We now return you to normal programming.

Like @MattHardy I must protest that in fact the origin of Mock The Week lies in the BBC Radio show Whose Line Is It Anyway, and it hasn’t been “knocked off” by the Brits who invented it in the first place. You guys in the USA have bought and paid for the license to copy our British idea…like many others!

Absolutely,. If "Mock the Week" is a knock off of anything then it's "Have I Got News for You" which in turn owes a similar debt to "The News Quiz"

Are you suggesting that Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the creators of "Mock the Week" shamelessly knocked off the 1998 radio British show "Whose Line is it Anywhere" created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson. I'm sure Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson will be outraged at the suggestion that they plagiarised, Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson's successful property that later spawned not only a British TV series but was subsequently licensed internationally to America, Australia, Isreal, Egypt and Thailand
