About Sam Delaney's News Thing
With a flimsy grasp of the facts, but an iron grip on the chat, News Thing brings you the news that matters and the opinions that don’t. Hosted by journalist and author Sam Delaney, each weekly episode features a panel of top comedians, a clever political guest dragged kicking and screaming from their proper job and a load of other stuff to keep you abreast of all the big issues.
Directed by Sam Delaney, Ben Rigden, Sam Delaney's News Thing leans on a strong ensemble — Sam Delaney, Bobby Mair — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2015.
