Pedestrian Late Night fare

Taking a cue from Saturday Night Live, "The Newz" tried to break out as the only big sketch comedy show in syndication. Unfortunately, it totally lacks the innovation of the much more successful "Kids in the Hall". The fact that is was really low tech didn't help either. In the end, the facts that it tried too hard to be like SNL and that it just wasn't funny put this sketch-based show on the shelf beside "Chevy Chase". Good to see regular Whose Liner Brad Sherwood has moved on to better things.
