Joining 'The Race'
washingtonpost.com: "The young woman in the front-row bleacher seat didn't need any coaxing. It was an audience-participation moment of Georgetown University's new interactive play, 'The Race,' in which spectators volunteer to enter an arena and read aloud a candidate's words from a pair of video prompters. The segment is called 'Presidential Speech Karaoke.'"

I like that this show does not simply make fun of politicians. The writer says that he wrote several funny sketches, but threw them out because they just "weren't that interesting." Rather, this show finds its comedy in the actual substance of the texts and characters, while also helping to open a dialogue about many different issues. This sounds so much more compelling than Weekend Update and your standard political satire. (I'm not giving up on John Stewart and Stephen Colbert, though!)
