41. The number one reason why a conservative satire show will fail...

as being the anti-daily show is that TDS is not a liberal comedy show, it's just funny. The problem with the 1/2 hour news hour is they specifically target democratic politicians/candidates, whether or not there is something funny to be said, whereas the Daily show will make fun of anyone, provided it's funny enough. That's why the "conservative answer to the Daily Show" will fail, because you can't counter "funny" with "conservative."
