Watch for the premiere of “Have I Got News For You,” the much-anticipated American version of the long-running BBC comedy series, on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 9 pm ET/FRI.

The 10-episode limited series is set to air regularly on subsequent Saturdays.

Produced by Hat Trick Productions for CNN Originals, the show, according to CNN, is always relevant and topical, and serves up a smart and edgy take on the news of the week from host Roy Wood Jr. along with two illustrious team captains in Amber Ruffin, an Emmy and Tony nominee and Michael Ian Black, an acclaimed comedian.

Together, it’s been said they will guide a rotating collection of guests including notable entertainers, political figures and comedians through an array of comic games and quick-witted panel conversations that test their knowledge of current events.

“It is an honor to get to work with comedy favorites Michael Ian Black and Roy Wood Jr,” said Ruffin. “It is our hope that this show will take people from saying, “This is CNN.” is “THIS is CNN!?!?””

“I’m thrilled to be joining Roy Wood Jr. and Amber Ruffin as “Have I Got News For You’s” DEI hire,” said Black. “I’m looking forward to spreading as much disinformation as possible on America’s most trusted news network – my main focus has been, and will continue to be, pleasing my handlers in the Kremlin.”
