Glenn Beck gets the Current TV treatment

Categories: Television

Do you ever watch cable television’s Current TV or seen its website? You should; its combination of staff- and viewer-produced content, ranging from hard-news reporting to satire, and aimed at a young audience, always has lively stuff. If you’ve checked it out recently, you might have seen one of their freshest SuperNews! animations. This one is about Fox News’ newest star:

Maybe Beck, who’s just announced the latest of his stand-up comedy tours (I’m not making fun of Mr. Beck: he really does have a stand-up act which is apparently distinct from what he delivers on his show), will have an on-stage answer to Current TV’s spoof of him.

    Spoofing Glenn Beck is like trying to write a satire of “Airplane!”. You can’t parody a parody.
    Beck is Howard Beale come to life. Three Philly cops have paid the ultimate price for Beck’s urging on paranoid ramblings. How many more will die before Beck says the joke has gone too far?

    Current TV gets a 0.0 rating. Nobody cares.

    Current TV should leave the spoofing to the professionals at South Park cause that was awful and more annoying than watching the real Glen Beck!!!!!!!

  • Geoff

    You forgot to mention that it’s the Al Gore-created Current TV.

    From what I’ve seen on The Stewart and Colbert Comedy News Hour, that guy is nuckin’ futs!

    Current TV is one of the best things out there, and it’s the channel I mainly leave it on when I’m home. Super News is hilarious!

    Do you know why Current TV (and Stewart, and Colbert) spoof Glenn Beck? Because they do not have the b*lls to spoof Obama, and his myriad mistakes in the early days of his presidency. You know why Glenn Beck has an audience? Because, for better or worse, he does. Instead of mocking his persona, the aforementioned pundits oughta get a clue, and take notes how free-speech comedy, unintimidated by chattering classes, is done.

    rockgolf, it was actually in Pittsburgh, so you clearly pay attention to the news. I doubt you have ever even watched Beck, you just take what Colbert and Stewart say as gospel. By your logic I’m assuming you hold Al Gore responsible for the actions of the ELF and all the destruction they have caused because he goes on about the imminent destruction of the earth. The guy was a nut, plain and simple.

    Current TV is like a National Local Public Access TV.. it’s that bad.

  • Charlie Manson

    Not to shabby
    Kinda reminds me of the National Lampoon Hour !
    So when do they do Ann Coulter ?
