How it feels

Two teams of comedians and guests compete in a game show where they make fun of the week's news stories. The scoring is a joke and the whole thing is just for laughs.

What happens

Dit was het nieuws (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdɪt ʋɑs ət ˈnius]; Dutch for "This was the news") is a Dutch television panel show, produced by AVROTROS and broadcast on NPO 1, wherein two teams give a satirical account of the previous week's news. The program has the form of a game show in which two teams, each with a team leader and weekly guest, compete against each other.
