Coming Soon: A Fox "Daily Show"?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Considering that, Jon Stewart must be having a pretty good month, as well as Comedy Central.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Fox News is considering airing a show as a response of sorts to Comedy Central's wildly successful Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The show, dubbed This Just In is set to air in January as a two episode pilot. TJI, a half-hour show, will reportedly be executive produced by 24's Joel Surnow and Manny Cota and creator Ned Rice, who previously wrote for Politically Incorrect.

I can't WAIT to watch this show. Imagine how funny Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Bernie Goldberg, Jerry Falwell, Sean Insannity, Michael Savage, etc. will be. Yea, those intolerants are a barrel of laughs.

I predict it will fall flat on its face, but I hope it won't. Nothing makes a show better than competition - so maybe it will make The Daily Show even better. Well, come to think of it, This Just In won't really be competing with TDS. Watching humorless right wingers trying to be funny could be amusing though.

Couldn't it?
