The channel co-founded by Al Gore said it is launching the week-in-review show John Fugelsang: So That Happened on Friday at 6 PM. And Fugelsang tweeted today that his as-yet-unnamed nightly primetime series will debut on the channel in November. A regular guest-host on Current TV the past few months, the comedian and former America’s Funniest Home Videos co-host has also appeared on CNN, Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends and MSNBC’s The Ed Show. Fugelsang is also scheduled to appear with Gore on Current’s coverage of the upcoming presidential debates starting Wednesday. Frank Conniff, who appeared on Mystery Science Theater 3000, will be an on-air contributor to So That Happened as well head writer.

I rememeber when John Foogelsang was MA’s biggest client. Guy was supposed to be the next Ted Dansen. Just saying….
Comebacks are the greatest, right???
Please shut this network down.
Current TV — Where idiotic liberals and their ideas go to die.
Current TV is like minor league baseball, it’s where you go when you’re getting started or a has-been. Examples; Keith (loonatic) Olbermann and Eliot (client #9) Spitzer.
John Fugelsang is terrific. Great choice. Smart, funny, quick. And good. A good good guy.
Congratulations to Fugelsang on the shows and for snagging Frank Conniff as head writer and performer. One of the nicest and funniest guys in show business.
Fugelsang… You and Al Gore. What a perfect match for two angry at the world people.
Love me some comeback. Big Foogel.
This guy is an ultimate failure with his hosting the AFV show and now he’s lowering himself to being a host on a little watched cable network? Yeah, that’s the way to go John!
Sorry I was late to comment, I was developing my new pitch with AJ Benza.
Fugelsang is the greatest at debating righties on religion. He really knows his stuff! Love his humor, too. And TV’S FRANK is an added bonus?! This show is gonna be FABULOUS!
Fugelsang is so smart- cant wait to set the TIVO for this one!!!
Fugelsang is an amazing talent. A great comedian and smarter than all you assistants who just want to bash. Current is smart to sign him up and give him a shot. What he should also do is a nationally syndicated talk radio show. It would be entertaining and eye-opening. Fresh compared to what is out there. There need to be some new voices.
LOVE JOHN FUGELSANG!!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!! GO JOHN!!
Very much looking forward to catching this show. I love Current, especially with all of the political news shows that have been added!
