The Fox News Channel has decided to fight fire with fire and give Jon Stewart a run for his money by airing a right-wing "Daily Show-like" program on Saturday nights beginning in late January. The cable news network has only committed to airing two episodes, but if successful in its initial outing, the series would continue with a weekly broadcast.Originally titled This Just In, the show is being produced by Joel Surnow and Manny Cota of 24. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Surnow said that the show would take aim at "the scared cows of the left" and "play more to the Fox News audience than the Michael Moore channel."
