* The Israeli ''Eretz Nehederet'' runs almost entirely on this format, alternating between mocking remarks about recent events in the style of Seth Myers on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive,''[[note]]The show was clearly influenced by ''SNL'' in general.[[/note]] interviews with actors playing public figures, and skits in the formats of news reports.

* Israel has ''[[https://dailyfreier.com/ The Daily Freier]]''[[note]]A Yiddish term meaning "sucker" that has been adopted into Modern Hebrew[[/note]], an English-language website which focuses on satirizing the culture of Tel Aviv, especially recently immigrated English-speaking Jews.

Not to be confused with KentBrockmanNews, a ShowWithinAShow parody of news shows, or (as "Faux News") with a common pejorative for Creator/FoxNewsChannel.

* ''The Half Hour News Hour'' was Creator/FoxNewsChannel's attempt to counter ''Series/TheDailyShow'''s perceived liberal bias with an explicit conservative bias. The show tanked and was canceled after a few months.
* ''Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld'' (The Creator/FoxNewsChannel's much more successful comedy offering. Hovers between News Parody, Faux News, ''and'' Fake Pundit Show [because it's like ''The View'', if ''The View'' had a decidedly pro-CampGay bias]. {{Dissimile}} and absurdist tangents abound.).

* ''Crossballs'', a short-lived Creator/ComedyCentral show that was a portmanteau of Creator/{{CNN}}'s (now-defunct) ''Crossfire'' and Creator/{{MSNBC}}'s ''Hardball''. Often pairing up a revolving cast of comedians with actual experts as they argued with each other on the topic at hand.

* ''Series/{{CNNNN}}'' ([[Creator/TheChaser Chaser]] Non-stop News Network): An Australian parody show spoofing Creator/{{CNN}} and Fox News.

* And on BBC radio is the PanelShow ''Radio/TheNewsQuiz'', which is about 13 years older than ''Have I Got News'' and follows a different format. The host asks a question whose answer is current news to one of the four 'contestants' (usually comedians and occasionally politicians), who then proceed to mock that particular story. After each answer, the host will provide scripted mockery of that story (often involving puns), [[ThePointsMeanNothing award points]], and move on. Each round, a cutting from newspapers or online news will be read out, and the final round has no points awarded as each guest reads out their own cutting instead. [[AudienceParticipation These cuttings are generally sent in by listeners from across the country, resulting in some being from obscure local papers.]]

* ''Website/NewsBiscuit'' is to Britain what ''Website/TheOnion'' is to America, albeit a bit less well-known

* ''Series/LesGuignolsDeLInfo'' is a French version of this trope using puppets. It airs at 8PM (the time of real news) and the anchor is based upon a real news anchor who worked for years on another channel.
