CNN has renewed the US version of Have I Got News For You? for a third season.
The American version of the long-running UK comedy series is hosted by Roy Wood Jr. along with team captains Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black.
Produced by Hat Trick Productions for CNN Originals, the third season of Have I Got News for You will go out in September.
“Now that we know that none of us will be Pope, we proudly announce our return for Season 3 of Have I Got News For You this fall,” said Wood Jr., Ruffin and Black in a joint statement.
“Have I Got News For You continues to serve as a humorous reprieve for audiences on Saturday nights without ever losing its bite,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent, CNN Originals and creative development for CNN Worlwide. “The continued success of our Saturday primetime lineup shows that topical entertainment programming is resonating with CNN viewers.”
CNN will also expand its Have I Got News For You brand with a new multiplatform approach, including a companion CNN Podcast that will launch this summer.
“We’re pleased and proud that CNN have asked us to come back and find what’s funny in the news on Saturdays this Fall,” said Jimmy Mulville, executive producer for Hat Trick Productions.
Have I Got News For You is executive produced by Jim Biederman, Jimmy Mulville and Richard Wilson for Hat Trick Productions.
