Originally created by BAFTA Award-winning executive producers Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson (<em>Whose Line Is It Anyway?<\/em>), the half-hour comedy program combines the best elements of panel shows, stand-up comedy, and improvised games, with two teams of comedians taking a satirical swipe at current news, pop culture, and world events. Emmy-winning comedian Trevor Noah (<em>The Daily Show<\/em>) will executive produce the U.S. series with Patterson. Production on the series will begin in 2024. The host will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two things I&#8217;m most passionate about in life are paying my landlord and making people laugh. We could all use a little bit more laughter as we continue to navigate today&#8217;s crazy world,&#8221; said Trevor Noah, executive producer. &#8220;By bringing <em>Mock the Week to America<\/em> with the talented Dan Patterson, I&#8217;m looking forward to doing just that.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-684922980\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;After 21 successful seasons on the BBC, we can&#8217;t wait to bring the format to the U.S. and work with America&#8217;s deep pool of brilliant comedians,&#8221; said Dan Patterson, executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For years, <em>Mock the Week<\/em> delivered a witty spin on the news &#8211; entertaining a broad cross-section of the UK audience through funny conversations, one-liners, and improv comedy.
