Basically, Chris Hardwick & Co. have figured out how to do a British-style
comedy panel game show on American television--something that the people
behind "Bunk," which I considered the unofficial Americanization of "I'm
Sorry I Haven't a Clue," weren't able to do. I now look forward to the
folks at Dave ("the home of witty banter" and comedy panel game and "Top
Gear" reruns) to license "@Midnight" from Viacom to do a British version on
their channel (although there is Comedy Central UK).
