Debate shows on US cable news channels such as CNN's Crossfire and MSNBC's Hardball are to be "skewered" by a new Comedy Central show, Crossballs.
The new show will feature comedians posing as experts debating real people who don't realise that the show is a sham.
"Shot in front of a live audience, Crossballs is a smart, comedic spoof of programmes such as Crossfire, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and the entire Fox News Network," explains Comedy Central.
The show premieres on Tuesday, July 6 at 7:30pm ET and will air for eight consecutive weeks.
