What happens

Have I Got News for You (HIGNFY) is an American television panel show based on the British series of the same name. The show premiered on September 14, 2024, on CNN and aired around the time of the 2024 United States elections. Two pairs captained by Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black answer news-based trivia questions on current events happening the week prior to an episode's broadcast. Unlike the British original, which has used guest hosts since 2002, the program booked a permanent host in Roy Wood Jr. The show received mixed reception but improved the network's ratings for its slot and was recommissioned for a second series, which began airing on February 15, 2025. Episodes stream shortly after broadcast on the CNN app and next day on HBO Max. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
