Good News Weekend

1998 · 1 season

A loose, live-wire comedy revue that skips from pop-culture jabs to musical numbers, feeling like a cheeky late-night variety show.

Overview: Good News Weekend, a ten-week special, focussed more strongly on popular culture than the news and frequently featured musical guests and stand-up performers. The shows were broadcast live, with the exception of a few prerecorded sketches. From Wikipedia.
How it feels: Satirical, light, absurd and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, celebrity, art, music
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
