This Hour Has 22 Minutes is not “Canadian SNL”
to bad. I would look up and try to watch this show if is was a canadian sketch commedy show.
Just another example of Americans not having any clues about anything outside their borders and not even caring enough to bother to find out either.
Bro, I’ve never even heard of this website. Way to baselessly generalize every American, even those that might otherwise align with you.
It’s not a website, it’s a TV show that’s been on the air since 1993 (~32 years)
right??? how dare they insult Anglo Infoman like this /j
SNL is Canadian SNL. Lorne Michaels is from Toronto and he scouts most of his talent from Canada.
I used to call Boys in the Hall Canadian SNL.
Kids in the Hall kind of replaced SCTV which was meant to compete with SNL.
Different formats though.
Nope. Lorne Michaels produced both Kids in the Hall and SNL, many cast migrated over.
Uh, Kids in the Hall?
Hey, I’m old. I gots the memory problems.
Seriously though, it’s been about 30 years since I’ve seen it.
Didn’t know about this show and I just subbed with Jellyseer. Being from the US I hate US TV.
It can be hot or miss, but if you’re into Canadian politics it’s been very hit this year.
Are you saying Trent McClellan’s dead on Greg Fergus impression isn’t gonna play well in the states?
Clicked this post to say just that
It’s much better than SNL.
How would you describe it?
It is right in the name, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” is a comedic parody of 60 Minutes and shows like it.
I asked my Chinese AI and it offered this:
This Hour Has 22 Minutes
Mock newsmagazine; sharp, focused, satirical. Cynical, biting, “gotcha” journalism parody. Mostly pre-taped and tightly edited.
Saturday Night Live
Live variety show; broad, chaotic, character-driven. Silly, absurd, celebratory, sometimes clumsy.

I honestly fucking hate this trend. If I wanted to know what an LLM would say about something, I would ask it myself. Shit like this is not a substitute for human interaction.
Also, you couldn’t pay me to publicly advertise that my ability to look up information had so completely atrophied.
It’s closer to The Daily Show, but weekly.
I’d say more like a slightly political Carol Burnett show.
“This Hour Has 22 Minutes”
This
Hour
Has
22
Calling 22 minutes Canadian SNL is so fucking lazy. One is a live variety show and the other is pre filmed satirical news.
If anything 22 minutes is Canadian Colbert/John Steward
Also, we claim SNL as Canadian already anyway
If anything 22 minutes is Canadian Colbert/John Steward
Aren’t those studio interview heavy, though? SNL is where I’d go to explain 22 to a foreigner, even though the live broadcast gimmick isn’t there.They do do on-location interviews sometimes, I guess…
Honey, we have the Daily Show at home.
The Daily Show at home:
John Steward
I’m offended eh. It’s not even the same fucking format. Lazy fucking assholes
I have never heard of this show, nor am I Canadian, but I am offended for you.
Canadian SNL? WTF is this bullshit?
Oh, headlines aren’t allowed to name things anymore. It’s part of the Darmok accord.
Let’s see….
SNL was co-created by Canadian Lorne Michaels.
It grew popular due to the comedy talent of Canadians like Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Mike Myers, and others.
Saturday Night Live is the Canadian SNL.
“Canadian SNL”? Next they’ll be calling Ed the Sock the next Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
Mark Critch has it nailed.
