Have I Got News For You has officially named its captains. The new comedy news quiz show from CNN (which will also be available to stream via Max and on demand) has added Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black as heads of two competing teams. The show, which will air weekly for 10 episodes beginning on September 14, recently tapped Daily Show veteran Roy Wood Jr. as its host.
Based on the popular, long-running BBC show of the same name, Have I Got News For You will feature a rotating cast of celebrity and news-maker guests, competing on teams headed by Ruffin and Black. Episodes will feature games and panel competitions aimed to test the guests’ knowledge of current events. The BBC show, which, like its US spinoff, is produced by Hat Trick Productions, has run since 1990.
