I see everyone loving on HIGNFYUS, and I fully agree.
I just want to say that HIGNFY has existed since the 90s, and it is still brilliant and cogent.
There are some amazing old episodes, and you don't even need to remember what news was happening.
For one, allow me to suggest the episode with Peter Cook and Douglas Adams (yes, that Douglas Adams).

I mean if the demographics are the following, then Sarah [&/or her team] did some research and made the commercial fit who is on welfare [majority] in her state.
See below.
Source-GOOGLE. Search question "Arkansas population by race"
The racial composition of the population was: 70.2% White American 15.1% Black or African American 0.9% Native Americans and Alaska Natives 1.7% Asian American …
🤷🏿♀️she didn't lie or misrepresent.
Same can be said for North Dakota 80%+are white so why put another face when……..?

To conservatives, especially fascist leaning conservatives, the only sin is weakness. A good conservative man must be strong, tough, and manly. And, they should be into manly things, like sports.
And, people who are into sports know that “the Hawks game” could refer to the Atlanta Hawks, the Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Blackhawks, the Kansas Jayhawks, the Iowa Hawkeyes, or any other team with “Hawk” in their name. But, Eric Schmitt, and the men of his staff, were unaware of this, and, had to have it explained to them by a liberal woman from Minnesota.
He went from likely VP to pariah because his right wing “man card” got revoked.

Is Sarah prepping for a campaign? She's taken her hair down, added some blonde highlights and learned to pout her mouth like a true star….

I think Jack Smith knew from the jump that the Republicans had f8cked up and was doing a brilliant Columbo-style job of leading them to the embarrassment they deserved. Like Columbo's "just one more thing."

This show doesnt really work. Needs to mix funny news stories with politics ie have 10 mins of politics and 10 mins of other funnier news stories. Have 1 or 2 trustworthy political people that can grill someone then have established comedians or celebrities that aren't fighting for the limelight.

I was straight-up told by an assistant manager at Fiserv that I wasn’t promoted because the woman who happened to be in an interracial marriage with another woman, and had an adopted child, “checked the right boxes“.
The only reason the assistant manager told me, was to let me know if I wanted to work for a company where I have a future, “look outside of Fiserv” because they are not a meritocracy.
I normally agree with you guys, but you don’t have real jobs.

…am I the only one genuinely extremely impressed by the fact that Smith remembers the approximate date of something that happened 2.5 years ago? I find that fascinating in the sense that I'm extremely jealous of his memory haha

I have a question: So what IF Jack Smith and Fani Willis had a meeting? How is that illegal or even unbecoming???
@MyrnaColombo
October 7, 2026 at 10:53 am
The phrase "Smith on 34 convicted felon" likely combines references to Jack Smith (the former special counsel involved in federal prosecutions of Donald Trump) and Trump's 34 felony convictions in his New York state criminal trial, or alternatively, a specific case like Brandon Smith, a 34-year-old convicted felon
Donald Trump's 34 Felony Convictions & Jack Smith
• The 34 Felonies: A New York state jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in May 204. Legal challenges and appeals regarding whether those convictions stand or how immunity applies have continued through subsequent rulings.

This was delicious, and it would have been even more so if the lyingTrumpublican audience didn't brazenly strut out of the hearing and announce that Smith actually did lie. We can't forget how easy it is for them to get Americans to look away as they rewrite reality.

In Arkansas it breaks down like so for MEN receiving social services (TANF, SNAP or Medicaid),,,
• White / Caucasian: ~52% to 58% of recipients
• Black / African American: ~20% to 34% of recipients
• Hispanic / Latino: ~4% to 10% of recipients
• Other / Asian / Native American: ~2% or less

October 7, 2026 at 10:53 am
why so ready to jump down all straight white mens throats and blame them? this is while kamala lost. she didnt even mention them among all the other minority and gender groups on her publicly available platform.
straight young white men are struggling with everything from falling wages, unemployment, suicide, lower education, and so much more
i dont think we need to beat them up for being who they are and having nothing to do with the current political climate
stop isolating yourselves to be racist and hateful and painting with a broad brush of wokeism. the left cannot win that way and you will make more enemies when we should be building bridges for all americans instead of blaming those that played no role in current affairs but statistically do suffer in large amounts. stop with culture war nonsense, focus on class war, racist af
i was one such straight young white man who volunteers for charities for orphans because i was one. i was homeless, alone, working 2 jobs, living out of a storage unit, selling plasma and escort services, etc to afford college. im really tired of this hateful narrative.
and now instead youre pushing more young white men to the far right scamfluencer grifters because of your rhetoric
