52: The highest-rated political comedy show on TV, with four times as many viewers as The Daily Show, is Gutfeld!, a right-wing Fox production I never heard of until now. Industry insider Jeff Maurer explains Why “Gutfeld” Is The Highest-Rated Political Comedy Show On Television (It’s Not Because It’s Good). Short answer: it produces a lot of episodes, mostly by diluting the (hard to produce) comedy with a lot of (easy to produce) panels, then handles the panels well enough that viewers don’t feel ripped off. Also: “Gutfeld! certainly doesn’t do anything to dispel my belief that the Republican Party is intellectually brain dead” (h/t Ne0liberal)
29: The Daily Show did an episode on shrimp welfare, apparently thanks to Bentham’s Bulldog’s indefatigable pro-shrimp blogging. An inspiring story of how a single ordinary person, if they try hard and believe in themselves, can get their pet cause made fun of on national television (but in a good way, I think)!
