Awesome. They really start out swinging.

This is such a great find, it deserves a *promote.

Why is it that British comedians/actors know a lot of stuff, but we have Jeff Foxworthy, Jim Cary, and Elizabeth Hassellback?

And on that note... I'd just like to salute Mr. Peter Cockhead.

Jeff Foxworthy is a not funny idiot, but do you know for a fact that he is not of at least average intelligence? I think Jim CARREY could do fine on a show like this, he's funny enough, although he typically relies on physical comedy a lot.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is neither an actress nor a comedian.

Just give it time, I'm sure 1 or all of the big US networks are working on a show like this and the other brit clones. If they do though, they will probably get unfunny minor celebrity comedians over actual funny lesser known folks.

It'll probably star all the "comedians" from those VH1 nostalgia shows.
