“For its inaugural season, Have I Got News For You has been a welcome and lively extension of the CNN brand, and our viewers continue to show enthusiasm for comic relief on Saturday nights” said Amy Entelis, executive VP of talent for CNN Originals and creative development, in a statement.
“We’re thrilled that Have I Got News For You has made an impact with the CNN audience and can’t wait to come back next year,” added executive producer Jimmy Mulville. “I think we’ll have plenty of news to poke fun at!”
CNN has paired Have I Got News For You with a replay of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, building out a comedy-centric current events format in that window.
