CNN’s Have I Got News For You will close out its third season Saturday night with comedian Jenny Hagel and U.S. Senator Adam Schiff set to guest on the finale.
The episode marks Schiff’s first appearance on the American version of the long-running British panel show. The California senator joined the upper chamber in December 2024 after more than two decades representing his state in the U.S. House of Representatives. During his time in Congress, Schiff chaired the House Intelligence Committee and became one of the country’s most recognizable political figures.
Late Night With Seth Meyers writer/performer Hagel will be making her third visit to the CNN series. She previously served as executive producer and head writer of Peacock’s The Amber Ruffin Show and has written for Impractical Jokers, The Big Gay Sketch Show, and MTV’s 10 on Top. Hagel and HIGNFY team captain Amber Ruffin are longtime colleagues and close friends.
Since premiering in September 2024, the U.S. adaptation of Have I Got News For You has been a bright spot for CNN, drawing strong ratings on Saturday nights—traditionally a dead zone for cable news—sometimes outperforming the network’s weekday primetime lineup. The series also streams the following day on HBO Max and on CNN All Access.
While HIGNFY technically airs in primetime (9 p.m. ET), it leans heavily into late-night sensibilities. The panel format, irreverent tone, and staffing lineup—host Roy Wood Jr. and team captains Ruffin and Michael Ian Black—all draw from the DNA of traditional late-night comedy.
CNN has not yet announced plans for a possible fourth season. The series produced two ten-episode runs last year, one in the fall and another in the spring.
LEAVE THE SHOWON THE AIR
This show is my laugh for the week…what will I do now???
OH, Please come back with more shows. You all have kept me sane during the past months!! It’s either laugh or cry and you all helped me LAUGH!! Thank you!
I am watching CNN from Fort Collins, CO. Have I Got News For You just started another season here. And tonight it has disappeared? What is going on with this program?
I love this show. it’s the only way I get to laugh at the things happening in this country. please bring it back!
These seasons need to be longer than 2 months.
Waited 3+ months for it to re-start in September, and it’s over again. Haven’t heard cnn talk about signing them for a 4th season.
But how about you contract them for a full season- these are genuinely funny take on current events.
I’m starting to think that there are some boomers that dont like seeing black people and queer people on cnn.
Prove me wrong!- sign them and pay them for what they are worth!
Please “Have I Got News For You” needs to be renewed for another season. It should be on every Saturday . It’s a wonderful break from the awful daily news. We all need some laughs and a reality check! Roy Jr, Amber and Michael come back!
OMG, bring them back! They are the height of our weekends. They’re so talented and funny all of them. In this turbulent time of tyranny in the United States, joy is so scarce, these people are a heaven sent.
Please, please CNN, bring back Have I got news for you! I look forward to my Saturday night laughs from this show. I really enjoy this show. Please do not take it away from us. Thanks.
I love HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU and will be super disappointed if it does not return for a fourth season.
Please renew Have I Got News for You, it is original, timely and a major cure to countering the negativity of this year.
Renew for more episodes than 13 in Season 4.
please share this commentary with the producers and actors.
Absolutely love this show!! Please bring back the bright spot since there is so much bad crap going on in the USA today. All 3 are VERY FUNNY!!! Thank you for doing the show in the first place.
