Fox Network Developing Conservative "Daily Show"

I Spy this in today's "The Fix," Salon's gossip column:

Fox is collaborating with "24" co-creator Joel Surnow to develop a satirical news show geared to appeal to the political right, an as-yet unnamed show that Surnow describes as "the Daily Show' for conservatives." (Variety)

Why don't they just give Dennis Miller a good time slot? He's anti-PC enough to qualify as "from the right," plus he's a known talent.

Anyway, if this happens, I'll certainly tune in, but I have my doubts. TV comedies are like new businesses, "most fail," yada yada, plus they'll be trying to pull off something new.

And, most importantly: note the impulse to produce a "conservative" version of something already successful. Alas, so common. I would be more interested if they were striking out in different formats and directions -- first developing their comedy -- rather than starting with a duplicate format and then pouring their right-wingetry in.
