Crossballs
|
|
Crossballs was a Comedy Central television show poking fun at cable news networks' political debate shows, especially CNN's Crossfire and MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews (the name of the show is a portmanteau of Crossfire and Hardball). In each episode, a comedian posing as an expert on a particular subject would debate a real commentator, who is unaware that the show is a sham. Past topics have included whether Jesus was gay and whether vegetarianism is smart or ethical.
It debuted on July 6, 2004 and ran for eight weeks. It aired Tuesday-Friday at 7:30 PM ET.
