, I think the writing is on point and the chemistry is there. Love it.
CNN badly needs a good comedy show to compete with Gutfeld, so they came up with "Have I Got News For You". I tried hard to like this show, but sorry --- I think the show's concept, and the performances of the participants does not tickle my ribs. The laughter sounds like it's artificially "canned". Meh.
