The Mash Report

The Mash Report is a British satirical comedy first broadcast on BBC Two. It was hosted by Nish Kumar with an array of comedians satirising the week's news. First aired on 20 July 2017, it was a TV show spin-off of "The Daily Mash", a satirical website.
On 11 March 2021, it was announced that the BBC had cancelled the series "in order to make room for new comedy shows".
Background.
In March 2017, the BBC announced that it had commissioned a new entertainment/comedy satirical news show hosted by Nish Kumar.
Ratings.
The first episode attracted an audience of 800,000, which is 20% less than usual for its timeslot. In February 2018, the British Comedy Guide said that the show had been recommissioned a third series after "modest" ratings on television, but was more popular on the BBC iPlayer and some clips had gone viral to a global audience online.
Reception.
Chortle regarded the series as a successful UK version of "The Onion".
In July 2017, Michael Hogan of "The Daily Telegraph" gave the series four stars out of five and wrote, "People are fond of trotting out clichés about current world events being 'beyond parody' and 'the jokes writing themselves'. But no, parody still has a place and jokes do need to be written. This sharp new show did it rather well and was the most promising satirical arrival on our screens in a long time." In November 2018, the BBC's political presenter Andrew Neil was more critical, describing the series as "self-satisfied, self-adulatory, unchallenged left-wing propaganda. It's hardly balance. Could never happen on a politics show. Except this has become a politics show." He also called it a "pathetic imitation" of "The Daily Show" in the United States, describing the latter's former host Jon Stewart as "left-wing but also intelligent".
