Netflix is trying, though, with a silly parody news report tied to the show. Described as “an archival newsreel from 5 WIYZ Hawkins, Indiana” by the…
storytext Stephen Colbert probably spoke for most in the comedy business when he told me in a recent interview that this has been probably the most extraordinary period for comedians and comedy writers in recent memory.
