Yes!
Comedy Central has NEWS…
Comedy Central NEWS…
The NEWS that did not happen…
So next week this time we welcome CCN (Comedy Central News) to our TV screens.
The perfect antidote to TV news from Comedy Central – a weekly 30 minute round-up of all the NEWS that did NOT happen – but really should have…
CCN will be using real-life footage and an array of talented local voice-over artists to subvert the ‘real’ news, unhindered by facts or political correctness. Instead, CCN hijacks the latest sports, entertainment and political stories making them funnier and more satisfying through a mix of sharp observation, clever writing, fake punditry, and silly voices.
Anchored by award-winning South African comedian and performer Sne Dladla, CCN sets its sights on everyone and everything from The Springboks to Brexit, Hillary Clinton to Bonang Matheba and Taylor Swift to President Zuma.
“It’s an honour and a pleasure to be joining the Comedy Central family. While Trevor takes his Monday off to do whatever it is Hollywood millionaires do, we’ll keep things ticking, bringing the third world quota of the news to Comedy Central’s audience,” Sne says.
Commented Evert van der Veer, Vice President, Comedy Central, Africa, “We are delighted to introduce Comedy Central’s first homegrown satirical comedy show – a comic antidote to the real news for people who want to escape from the daily grind of current affairs and grim headlines. WithSne at the helm, we look forward to building on our grand tradition of satirical news programming.”
